“As always, a pleasure doing business. The process was simple and effective, from viewings through to completion the team are always on hand to answer any questions and supply relevant information. Mr B, Brighton”

Fantastic

“I placed my flat with Auction House Sussex after nearly a year of struggling to sell it via traditional methods. I couldn't be more pleased with the service I got. From the first contact, they were helpful and professional, clearly explaining the process and the pros and cons of selling via auction with absolutely no hard sell or pressure to go with them. While the property was on the market, they handled viewings professionally with minimum disruption to me, and always providing clear feedback quickly after the viewing. When I received pre-auction offers, they did a great job of handling the negotiations, and I ended up with a sale price far better than I could have anticipated. They then managed the final details up until the transfer of funds and handover of keys, making it all as easy and painless as possible. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Mr B, Brighton”

“Austin Gray helped with the sale of our property earlier this year and we cannot recommend them highly enough.   Graham was an absolute pleasure to deal with from the outset. He was responsive, proactive, honest and thoroughly professional throughout the whole process and went above and beyond in order to help us with our sale, and our ongoing purchase too.   We wouldn’t think twice about using them again and would recommend Austin Gray to anyone who was thinking about selling their home.   Chris & Chloe    ”

Chris & Chloe

“I think the thing we appreciated most about Austin Gray's service was the speed with which any queries we had were acknowledged and dealt with. Even when we first placed our offer, at around 10pm one Saturday evening, we received an email back from Graham within the hour thanking us. This continued throughout the purchase process. We always felt informed and considered which was brilliant.”

Mrs S

“Following the recent successful auction of my property, I can highly recommend the services of Austin Gray. From the initial enquiry and valuation, through to the viewings and finally the auction itself and the exchange of contract I was extremely impressed with the sound advice and professional service and care given. I am very pleased that I engaged them to act for me and would have no hesitation in using them again in the future.   Judith    Hove”

“Austin Gray from day 1, were, ‘can do’, timely and efficient. Stewart could not have been more helpful when he explained to me, a novice, the lease extension process. He also dealt with the flat valuation.  The negotiations were protracted due to the very tricky freeholder but it is at times like these a great company shines. Everyone, I dealt with during that covid year, went above and beyond.  Stewart and the proactive, Melanie in administration too, a dream team.  Thank you, C.K.  ”

“I have recently been working with Stewart at Austin Gray in relation to lease extensions. Not only has he been quick to act and responds in a timely manner, he is a mine of information and has provided invaluable advice on this topic and to add, at a competitive price. We have even been able to use his expanded network to our advantage! Melanie has fully supported our transactions and has gone over and above in checking to see if everything is in order or indeed chasing me to ensure progress was being made. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services and will certainly look to use them again – A J”

““Graham at Austin Gray was great throughout our buying process. As first time buyers a lot of the process was new to us but Graham made it straightforward, transparent and even gave us some good recommendations for local tradesmen to work on the house. The communication was always excellent and questions we had were immediately answered. Thanks for all your help.””

“From the first time I met Graham from Austin Gray I felt in very safe hands. I always found him up front, approachable and not your typical estate agent. As with all property sales there were a few problems which were handled quickly and efficiently reducing my stress levels. I can offer my highest recommendation for Austin Gray in particular Graham who is a genuinely nice guy. M Osborne - 25th January,2021  ”

M Osborne

““ I cannot recommend Graham and the team at Austin Gray enough.  They made what at times can be a rather stressful and overwhelming process of selling a property much more manageable for me, the seller. Graham sped up the process and connected the dots and essentially became the driving force for the sale. He went above and beyond what I suspect other estate agents provide. His honesty and knowledge about not only the market in general but about my specific situation was impressive and hugely valuable! I would highly recommend Austin Gray for the sale of your property! “ KA August 2020.”

“Dear Graham. We can't thank you enough for your professionalism, perseverance and good humour in helping us to achieve our dream. If only all Estate Agents could be as efficient as you are ! We hope we'll see you on the Islands before long. Best Wishes, Claire and Derek”

Claire and Derek

“We have recently completed the sale of our flat and Graham and his team were nothing short of incredible at getting it through, especially during such an uncertain time for our economy. Graham, one of the company partners, was particularly amazing. To say he went above and beyond doesn't do justice. He made himself available days, evenings and weekends to answer and questions we had and help in any way. He also genuinely cares about the happiness and wellbeing of his clients - a trait I have found to be quite rare in the property industry. I will definitely be recommending Austin Gray to anyone renting and selling in the area. Kind regards, Katie & Ben 13/8/20”

Katie & Ben

“I have just bought and sold a property with Austin Gray and I can honestly say it has been a fantastic experience. Along with solicitor Helen Rowe, Partner at Griffith Smith Solicitors and Andrew Shippey of Ingard Financial Ltd (both recommended by Graham Farthing), I cannot fault the services they have provided. All are highly professional and committed to making the process of moving run as smooth as possible. Nothing is too much for them and no questions go unanswered. If you want an estate agent who cares, who always gives 100% and acts with the utmost integrity then Graham and his team at Austin Gray are for you.   ES June 2020      ”

Emma Smith

“Thank you Austin Gray for the excellent service by your firm regarding the sale at auction of the above property. I was particularly impressed by the courtesy, professionalism and current market knowledge shown by all the team. I would further say that I have no hesitation in recommending Austin Gray to any prospective vendor. Indeed I hope to be using their services again in the future.”

Graeme, Brighton

“The auction team at Austin Gray provided a professional and reliable service when I recently sold through them. They managed the process smoothly and achieved a good price for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.”

Gail, Brighton

“I really valued the experience I received from Austin Gray and the way the house sale transaction was handled. I would wholeheartedly recommend Austin Gray for any house sale transactions.”

Jimo, Shoreham-by-Sea

“Having used Austin Gray to arrange the auction sale of my property in Brighton, I have no hesitation in recommending them. The professional approach from the start, and sound advice from the whole team, proved sound. Without doubt, the smoothest and fastest sale of property I have experienced.”

Malcolm, Ventnor

“When I decided to sell my garage I had thought that the best route might be a private sale to a neighbour for what I thought was a fair price. However, after talking to Austin Gray's Auction Department I was persuaded to try the market properly at auction, as they insisted it could do much better. I am hugely grateful for that advice as, even before the auction, offers started coming in well above what I had anticipated. These were all refused and the eventual auction result was truly surprising. I have actually used Austin Gray several times in the past and would not hesitate to recommend them. Their advice was spot on and more than justified the fee.”

Neil, Brighton

“I can honestly say that if it hadn't been for the dedication and professionalism of Austin Gray, our sale and purchase would not have gone through. If we ever move house again, I sincerely hope to be able to buy through them, and would definitely use them to market our own property. The best estate agents in Brighton and Hove - and we've had experience dealing with almost all. Simon”

Simon

“Thank you so much for all your help getting the lease extended. You have been unbelievably efficient and helpful. I am sure I will be back to you for further advice in the future.”
