Testimonials
Here is what recent clients have had to say about our agents in Sussex.
We are glad to recommend Rupert as one of the best agents we have worked with in our long history of real estate transactions. Rupert is the consummate professional with unmatched expertise in country properties. He demonstrated this while helping us acquire our first large country estate in Sussex. Whilst kind and patient, Rupert never shied away from being direct and reasonable when managing our expectations and concerns. We feel very fortunate to have worked with him and are very grateful to him for finally being able to live our countryside dream.
We found selling a house after over 20 years and searching for something different a very daunting prospect. Michael Oury has boundless energy and a deep knowledge of the housing market. He listened carefully to us and immersed himself in what we needed. Most importantly he helped to secure exactly the right house for us at the right price. He has wisdom, experience and great connections. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
We are delighted to be settled into our new home but we wouldn’t be here had it not been for the insight and deep market knowledge that Rupert Connell brought to our search. He patiently accompanied us to viewings of properties we thought we’d like, even though he knew they wouldn’t be right and when he suggested a property that was not in keeping with what we (thought) we wanted, we were sceptical. But it was - and is - a wonderful home for us and we are so grateful that he suggested we give it a once-over. He then helped us immensely through the process and negotiations and was pragmatic and supportive throughout - nothing was too much trouble and he was always in our corner. If you’re buying a property in Kent or Sussex, his encyclopaedic knowledge of the market and excellent attitude are absolutely indispensable.
