ABSOLUTELY THE WORST AGENT we have ever dealt with. Not even worth the 1 star. They would not stop pestering us untill we changed over to them. We had so many cancellations & not informed until the last minute if at all. JACK Alsobrook came round, said he could sell at the asking price, he also came armed with a list of 100 people he said wanting a property like ours in our area, turns out we had to drop the price considerably, he also said he would only charge 1% as we were not willing to pay 1.5 we'd stay with who we were with already. We signed the form for a 25% if he got over the asking price he then took back the form to supposedly finish completing it and changed the percentage. Very sly, very underhanded & very wrong. We very stupidly didn't check it as he had confirmed again it would be 1%. We took him at his word. £3000 we lost to this unscrupulous man & when we called the Lewes branch Sam told us there was nothing he could do not even a gesture of good will on their behalf. Jack has now been transferred to the Crawley branch due to complaints regarding his underhanded business practice. So BEWARE OF JACK ALLSOBROOK, check & double check everything on the form before signing. Better still do not use this agent or let this person in your home.

We had no end of trouble with this estate agent, who claimed to have three buyers, but each fell through. The value of the property was vastly over rated. and we eventually sold for �3.5K less.

We had no end of trouble with this estate agent, who claimed to have three buyers, but each fell through. The value of the property was vastly over rated. and we eventually sold for �3.5K less. Read the small print though, as this estate agent didn't sell as a percentage of the SALE price, but as a percentage of the ESTIMATED price! Call me cynical, but doesn't this encourage agents to over estimate the value?? It also means there is no incentive for them to get the best price, as they will still get their original percentage!

Definitely the worst estate agents I have ever experienced. They made a lot of promises to start with - none of which were kept. I have a prime location house and over the last 2 years my neighbours had all sold in weeks at the right price. They started by putting up a sign, which collapsed after a week narrowly missing a passing pedestrian - it took them three days and everal phone calls to come and clear up the mess of hanging fittings. After 2 months I fired this bunch of jokers, who despite arranging numerous inspections by completely unsuitable buyers and haviving 'great prospects in the pipeline' could only manage two paltry offers way below the market price. They then refused to budge from the contracted 4 month sole agency agreement and the house lay empty and unmarketed for TWO months at my cost . In the first week with the new agency after this period I had two good offers and am now selling to one of those.

Steer away!!! Looking for a property to rent took 3 days to get through to them about a property, young lady in 20'sleft waiting to view stayed outside in the cold for 1 hour(not in the friendliest of places!!) and they never turned up!!, the next day they came up with excuses as to why the person didnt meet me!! Finally getting a sorry they arranged an appointment for the following day, rushed to get down there then found a message saying it has been sold!! Also they came up with more excuses (all different) as to why they didn't contact me and let me know! Will NEVER use them again, if only I had looked them up first!!
