Honest pricing
We value from real recent sales, and we'll tell you if we think you're asking too much — even if it costs us the listing.
A small agency with a long memory.
Since 2009 we've helped more than 1,240 families move — most of them recommended by someone we moved before. We stay small on purpose.
Our story
Started at a kitchen table on Linden Rise.
Amara Okafor and Theo Vale met while selling homes for a national chain. They were good at it, and tired of it: the pressure to over-value, the endless viewings, the clients who were passed between five different people.
So in 2009 they set up on their own with a simple idea — price honestly, show fewer homes, and stay with each client all the way. Seventeen years later, we're still an independent team of eight, still answering our own phones.

What we believe
Four rules we don't bend.
Local first
Six neighbourhoods, nothing more. We know which streets flood, which schools are full and where the morning light falls.
Fewer, better viewings
A tight shortlist with honest notes beats twenty wasted Saturdays. Our buyers view 4 homes on average before offering.
Aftercare
We check in after you move, and our list of trusted local trades is yours for as long as you live here.
Seventeen years

“They told us our asking price was too high. We listened, and sold in eleven days — for more than the agent who over-valued us promised.”
“Same person, every call, for five months. When the chain collapsed twice, Daniel just quietly fixed it.”
“Three years after we moved in, they still send the boiler engineer's number every winter. That's a real local agency.”
