Places of interest

    All Estate Agents are NOT the same so we won’t bore you with the buzz words of ‘professional’ or ‘passionate’ or ‘experienced’ (although we are all of those things). What makes Character & Country different is our love of the unique, quirky, individual and, well, like our name suggests, those properties that are full of character and/or set in the glorious countryside throughout Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Powys, Monmouthshire and Shropshire. Whether its a gorgeous beam-filled cottage, an apartment or city home with a unique vibe, a bungalow with stables & land or a holiday home with a view, our extensive but focused marketing -along with a clear idea of the current market and what buyers are looking for - means we can pull on our collective team experience spanning more than 90 years to get your home sold. Choosing an estate agent with strong local knowledge is, without doubt, an advantage. Buying and selling houses is still very much a ‘people’ business and this is where we come into our own. We don’t just rely our our website or the national property portals to bring potential buyers to us. We’re much more pro-active than that with social media, local and national press connections and the good, old fashioned task of phoning any potential purchasers we have on our books.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
