Diggins & Co, Rayleigh

If you thought there was something familiar about new local estate agents Diggins & Cross, you’d be right. It’s actually none other than the well-known and well-established firm of Lewis Knight, now under a different name and sporting a new look – the eye-catching blue sky livery that proclaims its membership of Essex team, part of the UK’s largest branded network of independent property professionals.

As the new name suggests, the firm is still owned by Darren Diggins who opened the first Lewis Knight office in Benfleet High Road 10 years ago, following it with a second in Rayleigh two years later, which in turn moved to new premises on the corner of Eastwood Road and Websters Way just twelve months ago.

Today the two offices still operate from the same premises, with Darren overseeing the sales department, while partner Paul Cross takes care of the lettings and property management side. Darren and Paul collectively have over 40 years experience in the local housing market and aim to provide a professional service to all their clients.

Through our membership of Team we are able to offer our clients a level of service that no ordinary agent can match. We can provide the best of both worlds – all the expert local knowledge and personal attention you expect from a quality high street agent like ourselves, backed by the strength and resources of a major national chain with hundreds of offices around the country.

So if you’re interested in buying, selling or renting, it makes sense to call Diggins & Cross, the strangely familiar team agents in Benfleet and Rayleigh.
