My first experience of Sawyers was over ten years ago as a tenant, and they did a great job. Since I first became a landlord six years ago, Sawyers have been finding me tenants,sorting out references, inventories, deposits and checking tenants out. They continue to give a great service. While I manage tenancies myself, I find it useful to have an agent like Sawyers involved and I think tenants do too. I always speak to Kerry-Anne if I need some advice and the team are responsive and efficient if something needs sorting out. I have also sold property through Sawyers and have had a similar experience. Lee managed our last sale and he remained cheerful and helpful throughout what became a drawn out and quite complicated sale.

Sawyer and Co were extremely helpful in finding us a property at short notice. We were relocating to Brighton and Hove from the Midlands due to a change in work commitments and needed a two bedroom property close to the seafront that both accepted pets and had a garden. We were able to trust them to find properties even though we weren't always able to view them due to us not living in the area yet. They didn't complain about this once. We took the property on faith without viewing and when Lee, who had arranged everything for us, showed us around we were really pleased as it ticked all the boxes. We highly recommend Sawyer and Co to meet your needs.

My partner and I purchased a property through Sawyer & Co recently. Very helpful, very professional, did everything they could to make sure the sale went through as swiftly as possible. Very pleased with their service.

Sawyer & Co were part of the chain involved in our recent successful exchange of contracts. While they were actually employed by our buyer, not by us, they played an integral part in the success of the chain. Lee Cook in particular provided a level of service which was far over and above their contractual obligation by agreeing to communicate with us directly when issues were encountered with our buyer's sale. Lee provided a vital link between all parties at the bottom of our chain and pro-actively kept everyone informed with the state of affairs and any actions required. His professional, upfront and honest approach was very refreshing and meant that expectations throughout the chain were properly managed. Everyone else that I spoke to in the Hove office was very friendly and helpful and ensured that messages were always past on to Lee accurately and in a timely fashion. Based on my experience of the Hove office, I would have no hesitation in considering them to act on our behalf if we are ever crazy enough to move house again!

We’ve just moved down to Brighton from London, and bought our home through Sawyer & Co. They were great throughout, answered emails and phone-calls promptly, chased things up if there were any delays, were honest and upfront about the property including where there were problems, and overall really nice to work with. Lee Cook negotiated the sale, and after the exchange we met up with the previous owners and they too were very happy.

The whole team at the Portslade Office were fantastic. Our move was protracted and became fraught from time to time, but throughout Sawyers were always friendly, full of good advice and tireless in their efforts to make our move go smoothly. They have a real honesty and integrity in the way they work. Before we moved someone suggested to me that with everyone online these days you could buy and sell without paying an estate agent. I can tell you now that if we had taken that advice we wouldn't have secured our wonderful new home.

Looking for an estate agent to sell our property in Shoreham: after 4 appraisals which differed wildly (£270,000 difference!) shiny suits, insincerity, and a quite spectacularly unprofessional inter-agent slagging match we were in despair. We go to view a house that we like. Enter Lee from Hove Sawyer and co. He is polite, genuine, knowledgeable and likeable. He introduces us to Adam in the Portslade office who comes to do a valuation on our house. And here again Adam is genuine, straightforward, amiable. His valuation is reasonable, in the middle of the 4 other valuations. From start to finish both offices (lovely Dominique in Hove, James and Alex in Portslade) have been helpful and made the process as smooth as it can be. I would highly recommend Sawyer and co if you are selling or buying.

They conducted a successful tenant find during the low point of the year. Also Danica was diligent and helpful with various unexpected bumps along the way.

The team at Sawyer & Co provided a courteous and efficient service, leading to a wholly satisfactory result. Most of my dealings were with Bob Beaken, as senior negotiator. I had chosen Sawyer & Co because they were close to the property being sold, and he showed he was very familiar with the area and the properties in it. He was very responsive, even answering and acting on emails sent to him over the weekend – something which far exceeded my expectations. This was the first time in a long time that I had been involved in selling a property. I imagine every sale has its difficulties, and so it was with ours. However, Bob’s negotiating skills, advice and support saw us through to a very satisfactory conclusion. I would recommend Sawyer & Co to anyone selling a property in this area.
