Bees Homes’ celebrates 8 years of award-winning customer service
When it comes to selling a unique or character-filled home, clients of Bees Homes Property Limited consistently say one thing: they make the difference. Based in Sussex, this boutique estate agency has earned a reputation over the last 8 years for delivering a service that goes far beyond the norm – and clients are quick to share what truly sets them apart.
The first thing sellers notice is the personal, hands-on approach. From the initial meeting to final completion, clients deal directly with senior team members who genuinely care about the outcome. “It never felt like a transaction,” one homeowner commented. “They understood our home and made us feel like partners, not just clients.”
Another standout is their bespoke marketing strategy. Clients are frequently amazed by how their homes are presented – with magazine-quality photography, drone footage, and thoughtful descriptions that tell the story of the property. “We were blown away by how beautifully they captured our home,” said one client. “The attention to detail was incredible, and it helped us attract the right buyers fast.”
Clients also highlight communication and trust as defining aspects of the Bees Homes experience. Regular updates, honest advice, and a calm, reassuring presence throughout the process make sellers feel confident and in control. “They were always one step ahead, solving problems before they became issues,” said another.
It’s no surprise that many clients return to Bees Homes or recommend them to others. Their award-winning service is built on knowledge, creativity and care, making them the natural choice for those looking to sell something special.
As one client put it: “Bees Homes didn’t just sell our house—they understood it, loved it, and found someone who did too.”
Eastbourne Bonfire: Burning for the Community
You may know the Bonfire Society from their spectacular torch lit procession along the seafront each October—but did you know it’s entirely self-funded and run by volunteers who work year-round?_
Eastbourne Bonfire Society is part of a proud tradition of Bonfire Night celebrations held across Sussex from September to December. This year’s free event is on 4th October will fill the seafront with flames, a giant bonfire, and beachside fireworks, drawing thousands of visitors—despite receiving no public funding.
Behind the scenes, volunteers craft 3,500 torches, handmake costumes, and a construct a massive effigy or “tab” which is burnt at the bonfire site, while also handling logistics, permissions, and fundraising. As Bonfire Chair Liz Shaw explains: “We’re a hardworking team of volunteers who work year-round to prepare for the bonfire. As well as our bonfire and the other free events we put on, there’s some 20 plus bonfires across Sussex that we get invited to visit.”
To fund their spectacular Bonfire Night, EBS – whose motto is ‘Burning for the Community’ – hosts events throughout the year. Their next is a VE Day 80th anniversary commemoration on 8th May, featuring Eastbourne Silver Band and a torchlit procession led by Stix drummers, ending with a memorial beacon-lighting by the lifeboat museum.
EBS also organises the popular and free, two-day Eastbourne Steampunk Festival and a range of fundraisers—from quizzes and bingo to dances.
As Liz Shaw notes: “Next year is the 25th anniversary of the Bonfire Society reforming. We’ve come a long way, but it’s always going to be hard work. A lot of people don’t realise we aren’t funded by the Council. We raise all our own money through our events and donations, which is a growing challenge in the current economic climate.”
