GoogleExcellent service from Amy at the heathfield branch.
She's been very helpful in listening to my needs and setting my expectations. She has helped me throughout the process, giving me advice and updates when needed and requested. Having experienced some not so helpful staff from other estate agents, Amy was a breath of fresh air. Amy is a real credit to your company.

GoogleFreeman Forman were fantastic from start to finish. When all the other companies were being a bit useless they were doing everything they could to help us. We had several bumps along the road to buying our new house, but Freeman Forman in Heathfield were the most helpful they could possibly have been through out. Daryl and Haydn kept in in touch, were friendly and personable and did everything they could in their power to help me though the tricky times. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI recently visited Freeman Forman in branch to discuss my options for renting my property. I spoke with Chloe and Rebecca on the rental side, both were very helpful and transparent in discussing next steps with me. I will definitely be considering using them as my agent in the future!

TrustpilotFantastic Tonbridge Team!
The team at the Freeman Forman office in Tonbridge, Kent sold my flat. A massive thank you in particular to Megan for being brilliant throughout this process. It was really tricky with the property management company AB Canham, but throughout all this Megan was unwaveringly professional, patient, positive and reassuring and she kept the buyer engaged and on-side, preventing the chain from collapsing. Thank you!

TrustpilotFreeman Forman Lettings in Eastbourne…
Freeman Forman Lettings in Eastbourne were happy to take the 10% management fees for 20 years when we let our property out through them, but when our tenant decided not to pay the rent anymore they were suddenly very unhelpful, they knew this was crippling us as the interest on the mortgage had shot up and with no rent coming in we were struggling.
They did not answer emails we sent to them and rarely answer the phone choosing to decide whether to return calls based on the messages left. I had to talk Sam through the online form to get the Universal Credit paid direct, I can’t believe they didn’t know how to do that and then their account dept refused to pay the rent to us until their agent called the Universal Credit team each month to get a reference number to match to the payment, they didn’t want to do that because Universal Credit are difficult to get through to, it was when I took over that job that I realised the reference number was the same every month, but Freeman Forman staff hadn’t realised that.
When our tenant finally left we asked the agent how we went about getting the deposit, they charged us £180 to book a ‘walk through’ with an agent who told us on the day of the walk through that he only charges £50 so despite them knowing we were financially in difficulty they stiffed us for £130. We have 4 rentable properties and I will never use them again.

GoogleWe worked with Greg and his colleagues in the Freeman Forman Heathfield branch, and although we have decided not to proceed with the sale of our house (for which Greg secured a very good offer), we have no hesitation in recommending Greg, Kay and their colleagues to both prospectives sellers and buyers. They know the area, have a good network across the region and are responsive, professional and kind. If circumstances change, we will certainly return to Freeman Forman to sell our house.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleEvery member of staff at the Heathfield branch of Freeman Forman that I spoke to during the sale of my late sister's house knew exactly where we were up to whenever I contacted them. They all dealt with my queries with exceptional professionalism. Messages were acted on promptly and Solicitors chased when necessary. The quality of service from each member of the team was excellent.
Forman Freeman apply research techniques before listing a house for sale so that realistic market values and expectations can be applied to selling the property, whilst observing the need to match those expectations with client circumstances. Their marketing techniques meant that there were plenty of viewers lined up and offers made within two weeks of listing the property. The house was under offer by the end of those two weeks and the sale progressed to completion within one month of probate being granted, Freeman Forman having everything in place to smooth the way. I would have no doubts about using them again in the future.

GoogleImpressed from the start by the research Greg had done on our house , its location and the property market. The team worked well together and they all well informed about the process and what to do. We particularly worked with Sophie when she showed round potential buyers and answered any queries we had quickly and professionally. Daryl had many useful ideas on presenting the house well. We had hitches on the way but with this support team we were always encouraged to keep going. Thank you to all.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI just wanted to say a big thank you to Freeman Forman, especially Sophie and Karen(?). They were the one's who kept us up to date all the time through the process, when none of the other agencies were doing so. Moving house is stressful, but with the team at Freeman Forman, it was definitely made that little bit easier, Thank you.

GoogleVery rude when decided not to go with them. After cancelling a couple of viewings after founding the house of our dreams, got bombarded by unwanted emails and pushy sales calls to go with their mortgage brooker. Although the Becky was pleasant and had offered a better deal, we went back to our original brooker who said he would be able to do better still. I thoughtfully called to cancel the appointment as we were happy with our current mortgage brooker only to be have a very unprofessional angry lady say oh why didn't he find that in the first place and hung up before I could say any more. Will not be using them ever again.

She communicated with clarity and skillfully oversaw our house sale contract, proactively liaising with the buyers' solicitors to ensure a swift and successful closing.

GoogleAbsolutely terrible service, don’t know what they are doing, push you to the point where you get frustrated with them, then they use that as a reason to be rude on the phone.
Advert said communal parking…..now being told it’s allocated, which is fine but the lady was very rude about it.
Had to chase the inventory twice a week for a month…. Then it said a window was working that was not….
Before we rented the building we were promised someone would contact us to repair a hole in the wall….guess what NOTHING had happened.
I will not be using this company again it’s just the worst

GoogleFrom the initial meeting I was confident that Daryl and the team were running a pretty slick operation and had good answers to my questions.
Due to Covid restrictions, they recommended grouping all the viewings together on one day, which involved us 'moving out' for a day.
The plan paid off well, with 7 bookings, 6 viewings and 5 offers on the next working day !PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
