We have used Leaper Stanbrook in Eastbourne for two sales and one purchase recently. I cannot rate them highly enough. They put in a lot of effort to guide the sale through keeping both parties and solicitors informed at every stage. In both cases our sales went through quickly and to good genuine buyers. On the purchase side, they are one of very few agents in Eastbourne who actually listen to what you want. They do not waste time sending details of properties you don't want. They focus on finding exactly what you want. As with selling, they guide the whole buying process through and kept us informed along the way. The whole team are friendly and approachable unlike many other Eastbourne agents who come across as arrogant and uncaring. My advice to all buyers and sellers alike - if you possibly can use Leaper Stanbrook every time. Thank you to all the team for for helping us achieve another trouble free sale. read more

I really wanted to give this 1 star, but decided on 2 stars because the agent sounded friendly on the phone (and I'm feeling a tad magnanimous) The reality was a huge let down. He was clueless about prices although it is a central aspect of his job, and particularly as he had turned up to give a valuation. I'd already had 3 agents in before him, and he was £30K out! That's huge in anyone's books! Coincidentally, he valued it at the stamp duty threshold this smacks of laziness, indifference and greed. His behaviour did nothing to allay the reputation that hangs around estate agents, very much like a bad smell. He was hectoring, disrespectful, lacking vision and indifferent to my needs as a seller. It constantly surprises me when I encounter estate agents who have no consideration for the intense emotional cost that is often involved in selling and moving from one's home. It's not just a pile of bricks but can represent someone's dreams and hopes. Mr Leaper Stanbrook was frighteningly indifferent to that. He, moreover, tried to shame me into dropping the price, by making snide comments about things such as the 'state of the woodwork in the hallway'. He did this I believe in order to fulfill his avaricious agenda, which is to make a quick sale, and shows a shocking lack of morality. I really would recommend that you look elsewhere for a decent estate agent. There are others in Eastbourne who would do a better and more respectful job. read more

Before putting our house on the market, we took advice from 4 estate agents. The valuations were all very similar and we decided to use Leaper Stanbrook as they seemed the most knowledgeable about the local market. I have to say they provided a thoroughly professional service with excellent communication throughout. A buyer was found within 3 weeks and had it not been for the way they dealt with delicate negotiations towards the end of the transaction i am sure the sale would not have gone through. I will certainly use Leaper Stanbrook if we move again and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. read more
