Review of Henry Adams


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

DO NOT GO NEAR this firm

DO NOT GO NEAR this firm. (Horsham estate agents) They are fraudsters. They forced a quick sale for my parents in October, and encouraged them to use Talbot Law solicitors and it was all illegal. The property brochure advertised a finished and luxury ‘smart’ barn. There was no mains water to this luxury complex, the sewage was blocked and still no legal drainage, there was no outdoor lights, no internet connection, no outdoor water and a horrendously big list of issues inside the property. There is still no mains water and a temporary tank was set up, now after months of using it to be told it’s not safe to drink. This was all bad enough and they knew about these endless problems but knowingly sold next door with all the same and more issues without telling the new owners. The property owner has gone AWOL and there’s a £35k bill to have mains water connected. HENRY ADAMS and specifically Gemma in the Horsham estate agents knew this.

The original glossy brochure Henry Adams had produced stated a finished luxury Barn. I’ve gone to the trouble of rewording what should be in their brochure …

**Revised Property Description:**

This Grade II listed barn retains its historic charm and architectural significance, offering a unique opportunity for restoration or bespoke development. While the conversion showcases elements of traditional craftsmanship, prospective buyers should be aware that the property currently lacks essential modern infrastructure. There is no mains water supply, no internet connectivity, and no viable access for telecom providers. The site also has no outdoor water taps, no functioning drainage system, and suffers from blocked sewage. Guttering is faulty, and further issues may be present. Buyers are advised to conduct thorough due diligence to assess the scope of remedial work required. As incompetent estate agents we have no idea what we’re selling and quite frankly couldn’t care less as long as we’ve got your money. We like to think our selling service is like booking a five star luxury spa retreat and ending up in paddling pool on the M1 hard shoulder.
