Business Details
Our estate agency was established in 1985 by founding partners Andrew Willmer and Nick Kier, giving us decades of dedicated experience in the Bedford property market. We have grown to become Bedford's leading agent for quality homes, underpinned by an enduring commitment to professional excellence. Our service was significantly enhanced in 2002 with the formation of the Lane Group of companies, networking the expertise of 12 offices across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, and Hertfordshire. We further cemented our national reach by establishing a central London Mayfair Office and becoming founder members of the Move with Us network, which connects over 1,200 offices nationwide. In 2007, we launched Lane & Holmes Lettings, which has rapidly grown into the fastest-growing lettings agency in Bedford. We have fully embraced the technological revolution, implementing a fully computerised database that links all our offices for rapid information distribution.
Our systems enable property details to be shared quickly and efficiently via email, text messaging, and traditional methods, ensuring we meet modern client expectations. We are dedicated to providing absolute clarity and consistent communication, keeping our clients fully updated at every step of their transaction. We believe in going above and beyond, proactively chasing progress and resolving difficulties even when external solicitors present obstacles. Our team prides itself on a friendly yet highly professional approach that makes complex processes straightforward for our clients. We invite prospective vendors to contact us for a free, no-obligation market appraisal to benefit from our unparalleled local and national coverage.
