Way back in 1699, William Helmore started business that would be passed from father to son for the next three centuries. Little did he know that it would still going from strength to strength over 320 years later! Today, Helmores is still very independent and a leading estate agent in the area. As a family-run business, we offer the peace of mind that comes with dealing directly with the local owners, steering clear of distant head offices or impersonal call centres.
We sell considerably more homes in our core area than any other agent, thanks to a fantastic reputation of excellence, a brilliant team of local people, and innovation in technology. We embrace all the latest tech tools designed to make properties stand out. We even have our own fleet of drones which allow us to capture breathtaking views making properties leap off the page! Our rental department manages over 300 rental properties, ensuring they're not only well-maintained but also adhere to all legal requirements. We have many local landlord clients, as well as those further afield, including in the USA and Australia.
From our spacious three-story High Street office, our team of about 18 across sales and rentals welcomes you. It's more than an office, it's a comfortable space where you can drop by for a friendly chat over coffee. We understand that visiting an estate agent might seem daunting, filled with fears of being sold to or pushed into decisions that don’t feel right. That’s why we’ve gone out of our way to be the polar opposite of this! Far from pushy sales, we're here to support you, whether you're buying, selling, or renting. So, come on in and feel at ease in our office space, knowing we're all about helping you on your property journey with a smile.
Finally, we want to mention awards. They seem everywhere these days, that’s why we're picky about the ones we go for, and we only aim for those that really mean something. This way, when we win, it shows we're serious about being the best in estate agency. Our awards are a huge testament to our work hard and stand-out services in the industry:

We wonder what William Helmore would have made of it all if he could see the business today!
