Introduction to our services
Thank you for finding us! If you like to do your research you may be interested to read that Bishop Sullivan has a high Google rating compared to the industry average, we are one of only a handful of local letting specialists and one of even fewer who provide an all-inclusive monthly fee. Not to mention our bespoke professional HMO letting agent service (ProShare).
Our Landlord clients appreciate the high quality of Tenant we are able to provide by following a thorough process from the initial point of contact, during the viewing(s) through to in-depth referencing. This ensures we find the best possible Tenant for each client’s needs both in terms of affordability as well as behaviour during a Tenancy for letting agents in Brighton and letting agents in Hove. We understand that the best type of Tenancy is one where Landlord, Tenant and Agent work together.
Please see below our comparison chart detailing what is included in each service fee. There is a link below the chart taking you to our fees page as well as a contact button should you wish to get in touch. We are happy to help whatever the query:
