We were so delighted with the service that we received right from start to finish. Our house sold in under 2 weeks with so many viewings. Symonds and Reading are not your typical estate agency. The whole team have a totally no nonsense approach, if they say they are going to do something they do ... Read Full Review

From start to finish, we felt they were interested and concerned...for us, which is a refreshing change from the usual image we all have of "estate agent attitude". When one sale fell through, they suggested that we raise the price as the market had changed. They kept us up to date at ... Read Full Review

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

Please contact the relevant Branch manager Ian Ward for Worthing or Roger Curtiss for Ferring at which point your complaint will be escalated to one of our directors.
