Knights Estate Agents - Sales and Lettings in West Sussex & Surrey

Knights Estate Agents was founded in 2010 with the vision of providing a personalised service with unrivalled expertise to sellers and landlords on a cost-effective basis and a strong belief in partnership.

Mark Halsey

Director

Having worked for an independent estate agent for 12 years (including six years at director level), I decided to set up Knights Estate Agents in 2010 because I felt that the rigid framework of a large company was not conducive to providing a professional and personal service and would also compromise my personal integrity. I observed that the layers of departments (especially in lettings; negotiators, managers, property management, accounts etc) would only serve to frustrate and sometimes baffle the client.

Read more about Mark

I began my career working for an independent property company in 1997 and over the years have been fortunate enough to build many good working relationships with corporate clients and relocation companies, which I still maintain today.

I strongly believed that with hard work and dedication that I could build a better business based on honesty, transparency, partnership and trust. It’s been a great joy to see Knights grow over the past few years, I’m very passionate about what we do and I always will be.

At Knights Estate Agents we don’t cling to ‘Sales Gimmicks’ to try and get higher fees nor do we ask our clients to sign a restrictive sole agency contract (a unilateral agreement that only favours the agent and not the seller). We pride ourselves on having a straight-talking approach and our policy, when selling a property, is simple; if any of our clients are unhappy or feel they could be better off elsewhere, they are free to leave us, at any time, without penalty. So, we have to be as good as we say we are and ultimately produce results.

We offer competitive fee packages for both sellers and landlords and guarantee the personal attention of the directors (myself and Ross) which ensures a quality service and smooth communication plus a level of personal care and attention, which we believe is vital for today’s sellers and landlords. For more information on choosing a letting agent please see our ‘Landlords’ section on the homepage.

Ross Gardner

I’m an experienced, passionate property expert and business leader with the benefit of over 14 years experience in all aspects of Estate Agency. I began my career working for an independent agency covering Surrey & Sussex and over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to have gained an insight into all levels & facets of the housing market having sold and let all types of property from Studio apartments, through to Country Estates. I have built many strong relationships with clients and have worked with some well known corporate & celebrity clients over the years.
