      Recommend to all and sundry..

      Two bottles of rather fine quality bubbles, ready chilled, are being walked down to you this afternoon. I hope there'll be enough for a largish glass each.

      Please will you accept from me and the family our very grateful thanks for all the efforts that you and Sims Williams staff have taken to help us and to get a solid sale.

      If asked we'd be delighted to recommend the company to all and sundry. I can't imagine, with the amount of work everyone did, that there can have been a profit in this deal for you.

      Please pass my deepest thankyous to everyone in your branch

      Attentive, knowledgeable and courteous agency..

      May I just say what a pleasure it has been to find an attentive, knowledgeable and courteous agency to sell my house for me. 

       Throughout the sales process, you have shown a good grasp of the local market, and whilst I have been looking to buy another property, your agency is one of only two with which I am registered in the Chichester area which has contacted me prior to properties being released onto the market to check if I was interested.

      You also understood what I was looking for immediately and didn't send me details of properties which I would be unlikely to deem suitable.I will definitely be recommending you as an agent if anyone local should ask.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Dear All,Thank you so much for the incredible job you have all participated in. From the moment David came to value the house back in January I was filled with confidence in your ability, you delivered an amazing service all round.Keeping me calm, totally informed throughout the process and always there with advice.Karen your work ethic is admirable and so professional and also allowing you and I to have some laughs along the way! I literally felt you were holding my hand since the offer on 15th of March, I could not have hoped for a better service. I'm going to miss our calls and the anticipation of will it won't it happen! But you filled me with confidence every time I wavered and true to your word we got there.David your calm attitude is key, Michael you were always there with advice, I remember the electric certificate, the subsidence, and the radon gas issues although as you quickly advised there were no issues just standard practice for enquiries. This was a massive step for me to do on my own and without you all I doubt I could have gotten through.Sims Williams you are just the best.My heartfelt thanks to you all, and as I love a bit of stress I am off next week to exchange and complete on my other house up north! Kindest regards.Sandra M.

Linda & Alastair.
    • Buyer Testimonial

      I want to express my sincere thanks to all of the Sims Williams team. My experiences with Sims Williams during the purchasing process of my property have been exemplary, you've really worked in the very best interests of all parties and provided solid reassurance to me as a first time buyer of the processes involved, shaken the cage (when needed), chased for info and been so helpful in pushing the process forward. I'm thrilled to me moving to the area and have my first home in Chichester. My continued thanks for everything you both and the team have done in pushing forwards. AB.
    • Buyer Testimonial

      As purchasers, Sims Williams and in particular Michael Alder provided us with an excellent and professional service during what was a continuous rollercoaster ride throughout a very long, frustrating and protracted negotiation. Without Mikes's continual chasing, communicating and following up on both sides of the chain the whole process may well have still been dragging on. We would therefore not hesitate in recommending Sims Williams services.
