GoogleI rented a flat through Whitlock & Heaps and was their client for over four years. Unfortunately, my overall experience was very disappointing.The only person in the office who was consistently friendly and professional was Marie. The rest of the staff were generally unapproachable and unhelpful. Despite repeated promises to address problems in the flat,nothing was ever properly resolved. Issues were acknowledged, but no real action was taken.What upset me the most was my experience with Jan Heaven. I found her attitude extremely arrogant and disrespectful. I also strongly felt that because I am not British, I was treated differently and subjected to comments that I perceived as discriminatory and inappropriate. This was deeply hurtful and unacceptable.I believe the owner of this agency should be much more careful when selecting staff, especially when it comes to professionalism, respect, and equality. No client should ever feel uncomfortable or discriminated against.Because of this experience, I will not be using this agency again, and I would not recommend it to friends or family.

With regard to maintenance matters, our records show that all reported issues were acknowledged and addressed within appropriate timeframes, with contractors instructed and works carried out where required. We recognise that, at times, outcomes may not always meet expectations, but we are satisfied that matters were handled promptly and in accordance with standard procedures.
Below are two emails received from your co-tenant which also contradict your comments.

Morning Jan,
Thank you so much for your time with sorting these issues. We really appreciate it.
And thanks for returning the key this morning.
You are always super helpful. Have a good day and a great weekend.
Thanks again,

We strongly refute the suggestion that you were treated differently due to your nationality a claim that is unsubstantiated and incredibly offensive.

GoogleIf there was an estate agent of the year award Jack Fisk of Whitlock & Heaps should be nominated.
Jack was involved in every part of my 96 year old mother’s house move and went above and beyond the usual estate agent role.
At 96, with one daughter living abroad and the other living in North Yorkshire, my mother had no idea how to use the internet or a smart phone, therefore all documents were mailed either to Jack or sent by post to my mother’s home address.
Jack helped her complete and send off all the paperwork, sat through the laborious site plan meetings with my mother in his office and at a drop of a hat, went to see my mother at her home if any information was needed. He explained everything clearly and helped make this house move as stress free as possible. Nothing was too much trouble for Jack.
Thank you Jack for everything you have done. We can never repay your professionalism and kindness enough.
To anyone who is looking for a fantastic estate agent who goes more than the extra mile, look no further than Whitlock & Heaps

GoogleI have just brought my first property with W&H, with my point of contact as Jack, who could not have been more supportive and helpful. Jack was constantly available via phone/email throughout all hours of the day to answer any questions I had and was able to bridge the gap of communication between myself, the seller and solicitors extremely effectively. W&H acted professionally at all times, I shall certainly be recommending to family and friends. W&H clearly know the local area very well and I could not have received a better service. W&H offered constant effort to get a complex transaction complete and I am extremely grateful. Thank you very much indeed.

GoogleWe have just sold our second house through Whitlock & Heaps. Once again, Jack and his team have provided excellent service throughout a challenging marketing period, they provided honest feedback immediately after each viewing. Their commitment and communication is exceptional and any questions were dealt with immediately. A big shout out to Edward who has gone above and beyond in supporting us with the sale and purchase of a property through another agent. We would highly recommend Whitlock & Heaps, they are an independent agent who provide a great personal service with professionalism and honesty, certainly the best in the area.

GoogleJack offers an outstanding personable service and represents what a fully serviced independent estate agent should be in todays market. I was a first time buyer living overseas and was guided effortlessly through what I perceived as an intimidating process with kindness, efficiency, good humour and total trust. This is not just a faceless agency. Whitlock & Heaps are outstanding and deserve their well-deserved recognition as a leading example for all other Sussex estate agencies.
An update - sadly I had to sell my house in Hove which was superbly managed to let for several years with Jack and his team. Jack at Whitlocks orchestrated a very safe, slick and professional sale seamlessly. I can’t describe how thankful I am to have dealt with a truly local, friendly and efficient team of estate agents. Every task and sign off was done without any drama - remarkable in these times! My greatest thanks to you all.

GoogleIf you need an estate agent in Brighton and Hove, you should definitely choose Whitlock and Heaps. I am so grateful to Jack Fisk, who was timely in communication, reassuring in legal adversity, and utterly tenacious in pursuing the sale of my flat over many months: It is obvious to me that more corporate agents would not have provided the same level of care, oversight and determination. Karen, Edward and the rest of the team are also brilliant. If you are thinking of putting your property on the market, you should certainly make a beeline for Whitlock and Heaps.

GoogleWhen I was a student in Brighton, letting agents were an absolute nightmare. I genuinely wish I'd come across Jack and the team at Whitlock and Heaps earlier. Lovely, professional people who go the extra mile for their clients. They sold me my first house in 2013, let it out for me when I had to move away, and have now sold it. I can't recommend them enough. Special mention to Edward, one of the sales agents. He has been an absolute diamond in getting our sale pushed through before Christmas.

On meeting Jack Fisk for the market appraisal we knew we were in professional hands.
He guided us through the entire process from marketing to completion, finding three interested buyers within the first four days.
Jack is by far the most honest, straightforward and professional estate agent we have met.
It took only two months from Market Appraisal to completion.

GoogleWe recently sold our flat and bought our new house through Whitlock and Heaps, with support from Edward and team, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Although it took a little time to find the right buyer for our flat (we had already picked our new home from the start so this wasn’t an issue), from start to finish, him and the team was professional, responsive, and went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. They kept us informed every step of the way and provided clear guidance on both the sale and purchase. Their flexibility and problem-solving skills, particularly on our completion date made a stressful time much easier. After the purchase Edward was also available for any questions or concerns that we had, which was extremely appreciated. We highly recommend working with Edward at Whitlock and Heaps to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Anyone lucky enough to have him working onside should be delighted to have such an experienced and empathic representative on board. Thanks again!

GoogleJack at Whitlock & Heaps acted for us on the sale of our house. He was excellent - always contactable, proactive and clearly knows his stuff and the local market. Our sale was part of quite a complex chain with around 7 properties and various deadlines. I really don't believe the entire chain would have completed without Jack being on top of it, constantly chasing other sellers, agents and conveyancers and keeping us in the loop with what was going on. This is where you really benefit from an agent like Jack who adds a lot of value between a sale being agreed and exchange (whereas my prior experience is of estate agents switching off and being harder to get hold of as soon as the sale is agreed).
On the original sale aspect, everything went smoothly - pictures and advert were great and I also thought Jack and team handled viewings and offers really well, with a clear focus on maximising the sale price. If we were to sell again in the future, I would certainly come back to Jack and Whitlock & Heaps.
