From viewings to completion dealing with Maslens has been amazing. Donna was incredible, nothing was too much trouble, in what can be a very stressful process she’s been incredible, calm, professional and her response times to queries are amazing. Thanks again

Very disappointing experience. My tenancy agreement was illegally cancelled due to poor management on their part and failure to ensure the property was actually being vacated in time for my tenancy and as a result I’ve had to scramble last minute to find suitable accommodation. No compensation was offered and I honestly would not recommend them.

Selling our house turned into a long affair but Maslen made it happen. All the Staff were very professional and we were provided with excellent customer service throughout; Sam deserves special mention. Once we had received an offer we could accept, Donna went way beyond what we could have expected. Our purchase was a private transaction so our seller wasn't using an Estate Agent. Donna effectively covered that base as well and we believe, by keeping things moving with both firms of solicitors, she enabled us to buy the flat of our dreams! We are so thankful and would firmly recommend Maslen!

As a first-time buyer, the whole process felt quite daunting at times, but Donna was fantastic throughout. She was always lovely, helpful, and kept me regularly updated on where we were in the process and what was still outstanding. She took the time to talk me through everything clearly and was always happy to answer my questions. Her support and communication made the experience so much smoother and less stressful. I’d highly recommend her and Maslens to anyone buying a property.

Maslens provided an excellent service from listing the flat for sale through to completion. The whole team is very professional and provided great support and advice throughout the process. We would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Working with Maslen was an absolute dream. I had found property buying/selling confusing, frightening and stressful in the past, and the processes and professions around it quite opaque and dehumanising. The staff at Maslen explained everything super clearly, with no jargon. Everyone I worked with there was friendly and approachable, and had a strong sense of the current situation and how that impacted me. They constantly advocated for me, and were very proactive, meaning that I felt buffered against any stressful parts of the process. They helped me navigate the more difficult moments immediately they arose, and in ways that were in my best interests and aligned with my values, even when that wasn’t necessarily the standard way to proceed and didn’t bring them any additional income. I highly recommend Maslen to anyone wanting super friendly active support throughout the buying/selling process.

We contacted Paul last Summer to carry out a valuation on the property, along with other agencies. Having bought our house in BN1 nearly 5 years ago through Maslen, we were keen to sell through them. When we decided to put the house on sale, the whole team were prompt to get great images and list the advert when we instructed. 4 viewings followed within a couple of days and the sale was wrapped up in 6 days, from having the initial images taken. Not only was the pre-sale process seamless but the post-sale communications through Donna were (again) absolutely brilliant - she carefully worked through some post survey actions with our buyer and coordinated a completion date efficiently. If you're looking to sell in the Brighton area, Maslen are the clear agent of choice for professionalism, local knowledge, customer satisfaction and achieving asking price. We'd have no hesitation in recommending them and will no doubt use their services again if we move in the future.
