Testimonials

At Equus we don't need to shout about our success, we let our customers speak for us

“Having received excellent service from Equus when I purchased my equestrian centre, in particular Alisdair Brown, there was only one choice of agent for me when I decided the time had come to sell the premises and business. Once again Equus provided a fantastic level of service which culminated in the sale to perfect buyers who are now firmly established at the property and whom I continue to remain friends with.”
AH Ashdown Forest, West Sussex
“I never realised until recently selling my property how important it is to have an experienced specialist agent working on your behalf if your home has land and equestrian facilities. From commencement of the advertising and marketing, to the negotiation of offers and then progression of the sale Karen Hall at Equus head office handled all matters on my behalf. I believe it was Karen’s knowledgeable and positive attitude when liaising with solicitors, applicants and vendors in our chain which kept the sale alive and I am so grateful for Equus’ hard work on our behalf.”
MT Woldingham, Surrey
“I always enjoy visiting my local ‘countryside outlet’ for a browse around and to collect food for my dogs and menagerie of other animals. At the same time I pick up a copy of Pegasus magazine which every month features several full page Equus advertisements of properties with land for sale. This is where I spotted my ‘dream home’ a small nursery & garden centre where I could indulge my horticultural interests. I was also really pleased that Equus were keen to sell my existing property which although only had 0.75 of an acre, Equus highlighted that a lot of their buyers just want a large plot (without equestrian facilities) for their growing number of children and animals.”
CJ Battle, East Sussex
“When my wife and I decided to downsize and sell our wonderful Grade II listed home with accompanying 14 acres we knew we would need to appoint a specialist agent who could offer a hands on approach to the sale. When we met Alisdair Brown from Equus we were immediately impressed with his knowledge and experience of selling properties in the niche country and equestrian marketplace. Indeed Equus were ‘head and shoulders’ above any other estate agent who came to visit us which is why we gave then sole agency. I cannot fault the proactive approach which was taken on our sale and the level of personal service my wife and I received from Alisdair and staff at Equus head office.”

“Before placing our house on the market with Equus we had been on the market for some time with another agent who had totally the wrong sort of people through the door including very disruptive open days which produced no offers either. Equus took my property on and represented the property highlighting all the features of my listed property in a clear and precise manner and gave it a high profile of advertising in,which then started to produce good quality viewings and resulted in a sale very quickly. We were most impressed with the level of service and attention to detail that Celia Ransley their Associate Partner demonstrated throughout the sale of our property.”
LP Canterbury, Kent
“I thought it unlikely we would secure a quick sale for our ‘quirky’ detached 40 acre property. As a family we had enjoyed living there for many years but knew the house, gardens and land needed a make¬over! However I was amazed when I saw the finished Equus brochure featuring a clever mix of elevated photographs along with an inspired write up. The whole seemed to have come to life! Even better a genuine cash buyer came forward who wasn’t equestrian but loved the location and wanted to get his teeth into a ‘project’ and remodel the dwelling to his own designs. I think Equus did a fantastic job at capturing the ‘country lifestyle qualities’ of the whole. Very well done ‘The Team’.”
BK Mayfield, East Sussex
“Having decided that we wanted to upsize from our charming semi-detached cottage in 2 acres, Equus were our first choice of agent to go to as they are known to be the leading south east specialists in this niche property sector. Not only did we sell through Equus but we also bought our next property from Equus – a glorious detached period home with extensive acreage. We just wouldn’t go anywhere else and our thanks go to the team for their dedicated hard work on both our sale and purchase.”
TP Sutton Valence, Kent
“Before placing our cottage for sale with Equus we had been on the market with two other ‘so-called’ equestrian agents and experienced a dismal uninspired service from them – as soon as Equus took over they secured a buyer within a very short period and provided a fantastic level of advertising featuring our property in Horse and Hound magazine, Pegasus and Local Rider, as well as the local property news-papers and all the main property websites. Equus are truly ‘The experts’ when it comes to selling a property with land.”
AG Midhurst, West Sussex
“Buying an equestrian centre with an existing business is a big undertaking and I cannot thank Equus enough, in particular Karen Hall, for the help and advice we received throughout the sale transaction. Without such guidance we would not have known how to move forward on the purchase. Happily we are now firmly established at the property and enjoying bringing our business plans together.”
CF Guildford, Surrey
“For some time I had been seeking a suitable property with land for both my growing family and my ‘Birds of Prey’ which I do flying demonstrations at country shows and events. I wasn’t very confident that I would be successful as I needed a quiet private location with a small amount of land and outbuildings for my business. Equus were the only agent to proactively try to match my requirements and I am pleased to say that thanks to their efforts - myself, family and birds are now settled in our new ‘nest’.”
LH Faversham, Kent
“Selling our uniquely located detached bungalow was always going to be a bit of a challenge being located in the middle of a residential housing estate with our land and stables to the rear we certainly weren’t rural. We were pleasantly surprised though at how enthusiastic Equus were about the property and when we saw the excellent write up done by Karen Hall and the excellent photographs prepared for the brochure we were very impressed. Even more so when we had flood of viewings resulting in a quick sale to a delightful couple with young children who liked the idea of having the security of nearby neighbours as well as the benefit of lots of space to run wild.”
JJR Pulborough, West Sussex
“We couldn’t have asked for more from Equus on the sale of my parent’s property. We had been on the market with another local agent and were making no progress with the sale. Celia Ransley was exceptionally knowledgeable about the local market took the property on and used Equus’ comprehensive database and bespoke marketing service to search for a buyer. Once the sale was agreed it was progressed through to completion by Celia who contacted all relevant parties. We were really impressed from listing of the property through to closing the sale as she kept us well informed throughout.”
DW Postling, Ashford, Kent
“I had been recommended to Equus by friends who similarly owned properties with land as I needed to organise the sale of my elderly parents property and wanted to ensure that the agent could provide a specialised and bespoke personal service as I work abroad a lot and needed a safe pair of hands to look after the sale. I cannot recommend Equus enough I found them a great team to deal with – it was like getting your friends to help sell your property.”
PG Sanderstead, Surrey
“My husband and I wanted advice about dividing up our property with land and outbuildings as we were keen to sell off separately a dilapidated barn on part of the plot for residential conversion. We met with several traditional estate agents but were most impressed with Equus who were the only company who appeared to offer a bespoke service for a more complex type of sale. Not only did Equus achieve a very satisfactory price but Alisdair Brown arranged for some excellent artist impressions to be prepared showing the barn as a finished conversion which undoubtedly added to the appeal of the development.”
