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

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.

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

We have just bought our new home in Hanover - all thanks to the amazing team at Wheelers. Joe and Alison were incredibly helpful, understanding, honest and proactive throughout the whole process - we can't recommend them enough. Some other estate agents told us the market was too competitive for us to move to Brighton from out of town right now - but Wheelers made that dream possible! Thank you so much.

This is the 2nd property we've sold with Wheelers, we can't rate them highly enough, friendly, professional and caring. They really know the housing market and give you good and honest advice. You feel they will do the best for you and always there to help.

We sold our property through Wheelers. Alison and Joe are both fantastic to work with - they're authentic, honest, friendly and really on-the-ball too. The entire selling process was extremely smooth, and we felt that we were in safe hands throughout what can often be a stressful process. I'd award Wheelers six stars if I could. If you're looking to sell then look no further.
