Blakemore & Sons family agency

Why are we different to other estate agents?

We are a genuine, independent, family agency with a reputation for quality, service and efficiency.

As a family business, we are able to offer what the corporates can’t.

We give honest and realistic advice – to make your move as smooth as possible – from your free valuation until after completion.

Blakemore & Sons provide the personal service so often lacking in the market today:

  • You will have full access to us, and not just during business hours.
  • We don’t pass you from person to person.

Testimonials

Your family agency - Don’t just take our word for it; please read our latest testimonials below:

I must say I couldn't have picked a better Estate agent to sell my house, it wasn’t a straightforward sale, a few bumps along the way, but Paul went above and beyond, and most of all he is honest and truthful, not all Estate Agents can say that about themselves. I thoroughly recommend Blakemore & Sons Estate Agents.

Mark Osborne

Our sale (and purchase!) challenged the patience of all involved. Paul kept abreast of all the issues. He maintained contact with solicitors, other agents and all parties. And kept a positive, supportive and encouraging attitude - whilst staying realistic when there were issues to resolve! Many thanks and I would recommend you to everyone!

Lindsey Field

Having registered our property with Blakemore & Sons they provided an excellent and attentive personal service. In the first seven days of marketing the property we had nine viewings and three potential buyers. Paul Blakemore went out of his way to make sure that the house selling process was as stress-free as possible and was always available to answer any queries and keep us informed of developments. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Lisa & Tony Clarke

Throw out all the old cliches about estate agents when your dealing with Paul Blakemore. His personal service and constant attention has been superb. He sold my mother’s property despite it being outside his normal area, and against all the well-known local competition. He marketed our own house in super quick time, his advice on marketing and valuation was spot on, and we had a cash buyer lined up within a week. Unlike all other estate agents I have dealt with, once they have sold the property you go on the back burner, Paul continually updated us as the sale proceeded to a happy conclusion for all. He is now actively helping us to buy a suitable property for rental purposes, with his equally professional colleague and I have no hesitation in putting this transaction in their more than capable hands. I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending Blakemore & Sons to any prospective buyer/seller/landlord as “SIMPLY THE BEST”.

Brian and Penny Hollister

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into helping me buy my bungalow … It was a real pleasure to work with you, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you once again.

Ann Hills

Just like to say thanks for the excellent service provided on the sale of Mum’s maisonette. What a fantastic result sold within 4 days and in excess of £3,000.00 pounds more than the asking price, due to the bidding war encouraged by your goodself, Well done, I will certainly recommend your company to others.

Janice Parkes

Really enjoyed working with Paul and his team, the whole sales process was managed brilliantly

Paul Chapple

I was going through a divorce situation and forced sell. The property was sold within 8 hours of going on Rightmove at above asking price, and the sales process, that could have been painful was dealt with very well.

Graham Casella

Blakemore & Sons have just sold our house and I would like to thank Paul especially for his help and constant contact throughout the process keeping us updated all the way through from sale to completion . His kind friendly manor was a breath of fresh air in this sometimes stressful process . Thanks to Paul and all his staff. I would recommend his services as the first agent to call .

David Joanes

Paul was our Estate Agent and he was absolutely amazing. Right from the beginning he was always extremely helpful and every time I called up for questions, he went in to so much detail which was always reassuring and super helpful! I would 100% recommend Paul from Blakemore & Sons. Thanks so much again :)

Leona Carlo

I did mean what I said during our conversation, your attention to detail felt really personal as did your tailored service, it really did feel like I was your only client and that is really rare these days, a huge well done.
