We have been dealing with Rod Carmichael of Duke Letting Since 1991. In 1998 he took over the management of a block of 12 purpose built flats which, in our opinion, he has managed in a very efficient and professional manner. He has overseen improvements to the exterior of the property and dealt very promptly with any problems that have arisen. We have no hesitation in recommending him.

Born and brought up in Piltdown and Uckfield, Rod gathered useful experience through farming, forestry, gardening and property renovation both locally and abroad. He began working in the letting industry over 25 years ago and has excellent local knowledge and with experience of letting properties both his own and through Duke Letting.
Uckfield is a pleasant town with an excellent community spirit and a population of around 15,000. It is in a good central position, with several large towns good for shopping within 20 to 45 minutes away. The town has a Tesco and Waitrose, both offering home delivery. Other large retailers include Halfords, Boots, WH Smith and Peacocks, as well as a good variety of specialist retailers and coffee shops.

As a private tenant of 13 years I have dealt with a number of different letting agents. Duke letting and Sara in particular have been by far the best and most pleasant to deal with. Sara has been so helpful and supportive when I needed to move out of my rental property with them and I will truly miss having them as my agents!

I was a tenant with Duke Letting for 3.5 years. At all times, the letting team were friendly, professional and fair. They would go above and beyond to understand your situation and communicate clearly with the landlord for a fair and balanced outcome. I would highly recommend. Thanks Sara and Jo, you were fabulous!

Duke Letting have been managing properties on my behalf for almost 20 years. This is the longest time I have ever worked with a single service provider without any complaints. Rod and his team make the process of letting and managing property painless and worry free. They are always efficient and pleasant to deal with and have, on several occasions, gone to great lengths to sort out problems for me before I even knew about them. Without Duke Letting, I would have got out of the rental property business a long time ago - but with them it has been a pleasure.

Mr. Roderick Carmichael and his team at Duke letting have looked after our house near Lewes for many years since 2003. They have been unfailingly reliable and efficient, always prompt to respond to all problems, both of the house itself and any concerns raised by the tenants. This, added to their regular inspections and efficient repairs. We happily recommend them.

I had the pleasure of renting a lovely flat in Heathfield with my wife and son from Dukes for 3 years. They were always so attentive and helpful. We were extremely sad to leave and we are so grateful to all the team for their help over the years. Would happily recommend Dukes Lettings to anyone. Thank you for everything.
