I cannot rate the service I received from Wheelers highly enough. They are professional, friendly & genuine. The sale of the tenanted property was difficult at times but their experience & diplomacy shone through. I was kept updated at all times & had total confidence in them. They also recommended a solicitor who was totally on the ball & needed no chasing! I would not hesitate in recommending this independent estate agency for the personal service they offer.

A really positive experience! I can't thank Joe & Alison enough for helping us through a really tough time. I lost my brother during the pandemic, he lived in an area miles away from us and we were at a loose end. Calling Wheelers was honestly the luckiest thing that happened to me! I've sold plenty of properties in the past and with probate I had to get at least three quotes. I'm so glad that Wheelers were one of the four that I called.
It was emotional enough making the trip down to arrange my brothers affairs and clear his property without all the upselling, unemotional service you get from the so called 'big guns!' From the moment Joe walked in, he gave me honest, experienced advice, exactly what I'd been hoping for from the start, he really knows his stuff and this continued from the team throughout! I really cannot recommend them enough, they overcame all the hurdles and kept us in the loop throughout, which made the process so much easier for us. It's a massive thumbs up from us, thank you once again!

I first met Joe when I came down to Brighton to buy our first ever home. Joe was so friendly that I wondered what was wrong with him! Coming from London where a friendly smile is often a sign that someone wants something from you, I wasn't prepared! Joe was so reassuring about the area (and what a wonderful area Hanover is), the schools, the park and crucially, the amazing pubs, that when we came to selling our house a few years later I didn't hesitate getting back in touch with him. Selling our house wasn't a doddle, but Joe, Alison and Ronny go the extra mile.
They make you feel like you're part of a family. I think the best story I can tell about Joe, is that whenever he talks about his many reviews, he always gets hung on on the single negative review someone wrote! Frankly, a sea of negative reviews couldn't have persuaded me to choose another agent. So yeah, choose Wheelers. You'll be in safe, reliable and genuine company.

Joe and Alison from Wheelers were incredibly helpful through the process of helping me find and purchase my first home, and despite a few delays (none of which were because of Wheelers) they made sure to always stay in contact and keep myself and my family updated on everything going on. Upon receiving my keys I was also given a little welcome home goodie gift box which really meant the world to me.
I cannot recommend Wheelers Estate Agents highly enough and would urge anyone buying of selling to seek their support as I will absolutely be doing if I ever need to buy/sell again. Even after the completion Joe has reached out to make sure all is well and make sure I'm getting well settled, which has also been lovely and so appreciated. Would easily give more than 5 stars if possible :)

Joe and Alison made the purchase of our house so transparent and easy. Always a call or email away, they definitely earned their 5 stars. I'd certainly recommend them to friends who are looking to buy in the area.
