An Estate Agency That Explains Every Step

We help people buy, sell and rent homes across the UK. Our approach is simple: give people the facts they need early, answer questions properly, and stay in touch until the move is done.

How We Work With Buyers, Sellers and Tenants

Each listing on this site carries the details people usually have to chase: the tenure and lease length, the EPC rating, the council tax band and how many parking spaces come with it. We would rather you rule a home out early than travel across the city for a viewing that was never going to work.

For sellers, valuations are based on what comparable homes nearby have actually sold for. We show you the evidence and explain the figure, including what a small repair or a few months' wait might change.

For tenants, we are clear about costs up front. Every rental listing shows the holding deposit, the tenancy deposit and the first month's rent, and there are no agency fees for viewings or referencing.

Once an offer is accepted, the same agent stays with you through surveys, searches and completion, so you always know who to ask.

How buying with us works

  1. Get your numbers ready

    Speak to a mortgage adviser and get a mortgage in principle, so you know your budget and sellers can see you are ready.

  2. Shortlist and view

    Save homes as you browse, then book viewings from each listing. We send the key documents before you go.

  3. Make an offer

    Tell us your offer and your position. We pass it to the seller the same day and explain what happens next.

  4. From offer to keys

    Your agent keeps in touch with both conveyancers, chases searches and surveys, and tells you as soon as a date is set.

What Buyers Ask Us

These are the questions we hear most often in the first week of a search. Short, honest answers below, and more on the FAQ page.

How much should I offer?

Look at what similar homes on the same street have sold for, not what they were listed at. We share those figures with you and tell you how much interest a home has had, so your offer is based on evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buying or renting for the first time raises the same questions for most people. Here are answers to the common ones.

How do I start the process of buying a property?

Start by working out your budget with a mortgage adviser and getting a mortgage in principle, which shows sellers you can borrow what you need. Then choose a conveyancer, so you are ready to move quickly once an offer is accepted. After that, shortlist homes on this site and book viewings from each listing page.

What should I look for when buying a home?

Beyond the layout and the location, look at the age of the boiler and roof, signs of damp, the EPC rating, the council tax band and, for flats, the lease length and service charge. Visit the street at different times of day. Our article “12 Questions to Ask at a Property Viewing” has a fuller checklist.

How much do I need for a deposit?

Many lenders will lend up to 90 or 95% of the price, so the minimum deposit is often 5 to 10%. A larger deposit usually gets you a lower interest rate. Remember to budget separately for stamp duty, legal fees, a survey and moving costs.

How can I find out if I’m eligible for a mortgage?

Speak to a mortgage adviser or broker, who will look at your income, outgoings and credit history and tell you roughly how much you can borrow. They can then arrange a mortgage in principle. The calculator on each listing page gives a quick estimate of monthly repayments, but it is not advice.

Can I get help with selling my property?

Yes. We can value your home, advise on preparing it for sale, arrange photographs and viewings, handle offers and keep the chain moving through to completion. Use the contact form to tell us the address and we will arrange a market appraisal.

What will I pay before moving into a rented home?

In England you can be asked for a holding deposit of up to one week’s rent, a tenancy deposit of up to five weeks’ rent (where annual rent is under £50,000), and your first month’s rent. Agents cannot charge fees for viewings, referencing or setting up a tenancy.
