Two people bought a Stamford agency in 2011 and never opened a second branch

There is a reason for that, and it is not modesty. Fifteen miles is the distance at which we can still be at a property within the hour.

We only know one town, and we know it properly

Stamford has four hundred and forty-seven listed buildings inside its conservation area, and about a hundred of them change hands in a decade. Knowing which ones have had the roof done, which have a party-wall history with the house next door, and which look immaculate and have a damp problem behind the render is not a service we can scale. It is just what fourteen years in one town gives you.

An over-valuation is not a compliment. It is eight weeks of your life and the stamp duty on the house you did not buy.

Where we work

SCHEDULE · 15 MILES

Fifteen miles, and we say no beyond it

Past that we cannot get to a viewing inside an hour, and an agent who cannot do that is a portal listing with a logo on it.

Georgian town centre, mostly listed

The most expensive square mile in the town and the most restricted — almost nothing here can be altered without consent, which is exactly why it still looks like this.
