Mystery surrounds the sudden closure of a lettings business.
Dukes Letting Department, in Eastbourne, has a statement on its website saying that it will no longer be operating a letting and management service.
It says: “We are formally closing the company and each client and tenant will be contacted individually to process each tenancy.”
The local paper, the Eastbourne Herald, claims it has been contacted by a number of concerned landlords and tenants.
Director Michael Duke said: “It’s very regrettable that I have been forced to close an established and proud business, since 2003, and we are taking advice on how to find an amicable solution for all parties involved.”
