Very impressed with Emslie & Tarrant and the service they provided. Peter went out of his way to keep us updated, regularly contacting us to ensure our purchase remained on track. If we moved again we would defininely use Emslie & Tarrant.

Many thanks to the team at Emslie and Tarrant, for their professionalism and help selling my flat last year. Especially to Peter Brazier who constantly kept me informed by liasing with all parties. A very smooth process, conducted in a courteous and pleasant manner.

We are so pleased that Peter B ( assisted by Debbie ) were involved in our purchase in The Meads area. It was clear from the response of other agents that it was a very problematic chain but with Peter's experience, confidence, perseverance and hard work, we succeeded in getting through to the move. Thank you so much to you both. We would recommend this agent to everyone.

Many thanks to Richard H for his professional service and support in securing my new home. Great communication and updates and nothing appeared too much trouble. I am grateful for the help I received that made a tricky purchase much easier to deal with. Happy to recommend their service from the experience I had with Emslie Tarrant. Thank you.

We were buyers for a property in Eastbourne. The two people who showed us round were polite, knowledgeable and professional. Once we had an offer accepted, the purchase was managed by Darren. The service received was appalling. We were 7 weeks into the purchase and receiving phone calls 3 times a week demanding updates in a rude manner. They invented a completion date with the buyer that we did not agree to and was not communicated via the solicitors.

We were accused of 'messing the seller around' when we booked a survey and told that this was totally unexpected as many don't get a survey. They told us the sale was at risk as a result and put pressure on us to cancel our booked survey and go with a company recommended by the seller. They then expected us to exchange before reading the survey and told us we were aggravating the seller when we refused. The survey itself highlighted multiple defects and the sale fell through. Felt insulted, pressured and poorly treated throughout.

Robert, Darren, and the rest of the team at Emslie & Tarrant have dealt with the recent sale of a two-bed house in East Dean with professionalism, friendliness and excellent communication throughout. I am happy to recommend their services.

Just a quick note to express my gratitude to the team at Emslie & Tarrant for excellent service and professionalism in managing the sale of my property in Ratton. The advice given, from initial valuation to final sale proved correct at each stage and I appreciated the effort involved, particularly as there were setbacks along the way. I had no hesitation in recommending your firm to my neighbour and she has just emailed me to say she is similarly impressed.

We have just sold a leashold flat in Eastbourne through Emslie and Tarrant having switched to them from a previous local agent. We found the whole experience with Emslie and Tarrant to be first class and the lengths that the negotiators went to to overcome several difficult challenges certainly led to the sale being achievable within the timeframe that we were looking for. We would particularly recommend Debbie and Darren as stand out members of staff for who nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks to you all!

Richard Hine has been absolutely amazing throughout our house purchase. He always kept us in the loop, been honest and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. I would not hesitate in recommending him as an agent! Thank you Emslie & Tarrant.

Richard at Emslie & Tarrant was incredible during the sale of our house. After accepting an offer, Richard's communication was impeccable, he kept us accurately updated on a weekly basis and chased up anything that was requested of him. I would thoroughly recommend Richard, he made what could have been a stressful time, a lot more manageable.

I have never known a Agent to be so dedicated to keeping on top of a conveyance chain! I received regular calls and updates and it was not necessary for me to call them as I was kept fully informed! Brilliant! Thank you especially to Richard Hine who was dealing with my sale/purchase and made me feel confident that everyone was happy and transparency of knowledge absolutely forthcoming at all times. Also Debbie who stepped in and was most helpful over the Christmas period. Great team and one happy customer here! thank you!

We used E&T for the sale of a flat in Eastbourne. The team were really great-clear, professional and on the ball. they kept a close eye on proceedings and helped us to secure a successful sale, with great patience and humour. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them.

Do not trust this agent, especially with your keys! They lied about our buyers statuses and this then cost us in solicitors fees. They also let our prospective buyers pull up flooring and take off our chimney breast covering. After telling them not to use the keys in future they still did for themselves and handing them out to third parties too. Feel totally violated with the way they behaved. Beware
