Open House launches high street office

Open House, a hybrid estate agent based in Brighton, has opened its first high street office in Peacehaven, East Sussex.

The company, which launched as an online-only agency five years ago, says that it has stepped out of the virtual world and onto the high street to meet growing demand.

Co-founder of the firm Neil Standing said: “Demand from both buyers and sellers is strong and we’re seeing properties sell faster and close to or above asking price.

“Given the challenging world we’re living in, it’s great to see our industry thriving and we felt the time was right to make the local investment in Peacehaven with our new office serving Brighton, Saltdean, Peacehaven and Newhaven.”

The opening of the new office has been welcomed by Peacehaven Town Council.

The council commented: “Peacehaven Town Council’s priority is supporting the local community. This new venture will enhance the interaction that Open House is offering their clients.

We continue to support our local businesses during these unpredictable times and wish Neil & Stuart the very best of luck with this enhanced service.”
