Websites for independent estate agents

Most buyers find property on the big portals, so an independent agent’s website has a different job. It has to win instructions. A seller who has seen your board in the village will look you up before deciding who to invite round. If the site is slow, generic or still showing a sold house from two years ago, the chain with the glossy brochure gets the call.

We build the site around valuation requests. A short form sits on every page, asking for the property type, location and timescale, and it emails you straight away. Sales and lettings get separate routes so landlords aren’t lost among sellers. For buyers, we link to the listings you already publish on the portals or through your listings software, so you don’t have to enter properties twice.

Rural property is where independents here have the edge. Farms, land, smallholdings, equestrian property and barn conversions bring questions that town agents rarely deal with: agricultural ties, rights of way, private water and drainage, outbuildings with or without permission. A section that explains these plainly tells sellers you know what you’re doing. Short area guides for the towns and villages you cover help buyers moving in from further away and show the local knowledge a chain can’t fake.

Lettings gets a clear offer for landlords, setting out let-only and fully managed services and what each includes. Tenant information links to the forms and systems you already use. The team page shows your valuers and negotiators, your professional body and redress scheme membership, and links to your independent reviews. Rules on how agents show fees and material information do change, so we keep the wording measured and ask you to confirm it with your redress scheme or professional body.
