The whole team at Stride &Son Chichester were absolutely first class. We were buying and were shown properties in a very professional way - viewing appointments were easily and quickly fixed for us. Once our offer on a property was accepted Richard seemed to be the only person in the county who knew what was going on.
His diligence in keeping tabs on everything was so good - giving us regular and carefully considered reports on progress.
I cannot recommend this team too highly - their professionalism helped effect a quick sale and kept us sane. They work very well together and were always effortlessly helpful, charming and knowledgeable. We always felt centre stage in their considerations and were very well looked after.... Read more

As the buyer, I recognise Stride & Son is obliged to act for their primary client, the seller. This they did according to expectation, whilst providing a dynamic conduit for communication between buyer and seller. Our transaction was not altogether simple, but Tom Prower and his staff acted to the best of their ability to achieve a successful close. I would recommend Stride & Son to sellers of country homes.... Read more

We have sold 2 properties through Stride which belonged to my late parents in law. To say the sales were challenging doesn’t adequately reflect the scale of the complications which came at every turn. Throughout the entire 2 year process Tom has been unflappable, professional and unfailingly courteous to all the parties involved. He has had good relations with all the solicitors and chased when needed and he always provided good advice, bringing solutions to every set back.
Indeed, every person at Stride HQ has been willing to go the extra mile to get these properties sold so we can move on with our lives.
The auction department were also wonderful, helpful and efficient. Peter was a joy to deal with.
I can’t recommend them highly enough.... Read more

After realising the mortgage on our house in West Sussex was due to increase by £1,100 a month come August, we decided in the previous January 2023 that we should try to sell and move to Scotland.
Due to the differences in systems for buying houses in Scotland, we needed to be swift in getting our house on the market and securing a sale. In strides Stride and Son to make all our non-bankruptcy dreams come true!
We called to arrange a viewing, explained the situation and they got to work immediately. Nick (who we knew from a previous valuation) returned to our property and gave us intelligent, meaningful advice and a fair valuation for the situation (i.e. quick sale), and the rest of the staff got to work arranging photos, EPC, advert....everything in super quick time.
Our house was on the market straight away, and the viewings came flooding in, all handled beautifully by Tricia, Nick and Jeanne.
Other shining stars in the process were Tom, Susie, Gillian and Richard. Always ready to answer the phone with a smile, some friendly banter and most importantly: action and responses!
The sale was quite complicated due to the nature of the property, but all the staff at Stride went the extra mile to help things to go as smoothly as possible. Their knowledge, advice, tenacity and general all-round loveliness really helped with the stress of moving. I spoke to the buyers of our house, and they said Stride were brilliant to deal with from a purchasers standpoint also.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell a house in the Chichester area. They've got about a million years of experience between them, and if you listen to their advice you will not be disappointed!... Read more

We have recently used two local firms of estate agents, and this has really emphasised for us how important it is to choose a good one.
I cannot recommend Stride and Sons highly enough. We had a fairly complicated sale as we had to work to a very specific timetable, at a time when the housing market was becoming uncertain. Throughout the process the team at Strides were able to offer us advice that turned out to be excellent. They were incredibly responsive, their communication was swift, and they were very patient. They definitely went the extra mile, not just with their checking of details, but also with the way in which they maintained close contact with our eventual buyer and at least two sets of solicitors.
What also impressed us was the personal touch. One member of Stride's team was our main point of contact, and we were able to build a trusting relationship with her over several months. However, there was a sense of a team working together, and when our main contact was not available there was always somebody else to talk to who seemed to know what was going on. You also got a sense that this was a local family firm that really knew the local conditions.
We will recommend this firm to friends and family, and will definitely use them again should we decide to move again.... Read more

Stride and Sons were amazingly efficient and effective when trying to sell my mother's small rural cottage. The property was a difficult mix of a relatively unmodernised terraced property along with a large and well maintained garden that was 100+ metres behind the cottage. Strides seem to excel at selling these more "quirky" properties and they gave us excellent advice and guidance.... Read more

I write to commend Stride & Sons for their fast & professional service following my successful purchase of a Georgian compass in their auction finishing on Friday 7th October. Their invoice for the item was sent via email the next day but on receipt there was no provision for its postage cost so I rang their office & spoke to a female member of staff. She promised that I would receive an amended invoice before she finished for the day. It duly arrived mid afternoon so I was able to make payment the same day.
On the Monday I received a further text advising that the item would be posted on Tuesday via Royal Mail Special Delivery & it was duly received the next day. Receipt of an auction item within 3 days of payment is amazing! Over the last 6 years I have bought from over 40 different auctioneers & have never received a lot so quickly & on several occasions have had to wait up to a fortnight or more for delivery. It has been great to deal with such a professional auction house! Highly Recommended!
Many Thanks!... Read more

Forgetting for a moment what lot I purchased from Stride & Son. I bought it some weeks ago and collected it on 13/09/22. The auction house didn’t open until 09:00 hrs. I had travelled for over 4 hours and arrived about 08:35 hrs.
I could see there was activity inside and I enquired with a young man if it was possible to pick my lot up. He couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating even though they weren’t officially open and he was busy with other matters. May seem small but customer service is always important and what I remember most!
The lot I bought was excellent as well!... Read more

I bid for a lot (267) in Stride’s on 27 Jul 2022. I clicked on at £30 and the lot went to "sold". I called to pay for the lot to be told that my bid was unsuccessful and it was sold to a room bidder at £30. When I clicked at £30 there was no indication that there was a conflicting bid and no opportunity to put in a higher bid. I assumed therefore that I was the buyer. This raises the question; why was the lot sold to a room bidder with the same bid and why was there no opportunity to put in a higher bid?
Please be aware that if you make an online bid with this auctioneer you many not necessarily be successful.... Read more

Great, friendly service from everyone at the saleroom.

All this when they were obviously incredibly busy. Thank you!... Read more
