Alongside Neil is his wife, Belinda-Jane, who will be happy to advise you on the best nurseries, schools and all the other important questions when settling into a new area.

Some have been with us for over a decade, and all can provide you with a deep knowledge of the best neighbourhoods, properties and homes in the area and a genuinely friendly attitude to boot.

    With over 12 years experience working for a Corporate Landlord in Central London & ARLA qualifications to his name, John was the perfect fit for taking over at the helm of our Property Management department in June 2017. Excellent Property Management requires a calm, experienced, diplomatic and detailed approach - John has these skills in abundance and has been a fantastic addition to our team.

      Neil Guilfoyle - Director
      An Estate Agent since he was 16, Neil is your true Industry professional - although these days he wears much better suits. Not quite in short trousers anymore, it would be hard to find anyone with more Property experience than Neil. Neil not only manages Trend & Thomas on a day to day basis & often 7 days a week but he also lives in the Town Centre in Rickmansworth so he's happily immersed in the local area professionally, socially and personally. Neil is unassuming, full of integrity, principled and what is most impressive is that he's respected by colleagues & competitors alike. Neil loves his Golf particularly at Moor Park, he definitely enjoys a pint in the local pubs and embraces all that our lovely area has to offer with his young family. Neil runs a tight ship in the office but jollies it up with a ready laugh & his trademark sense of humour.

What is considered by many as a very stressful time in life, was made easy and worry free by Neil and his excellent team. Their brilliant communication skills meant we were constantly updated on every aspect of our purchase - something which was incredibly important to us both - so that, in addition to the fact that nothing was ever too much bother for any member of the team, made our purchasing experience with them fantastic.
