Area information

Chichester is the only city in West Sussex and is one of the most desirable places to live in England. Property styles range from modern city apartments and quaint terraced cottages to imposing four-storey townhouses and sprawling country estates.

With average house prices in Chichester almost double the national average, city centre living comes at a price. However, the outskirts of the city and surrounding villages offer more affordable options in the beautiful setting of the South Downs and along the stunning coastline.

Affordable village living near Chichester

Within easy reach of Chichester are many popular villages such as Singleton, East Dean, Charlton, Lavant, East Marden, Compton, Walderton and Chilgrove nestling in the Downs to the north, with East and West Ashling, Funtington, Fishbourne and Hambrook to the west and Tangmere, Oving and Boxgrove to the east.

Surrounding Chichester Harbour are several sailing and seaside towns and villages including Bosham, East and West Wittering, Sidlesham, Bracklesham Bay, Selsey and Bognor Regis.

Chichester is a great place for families, with lots to do and excellent performing schools and the prestigious University of Chichester.

What our clients say

EXCELLENT SERVICE

Highly recommend the team at the Walberton Office for all of their help in the selling of my property during the difficult times we are currently experiencing. I have been kept informed on a timely basis at all stages during the process and the whole experience has been professionally managed and stress free.
Steve W - Vendor - Sep 8th, 2020

Excellent service

I have bought and sold a number of properties through the lovely ladies at SW, Arundel. They are always professional and reliable but with a personal touch, which is most appreciated at what can be a very stressful time. The ladies are always just a phone call away if reassurance is needed at any time and they work very closely with a client's solicitor, cutting out the need to be constantly chasing every stage of the transactions. I highly recommend SW. I think and want this is going to be my 'forever' home but they've heard that one before so no doubt I will be in touch in due course but maybe just to say hello!
Vendor & Buyer - 29.11.2022 - Nov 29th, 2022

Andy Peppler - Vendor - Jul 5th, 2021

Positive, Professional, Quality, Responsive

Professional at all times. Patient and delivered the sale just within the cut-off for stamp duty holiday, with very difficult vendors. 10/10
Buyer - Jul 21st, 2021

Buying our first home

Sims Williams from the get go was fantastic in communicating with us and the vendors! We got updates very regularly and was always kept in the loop. They kept chasing the vendors solicitors to make sure the paperwork went through as quick as possible! I was also impressed with their sneak peak advertisement they do on their Facebook page! (Which is how I found the house before it even went up on Rightmove) which allowed me to be one of the first viewings of the house. The team are very polite and made me feel very comfortable talking to them face to face or over the phone! 10/10 service!
Harry & Georgia- Buyer - Jul 15th, 2022

Stress Free and easy to deal with

I found a property online and viewed the same day and the following day. Nothing was to much trouble, very accommodating around viewing times. The application process was straight forward and made the moving process very stress free. Would highly recommend Sims Williams and Jo, very easy to deal with.
Darren, Tenant - Oct 20th, 2021

Wonderful experience. Such a great team

Thank you all so much. It’s been an absolute pleasure dealing with the Sims Williams team. Very responsive and well organised
Matt - Vendor - Jun 17th, 2021

BRILLIANT SERVICE

From the moment we first called we knew they were a professional outfit. Towards the end of the move the service was still first class and the after care was there too. Can’t fault anyone who works there! Thanks again.
