A grown-up index of the neighbourhoods we let across Worthing, Brighton and the coast in between — written by the people who walk them every day.

Patches across town — seafront crescents, the old village cores inland, and family terraces in between.
Heene is the central-west Worthing patch sandwiched between the town centre and West Worthing — Edwardian villas, leafy streets, and a small but useful local shopping strip on Heene Road. Walkable, quiet, and slightly more polished than the streets either side.
West Worthing sits between central Worthing and Goring — Edwardian terraces and seafront flats, a station of its own for the London hop, and a slightly quieter feel than the town centre without losing easy walking access to it.
“We have been using Phillip James Lettings since 2008 to help us with 2 flats we rent out. Prior to that we used a couple of the bigger names out there but I'm so glad we made the change — and stuck to it!”
“As a private landlord of a house in the Preston Park area of Brighton, it was refreshing to deal with such a professional and knowledgeable letting agent.”
“The service they give is friendly, super helpful and personal — and that goes for our tenants as well. Having had some very rude and brusque treatment from various lettings companies when I was a renter, this was important to me as I didn't want people renting from us to feel as I had back then.”
“In an environment where the regulatory restrictions applied to landlords is more complex and extensive than ever before, having a letting agent that is fully on top of these matters and is able to guide you effectively through what needs to be done and should be done, is worth its weight in gold.”
“We have been letting out our properties with Phillip James in Worthing for over 16 years and throughout that whole time the service has been extremely professional. …”
“… We use the fully managed service which means we never have to worry; reminders are sent with regards to compliance issues like gas safety certificates and we receive regular condition reports. …”
“… Rent payments are always sent direct to our bank account promptly, fees are extremely competitive and the contractors used provide a great service too. Vetting of prospective tenants is very thorough and comprehensive, which I think has led to us having some very long term tenants.”
“As a landlord, working with Phillip James (Worthing) has been an absolute pleasure. From the outset, they demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a genuine commitment to protecting my investment while ensuring tenants were well looked after.”
“Lyn is super lovely and patient, always there with advice if needed and recommendations for people who can fix any problems in the flats quickly if we can't (we also get friendly, gentle reminders about things we might have forgotten about!!)”
“Due to the fact that the property is no longer suitable, I have recently ended my tenancy with Phillip James Letting Agents. Throughout the four years I was renting with them I found them to be helpful, approachable and very friendly.”
“All aspects of the letting process were handled with clear and straightforward communication, including that rare thing: being able to pick up a phone and actually speak to somebody who can help, promptly.”
“Unlike other letting agents, this is a small family run business and from a landlord perspective this matters as it genuinely feels like Phillip James are acting in the best interest of both us as landlords and for our tenants. …”
“… Phillip James understand our desire to provide a comfortable home for our tenants, it is not just a business transaction; the relationship between all parties is important to ensure the let runs smoothly and any issues or repairs are dealt with promptly.”
“My first let was in 2013 and Phillip James have ensured that my property has not stayed empty for longer than a few weeks, time needed to redecorate and maintain it. They handle every stage of the letting process seamlessly. …”
“… Communication is excellent throughout, and I am kept informed of progress without ever feeling overwhelmed by unnecessary details.”
“Also, over all those years, each time we've needed to find a new tenant, they've always handled it so well, finding us lovely people quickly and without any drama, and making the check in process easy and smooth for all involved.”
“If something needed to be done within the property they were prompt, efficient and went out of their way to make sure that costs (if there were any) were kept as low as possible.”
“I recently had to back out of a rental agreement for personal reasons, and I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and understanding shown by Lyn.”
“In addition to swift and detailed referencing, I received clear and accurate guidance on rental values - this team knows their market.”
“If you are looking for a letting agent in the Worthing area, I would not hesitate in recommending Phillip James.”
“We have been tenants with Phillip James since 2021 and honestly cannot fault them at all. We have run into minimal issues since being tenants and any problems we have encountered have been rectified within an excellent time frame. …”
“… I feel more than comfortable going to them with any issues that may arise and have never had a negative experience. We are extremely happy where we live and would recommend Phillip James to anyone 😊”
“I would wholeheartedly recommend Phillip James (Worthing) to any tenant seeking a letting agency that combines professionalism with a personal touch. They genuinely care about their tenants, they are proactive in paperwork and compliance and, importantly, respond quickly to any queries.”
“The team were incredibly helpful from start to finish and genuinely went beyond the call for me. They kept me updated at every stage, chased things I didn't even know needed chasing, and made the whole process far less stressful than it could have been. …”
“… Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I felt properly looked after throughout. I'm genuinely grateful for the effort they put in.”
“We'd wholeheartedly recommend them.”
“Lin was helping me for many years, around 5, and was brilliant, efficient, friendly and nothing was too much bother. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her and the agents without hesitation. Thank you!”

