However using sawyer and co and specifically John white (plus Bob Beaken ) helped to cushion the experience. The level of professionalism and enthusiasm went above and beyond. John kept me in the loop without being too pushy. I would definitely use this agency again and absolutely recommend them to everyone.

Jemma was highly professional and efficient. Her communication was excellent, informing us of viewings and giving feedback. Her advice was valuable as we live overseas and lacked information about of the local market. Jemma constantly reviewed the market and provided suggestions as to how we should move forward to obtain a tenant. Joe Newman was also efficient in communication regrading the tenancy agreement. We are very pleased with the outcome.

Comments on Agent Fees
Shanade was an angel, Sawyers seemed only interested in the fee and kept me in the dark.
Caroline Gration said about Sawyer & Co Estate Agents and Letting Agents
Services : Sales( As a Vendor )Date: 8th Dec 2017
My sale was lengthy and covered various members of staff before Shanade McLennan. I chose Sawyers because I wanted an honest, no frills evaluation and I related well with Laura, my original agent. Laura left in early spring and during the transition between permanent members of staff covering my sale I felt unrepresented and without connection and found replacement staff rude and disinterested. There was no permanent face within the office, with staff coming and going. everything I didn't want from an estate agent. I wished I had chosen to go with Fox and Sons. However, despite a sale falling through (both my solicitor and myself knowing of this before Sawyers) Shanade took over my sale from late Spring/ early summer and I felt after 4 months, I had someone focussed on my sale. Despite Shanade's personal health conditions and issues, she absolutely rallied behind my sale and kept me abreast of any subsequent problems with the buyer, their solicitors and hold ups. Although the sale of nearly 10 months has left me exhausted with no appetite to enter the housing market for the next 12 months I would salute Shanade for working so hard on my behalf and I would like to offer her my personal thanks and gratitude.

It is quite clear that her knowledge and experience in the Brighton housing market are second to none and that we were lucky to receive a very special service. Genuinely a fantastic and helpful team to deal with, especially for first time buyers like ourselves. I'd feel safe in the hands of Shanade and Jemma moving forward with any future sales/purchases.

Client Money Protection - Sawyer & Co are part of a client money protection scheme. Our Client Money Protection (CMP) Scheme is a compensation scheme run by the National Federation of Property Professionals (NFoPP) which provides compensation to landlords, tenants and other clients should an agent misappropriate their rent, deposit or other client funds.
Independent Redress Provided by The Property Ombudsman - Sawyer & Co are part of The Property Ombudsman Scheme (TPOS). This scheme has been providing consumers and property agents with an alternative dispute resolution service since 1990.
The Ombudsman’s resolutions are designed to achieve a full and final settlement of the dispute and all claims made by either party. The Ombudsman can, where appropriate, make compensatory awards in individual cases up to a maximum of £25,000 for actual and quantifiable loss and/or for aggravation, distress and/or inconvenience caused by the actions of an agent.
Last Updated On 10/06/2019, 4:52 PM by 0
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
Complaints Procedure
Sawyer & Co - Formal Complaints Procedure
As a Sawyer & Co customer you expect a first class service from us and we aim to provide it. We have high standards, but if you believe we have made a mistake, please get in touch with us as soon as possible and we will do everything we can to put it right.
We are also subject to the rules of The Property Ombudsman. In general terms this gives Clients who are unable to resolve a complaint against us the right to have this reviewed by an independent body, the Ombudsman.
We hope that our complaints procedure will resolve any complaint without the need for you to contact The Property Ombudsman. Please note that the Ombudsman will not investigate your complaint before you have completed our complaints procedure and received a letter or email from us giving our final response.
This document shows the steps in our complaints procedure. At every stage we promise to listen, to do everything we can to resolve your problem and to make sure you\'re happy with the way we do it.
Our Complaints Procedure
If you have a problem relating to the service you have received, please discuss this at the earliest opportunity with one of our members of staff. Our aim is to deal with your problem sympathetically, fairly and quickly.
If you feel that the matter is not being resolved to your satisfaction, please ask to speak to the Manager of the department dealing with your enquiry. The Manager will try to resolve the matter on the day you raise your complaint, although whether this is possible will depend on the complexity of the complaint.
If the response by one of our Managers does not resolve the matter to your satisfaction, you can ask the Manager to refer the complaint to one of the Directors. It is better if you can do this in writing:
Portslade Office & Brighton Office:
Mr Adam Farrell
Sawyer & Co
113 St Georges Road
Brighton
BN2 1EA
Hove Office:
Mr Chris Sawyer
Sawyer & Co
52 Church Road
Hove
BN3 2FN
A letter of acknowledgement will be sent to you within 3 working days. It will also:
Set out our understanding of your complaint and state when we will be able to reply in greater detail.
You may also be asked for additional information if this is required to assist resolving the matter.
Your letter should state why you are still dissatisfied and what further action you wish Sawyer & Co to take to fully resolve your complaint. The Director will fully investigate your complaint as quickly as possible.
In all but exceptional cases, by the end of eight weeks following receipt of your complaint, Sawyer & Co will have given you its final response in writing.
If you are still not satisfied with the steps taken by Sawyer & Co, you can write to:
The Property Ombudsman Ltd, Milford House, 43-55 Milford Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2BP (Telephone: (01722) 333306 or e-mail: admin@tpos.co.uk).
The Property Ombudsman will consider your complaint, taking into account any points made by you and Sawyer & Co. The Ombudsman may, however, refuse to investigate a complaint when your issue refers to something that happened more than 12 months before you complained in writing to the Member Agency, or you referred your complaint to the Ombudsman more than six months after you received the Member Agency\'s final offer of settlement or answer.
The Ombudsman\'s Office may try to settle the dispute by agreement between you and Sawyer & Co. If this is unsuccessful, the Ombudsman will consider all the relevant factors and make a decision according to what he believes to be fair in all the circumstances.
The Ombudsman will send his decision to you and Sawyer & Co. You can accept or reject his decision. If you reject the Ombudsman\'s decision, it will lapse and you are free to do as you wish.
