From exceptional property sales and standout new listings to remarkable community efforts and exciting commercial ventures it’s safe to say we’ve hit the ground running this year!

Supporting Our Local Community

At James & James, giving back to our local community isn’t just part of our ethos, it’s part of our everyday operations. In the first half of this year alone, we’ve proudly sponsored and supported numerous local events and initiatives, helping to raise tens of thousands of pounds for a wide range of brilliant causes. From school fundraisers and grassroots sports teams to community festivals and charity drives, we've had the privilege of standing alongside some truly inspiring organisations. Whether we’re setting up stalls, running raffles, or simply offering support and visibility, being an active part of the Worthing community is at the heart of everything we do.

Standout Property Successes

We’ve also had a fantastic run of standout sales and instructions this year. Our sales team has been working tirelessly to match buyers with their dream homes, and the results speak for themselves. One of our highlights includes securing multiple above-asking-price offers on a stunning period property in Offington – a testament to our local knowledge, professional marketing, and the power of personal service. Another notable success was a sleek seafront apartment in West Worthing, sold within days of hitting the market thanks to our proactive database work and polished presentation.

We’ve also seen some incredibly exciting new instructions come in, including a collection of bespoke new-build homes in Goring, and a unique coastal cottage in Ferring, both of which have attracted widespread attention from out-of-area buyers looking to relocate to our beautiful coastline.

Lettings and Commercial Growth

Our lettings department continues to thrive, with premium rental properties being snapped up almost as quickly as they’re listed. One standout was a high-spec penthouse in Worthing’s town centre – let within 48 hours to a professional tenant relocating from London.

Meanwhile, James & James Commercial has made real progress in its mission to provide expert advice and service in the commercial sector. We’ve listed several high-profile retail units, light industrial spaces, and unique investment opportunities across West Sussex – and there’s more in the pipeline for the second half of the year.

Independent, Personal, and Nationally Recognised

Despite our continued growth, we remain proudly independent. Every single one of our clients, whether buying, selling, renting, or investing receives a truly personal, 1-to-1 service that you simply won’t find with larger, corporate agents. We’re big enough to deliver national exposure for our properties, but small enough to truly care about every detail. Our reputation for excellence hasn’t gone unnoticed. With national award shortlists, referrals from fellow agents across the country, and glowing five-star reviews, we’re as proud of our brand as ever and determined to keep delivering exceptional results.

Looking Ahead

The second half of 2025 is shaping up to be just as exciting. We’re continuing to grow our commercial offering, have some fantastic new listings on the horizon, and are looking forward to more community partnerships and local events.

While house prices have adjusted slightly, this shift is creating fresh opportunities for buyers and investors alike. In a market that’s evolving, it’s never been more valuable to work with an estate agency where the managing directors are at the coalface. At James & James, we're hands-on, proactive, and always available to help you navigate current market conditions with clarity and confidence.

Whether you're thinking of moving, investing, or simply curious about your property's value we’re here and ready to assist.

A big thank you to all our clients, colleagues, and community supporters who have helped make the first half of the year such a success. We’re excited for what the next six months will bring!
