About the agent

Lednor and Company Ltd, Bishop's Stortford

3 Bridge Street, Bishop's Stortford, Herts CM23 2JU

Lednor and Company Ltd, Bishop's Stortford

Martyn Lednor started his own estate agency business in Sawbridgeworth in 1986. After several years, he decided to move to Bishop's Stortford and opened a small office in 5 Bridge Street, Bishop's Stortford. 

Andrew Barber, who was a guitarist in a band with him and used to work with him in the 1980's, joined Martyn as a partner in 1995. Together they grew the business to the extent that they outgrew the office and in 2004 moved to a larger office next door, where we still are.