Durrington is Worthing's northern edge — a largely 1930s-onwards family neighbourhood between the South Downs and the A27, with good schools, a station, and easier-to-afford housing than the seafront.
East Worthing is the stretch from the town centre out toward Lancing — predominantly Edwardian residential streets, popular with families and commuters, with the seafront ten minutes away and its own train station for a faster London hop.
Worthing's central core — the pier, Montague Street's pedestrianised high street, the station, and the steadily-improving restaurant and bar scene. Walkable, well-connected, and the densest stock of one- and two-bed flats in the town.
Ferring is a quiet seaside village west of Goring — green lanes, beach huts on a wide pebble shore, an unhurried pace, and a settled community that's mostly retired or raising families.
Tarring is one of Worthing's oldest and most distinctive areas — a historic village core wrapped in family streets, with strong schools and a fifteen-minute walk to the seafront.
Broadwater sits just north of central Worthing — a big, settled village core wrapped in family streets, with a green at its heart and some of the most-requested primary schools in town.
Goring-by-Sea is the green, slow-paced western edge of Worthing — wide streets, mature trees, a seafront greensward, and the village high street running parallel to the beach. Family-led, with strong schools and a station that gives Goring its own commuter identity.
Charmandean sits on the slope rising north-east of Broadwater — 1930s semis and detacheds on broad curving streets, big gardens, and panoramic views back toward the sea on a clear day.
Offington is the residential pocket between Broadwater and Durrington — interwar semis on quiet curved streets, the Offington roundabout at the centre, and a quietly suburban feel that's a 10-minute drive from the seafront.
Goring Hall is the private residential estate built around the grounds of the former Goring Hall manor — substantial modern detached houses on landscaped streets, the most exclusive address in Goring-by-Sea, and rarely on the market.
Findon is an inland village in the South Downs above Worthing — a flint-and-brick high street, sheep-fair tradition still alive, and family houses set against open downland. Higher rents than central Worthing, but the trade is countryside on your doorstep.
Findon Valley is the suburban shoulder between Worthing's northern edge and Findon village proper — south of the A27, family-sized housing, walking access to the South Downs, and noticeably more space per pound than central Worthing.
Two adjoining West Sussex villages between Worthing and Littlehampton — historic cores, a station, and a long greensward down to the beach.
Angmering is a sprawling West Sussex village west of Worthing with its own train station, a busy high street, and a long-running mix of historic core, post-war family neighbourhoods, and newer estates spreading north toward the A27.

East Preston is a coastal village west of Worthing — quiet streets, a long greensward leading down to the beach, a Co-op high street, and the sort of slow-paced retired-and-family community that defines the West Sussex coast.
The mouth of the Arun — beach, harbour, and a working seafront.
Littlehampton sits where the Arun meets the sea — long sandy beaches, a regenerated harbour, and noticeably cheaper rents than Worthing or Brighton. Direct trains to London Victoria from a station that's been here since 1846.

