Simon Cox has been of tremendous help in the process of selling my mother's house in Ovingdean. Highly professional, hands-on and friendly service far beyond just finding a buyer. For example, he helped with finding a removal company for moving household abroad, a clearance service and various other support we needed throughout the process. I highly recommend John Hiltons and specifically Simon Cox. Thank you for your excellent service!... Read more

We worked with several estate agents before, but Alex Wilson at John Hilton really stood out. He consistently went above and beyond, liaising with solicitors and keeping in daily contact. Without his extra effort, we truly might not have reached the exchange stage. His boss Marius was also fantastic in the whole process of selling our property, always providing same day feedback on viewings. Prior to John Hilton we had used other estate agencies to try to sell our old property and purchase our new one, including Brand Vaughn, Leaders, Cubitt & West and Fox & Sons, who I have to say were all substandard in comparison. John Hilton truly was a cut above the rest. Plus Alex Wilson as mentionned previously, really is outstanding at his job, thorough, meticulous, personable, a great negotiator and incredibly dedicated and hard working. Thankyou John Hilton, Alex and Marius.... Read more

We bought our home through Tom Hilton Estate Agents and so we weren't even the clients.... BUT.. Simon Cox was so helpful when there were all sorts of difficulties occurred - the sort that can arise when selling and buying a home. Simon was nothing other than professional and helpful, and especially when there were some urgent things that needed doing or chasing up. We know where to go when we might move on in the future....

Simon Cox of John Hilton's worked really hard to find me a buyer for my house in Rottingdean and his perseverance and expertise paid off in the end. I cannot thank Simon enough for his help which went way beyond what I could expect, finding me a clearance company and deep-clean company once the house was more or less empty and being present when I couldn't get there, having moved away before the sale finally went through. Thank you, Simon, you supported me through what was a very stressful period and I am extremely grateful. All this when you had suffered a family bereavement yourself. You were always so patient and encouraging. Alex played his part in the sale too, showing countless people round. I had previously been listed with two other agents in the village with no outcome and Hilton's took on my sale when I was becoming very anxious about it all. Their physical presence on the High Street in Rottingdean and their professionalism are a great local asset.... Read more

What a pleasure!
We had to sell our mum's property for her to go in a care home. The experience could have been horrendous. Luckily we had Alex to help us though the whole thing. He couldn't have been more helpful. He, and the estate agent team, informed us of viewing times and who was attending. We also got responses on the outcome of the viewings. Alex kept us up to date with everything that was happening.

I dealt with the Rottingdean office for the sale of my 2-bedroom flat which has now exchanged. The staff in this office are easy to deal with, return calls, and follow up emails.
In a difficult market, it took a few months to find a good quality buyer at an acceptable price, but Alex secured the sale and kept me up to date along the way. I dealt with Alex throughout, which provides the continuity that I value.
I would happily recommend.... Read more

We recently sold our property through John Hilton’s in Rottingdean and can’t praise the team highly enough.
The sale from start to finish was predominantly managed by Alex Wilson, with the support of the wider team.
Our ongoing purchase was complex, with a relocation to the South West included. Alex took a lot of the strain away the situation, managing expectations and resolution of issues with our sale, allowing us to focus on our purchase, new schools, etc.
You sense there is in-depth experience and knowledge, which naturally brings trust in their guidance throughout the journey.
I’ve sold properties in the past where once a buyer is identified the agent sits back and it’s down to the seller and solicitor to get it across the line. Alex however was in constant communication with all parties and applied the right amount of pressure when required to ensure not only the chain completed, but also kept all involved informed, which in turn reduced stress.
To summarise, a highly professional outfit, made up of a team of warm, calm and skilled individuals who seriously know their stuff.... Read more

I completely agree with all the previous comments. Over the past year we have both sold and purchased through Hiltons. There have been many hiccups along the way, but throughout Simon Cox has been an excellent communicator with expertise, very helpful advice above and beyond, local knowledge, and endless smiling patience! The rest of the office staff Alex and Gaynor also always cheerful and extremely helpful. Thank you all!... Read more

The most thoughtful and sensitive estate agents I have ever had the pleasure to work with!
John Hilton took on my mother’s house to sell after her passing away and every step they were kind patient and thoughtful. Alex in particular took time to go over and beyond with his care toward us all as a family. They are not like the traditional high street estate agents but instead are gentle calm and very very fair in every thing they do. I cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you to you all.. the dream team ????????... Read more

We went with John Hilton for both our sale and purchase and everything has been great from start to finish.
Our contact was Simon throughout the process.
For our sale, the photo shoot for the website was arranged within 2 days, and the listing was live before we knew it. We were lucky, the first viewer became our buyer, so the whole process took about 8 weeks to complete. Simon was in constant communication with all parties and never lost his cool even when things got a bit complicated. He made sure we all made it to completion before being hit by stamp duty increase.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts, Simon!... Read more

I hate estate agents as a rule but I have to say John Hilton have been the best. Alex Wilson was the greatest support throughout the who long winded tortuous experience, offering support, knowlege and encouragement the whole way through.

My experience with the people of John Hilton in Rottingdean has only been a positive one. Alex Wilson was especially helpful and very supportive when things didn’t go as planned. He kept us informed at every opportunity and even on his days off. Once, he even contacted me when he was on holiday. He, and his colleagues have had a very hard job with our property chain, twice it looked like it had fallen apart but they persevered and we got there in the end. I don’t normally have many good things to say about estate agents, but this group has surpassed my expectations.
Thank you all for your hard work and your patience with this chain. I totally recommend these guys.... Read more
