New Foundations is a new company run by two very familiar faces within the Bexhill-on-Sea area - Nick Sargant and Daryl Smedmor. As well as both living locally, they have between them three decades experience working in the town and have successfully helped literally thousands of local people to move home. Over the years Nick and Daryl have forged a reputation for the highest level of customer service together with their obvious experience and knowledge of Bexhill, Little Common and Cooden and the villages of Ninfield, Catsfield and Hooe. They also feel that the foundations of a 21st century estate agency should be built on the principles of honesty, integrity and always putting the customer first.

Services
We focus on selling property only, with no distractions from dealing with rentals or property management and cover Bexhill and surrounding areas. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible service, and professional advice and always with complete integrity. Our greatest asset is our reputation and we would never do anything to compromise our principles. In this ever changing market place we are always trying to improve and innovate and to present our properties to the highest standard.
Daryl and Nick own and manage New Foundations together. The following is a brief outline of their history and a small selection of the key points that their business has to offer. We have now worked together for 24 years so you could say we know each other pretty well! In that time we have worked for a large corporate agency and then were involved in setting up a successful independent agency in the local area, which we spent the next 10 years helping to improve.Then in 2012 we decided to open New Foundations with the aim of using our experience to develop a business for the 21st century but with the values of a traditional estate agent.
When you start your hunt to buy a property in Bexhill, make sure you register with New Foundations, either through our website, or by phoning or visiting our branch in Devonshire Road. As new properties meeting your criteria come on the market, we'll alert you by post, email and/or telephone. If you are interested in viewing a property, contact us quickly as our properties don't hang around for long!
The first step in putting your property on the market is the valuation, our valuers between them have many years experience in the local market. We can also give advice on improvements you could make to your home to maximise the value. We deal with many different types of people, some very familiar with the property market, others need a helping hand and we are only too happy to assist.
The following are reviews that our customers have either left on Google or Facebook. As a Buyer we found working with the New Foundations team a refreshing change to some Agents, always professional, open, responsive, willing to help with information and guidance, updates were timely but mostly in that they did what they said they would when they said they would do it.

William is an Angel! As first time buyers, we didn't have a lot of knowledge on the buying process and I don't think we could've done it without William. Nothing was ever too much to ask, responses to emails were almost immediate every time, great with providing updates the second he had anything to report. I have been praising him to our solicitor throughout!
The other agents were also great with assisting when William wasn't available, really friendly too. We would of course recommend New Foundations and will be back in touch when the time comes to sell and buy somewhere new! Thank you so much.

We brought a property through New foundations and I can't recommend them enough, we had William helping us through the process and it seemed nothing was to much trouble for him, and sometimes we were a pain! He kept us up to date every step of the way. So thank you William we would definitely recommend this agents and there staff.

Will who was the agent I dealt with in the purchase of my gorgeous new flat has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole process from my first viewing. He made everything run so smoothly and has been so helpful with all my enquiries and responded quickly. A very big Thankyou to Will and everyone at New Foundations who I would most certainly recommend.

All-round great service! Having dealt with a few local estate agents in the past, we were so impressed by New Foundations' level of professionalism and client care when it came to the sale of our house. We are so grateful to everyone in the team and hope to deal with them again in the future should we move again!

I honestly don't think I could of survived this sale process without the help from Will. He has been absolutely fantastic with assisting me through the process. As a first time buyer I went into this without any knowledge and he has been there to support me and answer everything I have needed. Nathan is also fab! He has covered Will if he has been off and also completed our first viewing - another great estate agent who goes above and beyond to assist. I have nothing bad to say about my experience with New Foundations and would definitely recommend them to everyone. 5 star service Thank you so much for everything

From start to finish I have been impressed with this agency. They have provided an oustanding, proactive, efficient service. They truly go the extra mile. My property was sold within days for the full asking price, despite being on the market with another local agent for months who got offers of 50k below this. They took all the stress out of the process, contacting solicitors, keeping me informed at every step of the way. I am truly grateful to the the team, they should be extremely proud of the exemplary service they provide.

The team at New Foundations have been great throughout the entire process. We won't hesitate to use them in future. William in particular was very attentive of issues encountered whenever the process stalled and he repeatedly chased the necessary parties, keeping us regularly updated (and we were only the buyers!). Top class service, highly recommended.

We have recently purchased a house listed through New Foundations and throughout the process they have been amazing. From the very first viewing taken by William, we felt informed about the property and confident about what we were being told, always a professional & pleasant experience. Throughout the process we were kept updated at every step, as first time buyers this was brilliant.
Any issues or queries we had, we felt as if we could call William at any time in order to get our questions answered and it was always a lovely experience. Could not recommend New Foundations enough, the team are fantastic and made the process very easy and gave us great confidence all the way through to handing us the keys.

I have just encountered a particularly stressful purchase of a property handled by the team at New Foundations. I must say that their service, professionalism, combined with the appropriate sense of humour, was nothing short of superb. They assisted, pushed and advised in all the right areas and helped me keep my sanity. I cannot praise them enough and would recommend New Foundations without exception!

They marketed a property for us recently. They found two cash buyers who made a firm offer within two days of the property going on the market. One of these prospective buyers offered above the asking price. NewFoundations kept us well-informed at every step of the sale. Thanks to them, the sale was no totally stress-free for us.

I had a really tough search and a limited budget. They had the experience to find a brilliant property that I, in my inexperience, had not considered suitable. As soon as I viewed it I realised they were right. They were really supportive during the negotiations and completion. It has made a massive difference to myself and my family and I cannot thank them enough for their help.
