We have been with Callaways for over 7 years and cant praise them highly enough. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they are quick and efficient at any problem you have. All the staff are on a first name basis which makes it more personal and always there to help or advise. Every aspect of Callaways is carried out to the highest of standards and with respect.

As a contractor specialising in Gardening, Ive had the pleasure of working with Callaways over the past year. Tenants are always informed of my arrival and I am given detailed works orders to complete the jobs I am asked to do. I highly recommend Callaways!

We have been using Callaways Lettings Service for many years and have received a consistantly good service from their dedicated staff. We have been particularly impressed with their knowledge and expertise of the lettings business and their ability to work closely with the Building Management Teams. This has resulted in good relations with Landlords and the speedy resolution of maintenance and tenant issues.
Callaways are equally professional in their management of home sales, something we are currently experiencing with them.

Thank you to Laura at Callaways for making the process of purchasing our new beach hut such a seamless experience! From our first viewing, to finalising our offer, providing all the necessary information and documentation, and helping with the paperwork, we couldnt have asked for more. We are over the moon with our new hut and looking forward to making memories

I came in touch with Callaways, via Rightmove. I was aware that finding a rental in Brighton is a tenuous process, but, Callaways was a gush of fresh air, as opposed to what I heard. I had interacted with James Duffy, whos a Branch Manager at Callaways, and was delighted to observe how smooth my transition with them was! Professional, diligent, transparent, always on-time, and quick to understand and process the requests!
For someone who recently moved, it was a great help. From the administrative side, Laura Simpson was friendly, welcoming, responsive, and understanding. Interacting with these two made the transition a whole lot easier.
Id recommend them to anyone without a doubt.

Callaways have served us for nearly 10 years. They helped us prepare a property for rent, fully managed the rental property and have just sold the property for us. Throughout that time we have found them to be professional, courteous and proactive. They provided advice when required and arranged everything that needed to be done. Our experience with all Callaways staff has been positive but for many years now most of our interactions have been with Jacqui on the lettings side and James on the sales.
Both seem so suited to their roles and are just the sort of people you want to look after or sell your property. We had no previous experience of letting agents but we know in Jacqui and Callaways, very good ones do exist. For the sale, James showed excellent communications. He was instrumental in keeping everyone talking, chasing progress and getting it done. Thank you all.

Ten years ago I bought a flat through Callaways. I found tenants through Callaways. I have just sold that flat with Callaways. Every step of the way they have been professional , given spot on advice & taken so much of the hassle out of it.
James Duffy has been excellent. I had a difficult sale due to freeholder issues & his knowledge & efficiency have made all the difference. I highly recommend this agent.

I have had a really great experience renting with Callaways; they are such a knowledgeable, supportive, kind, professional, courteous, personable, organised, and helpful team. I have felt very well looked after in terms of gas safety, electrical safety and fire safety; all certificates and reports are up to date; contractors are all very polite, friendly and professional. I have only ever had to report one repair and it was looked after really quickly and was totally stress-free. My flat is a happy, safe, good quality home that I enjoy living in.

I had personal dealings with James Duffy at Callaways who was a breath of fresh air in terms of my initial perception of Estate Agents generally.
James was personable, understanding and tenacious in his manner, whilst helping me with a difficult and complex tenancy issue. His advice and patience really helped me find a quick and sensible solution which other agents couldn't afford and I cannot thank him enough. It was evident from the beginning James had excellent knowledge and professionalism. I would highly recommend him along with his team to no end.

We have just sold out flat through callaways and cannot recommend them highly enough. Oliver was exceptional through what was an extremely difficult and complicated chain. His expertise and professional maturity guided us through what was an extremely stressful process: often going above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our young family's interests were met. Thank you so much to Oliver and the callaways team!
