What does our local Hamptons community think

Big thanks to Tamsin, Ana and Tracey for getting our sale over the line. We'd been trying to sell for a while with other agents but Hamptons were the one that closed it out. It wasn't just the result either, it's the frequency of updates, the clarity in their communications, the chasing of other parties, the professionalism etc. Highly recommend them. Adding to this review as I recently used Hamptons for a rental move. It was a different team this time, with James and Janie, but once again it was another positive experience. The team were professional, supportive and communicated clearly and regularly. Big thanks to both James and Janie!

Hamptons have been letting my house in Lindfield for nearly a year now. They linked us almost immediately with a choice of suitable tenants and guided us through the rental process. From first visit to now, they have been thoroughly professional & have provided hassle free support. Would highly recommend to any prospective clients.

Jerry West April 2024

We used Hamptons to find our current let - they produced a shortlist of properties that met all our needs, and worked extremely well with us to achieve a quick move into rented accommodation - thank you Janie. As a result we are also now using them to find us a home to buy - and while we have yet to secure our dream house...I have every confidence in Ana and the rest of the team. We have, over the years, used a number of estate agents - I continue to find the service and customer care at Hamptons better than any other.
