Devon, from above.

Twelve miles of estuary villages between Exeter and the sea. We know which lanes flood, which schools fill and which views last.

Down the lane.

The right street matters more than the right kitchen. We will tell you honestly which ones hold their value.

03 · Georgian, five bedrooms

The house.

Why sellers choose us

Your home, presented the way you see it.

A seller chooses an agent by imagining their own house in the window. So we come back at the right hour, we light the lamps, and we write particulars a buyer actually reads to the end.

  1. i.

    Photographed at the right hour

    We shoot every home when the light suits it, which sometimes means dusk and sometimes means coming back.

  2. ii.

    Priced from evidence

    Your valuation comes with the comparable sales we used, so you can see how we reached the figure.

  3. iii.

    One negotiator, start to finish

    The person who values your home is the person who takes the offers and chases the solicitors.

“They came back at seven in the evening to photograph the house with the lamps on. We had three viewings booked before the listing was a day old.”
