Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    Aren't all estate agents the same? We don't think so. Since February 2005 when we first opened our doors, we have built an unrivalled reputation for our service-led approach to successfully selling town and country property. We pride ourselves on the level of service we offer. Key to this is the fact we only ever market up to twenty properties at one time enabling us to provide the highest level of service at all times. Our professionalism, sound advice and level of expertise is second to none, with each aspect of the selling and buying process being handled by one of our directors.  With clear and relevant communication being key to a successful move, we like to be involved at each stage from the very first point of contact through to the completion of a sale.   Our personal tailor-made approach to selling town and country property has seen continued success in Tunbridge Wells and this has also led to an increasing demand for our services outside town. Due to this we are pleased to have opened our second branch in Wadhurst in February 2015.  We continue to provide the level of service both sellers and buyers have come to expect from us and testament to this is the number of recommendations we consistently receive from our clients. So get in touch and see how we can help with your move. Our approach is different, it’s working and it will work for you.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 18, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 18, 2023

    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