Coastal flats and family streets between Worthing and Shoreham.
Lancing sits between Worthing and Shoreham — coastal, flatter than its inland neighbour Sompting, with its own train station and a seafront promenade. Cheaper than central Worthing or Brighton for similar property types.
“We have been using Phillip James Lettings since 2008 to help us with 2 flats we rent out. Prior to that we used a couple of the bigger names out there but I'm so glad we made the change — and stuck to it!”
“As a private landlord of a house in the Preston Park area of Brighton, it was refreshing to deal with such a professional and knowledgeable letting agent.”
“The service they give is friendly, super helpful and personal — and that goes for our tenants as well. Having had some very rude and brusque treatment from various lettings companies when I was a renter, this was important to me as I didn't want people renting from us to feel as I had back then.”
“In an environment where the regulatory restrictions applied to landlords is more complex and extensive than ever before, having a letting agent that is fully on top of these matters and is able to guide you effectively through what needs to be done and should be done, is worth its weight in gold.”

“Lyn is super lovely and patient, always there with advice if needed and recommendations for people who can fix any problems in the flats quickly if we can't (we also get friendly, gentle reminders about things we might have forgotten about!!)”
“Due to the fact that the property is no longer suitable, I have recently ended my tenancy with Phillip James Letting Agents. Throughout the four years I was renting with them I found them to be helpful, approachable and very friendly.”
“All aspects of the letting process were handled with clear and straightforward communication, including that rare thing: being able to pick up a phone and actually speak to somebody who can help, promptly.”
“Unlike other letting agents, this is a small family run business and from a landlord perspective this matters as it genuinely feels like Phillip James are acting in the best interest of both us as landlords and for our tenants. …”
“… Phillip James understand our desire to provide a comfortable home for our tenants, it is not just a business transaction; the relationship between all parties is important to ensure the let runs smoothly and any issues or repairs are dealt with promptly.”

“Also, over all those years, each time we've needed to find a new tenant, they've always handled it so well, finding us lovely people quickly and without any drama, and making the check in process easy and smooth for all involved.”

An inland market town under the Downs, half an hour from the coast.
Steyning is a small market town tucked beneath the South Downs, with a Tudor and Georgian high street, a strong community feel, and a noticeably quieter pace than the coast 10 minutes south. Family homes dominate; flats are scarce and well-fought-over.

The Regency squares of Kemptown, the family streets of Preston Park, the village pockets up Seven Dials and Hanover — the busiest rental market on the coast.

“I've had Phillip James as my letting agents for over 10 years now and can't fault them. Any query's are dealt with in a timely manner. The agent I speak with or email is always friendly and helpful. I am kept up to date with any changes in the laws and regulations that effect me as a tenant. …”
“… I would recommend Phillip James as great letting agents.”
“I have rented my current home for the last ten years through Philip James. They are an excellent managing agent who always respond to any concerns I have as a tenant. They are polite, respectful and always responsive to any queries I have within a few hours. …”
“… My point of contact is Lyn who has always been professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend using them over and above a larger chain agent. I prefer to have a more personal relationship rather than just being passed from pillar to post, it helps build trust on both sides. …”

Brunswick squares, mansion blocks and a quieter pace down by the seafront lawns.

“We have been using Phillip James Lettings since 2008 to help us with 2 flats we rent out. Prior to that we used a couple of the bigger names out there but I'm so glad we made the change — and stuck to it!”
“As a private landlord of a house in the Preston Park area of Brighton, it was refreshing to deal with such a professional and knowledgeable letting agent.”
“The service they give is friendly, super helpful and personal — and that goes for our tenants as well. Having had some very rude and brusque treatment from various lettings companies when I was a renter, this was important to me as I didn't want people renting from us to feel as I had back then.”

“Due to the fact that the property is no longer suitable, I have recently ended my tenancy with Phillip James Letting Agents. Throughout the four years I was renting with them I found them to be helpful, approachable and very friendly.”
“All aspects of the letting process were handled with clear and straightforward communication, including that rare thing: being able to pick up a phone and actually speak to somebody who can help, promptly.”
“Unlike other letting agents, this is a small family run business and from a landlord perspective this matters as it genuinely feels like Phillip James are acting in the best interest of both us as landlords and for our tenants. …”

The harbour town — beach huts, the old town, and the river Adur to the north.
Shoreham is the working port between Worthing and Hove — Norman church, houseboats on the Adur, a characterful high street, and a station with fast trains both ways. Rents sit between Worthing and Brighton.
