Services
Property Sales
Our property sales service combines 160+ years of local market expertise with modern marketing strategies. We provide free valuations, professional photography, and floor plans, advertising properties on leading portals like Rightmove. Senior staff maintain direct client contact throughout transactions, ensuring transparency and avoiding outsourced sales progression. This approach has secured record sales including a 1.2m property in Finchampstead.
Residential Lettings
With over a century of experience, our lettings service focuses on tenant quality assessment and property management. We conduct thorough tenant checks while maintaining rental income priorities. Our local expertise covers Berkshire's rental market dynamics, supported by dedicated staff managing landlord-tenant relationships and property maintenance requirements.
Property Valuations
Chartered Surveyors provide accurate valuations for tax, lease extensions, and bank lending purposes. Services include single and portfolio valuations, retrospective assessments, and development appraisals. Our expertise informs critical property decisions while maintaining strict client confidentiality and professional standards.
Property Auctions
As Berkshire's most experienced auctioneers, we specialise in individual property sales through tailored marketing campaigns. Each property receives dedicated brochures rather than generic catalogues, advertised across specialist websites. Our auction department operates from Wokingham, maintaining close coordination with residential and commercial agency teams.
New Home Sales
We market new developments using specialist strategies distinct from second-hand property sales. Our experience includes major schemes like 161 homes in Lower Earley and 230 houses in Foxley Fields. The service combines developer liaison with buyer-focused marketing to maximise sales performance for both large builders and individual vendors.
