    Nicola Lancaster - Director
    Having gained over 15 years experience within the property industry I have developed knowledge of all areas of business from small independent to large corporate estate agents. I started out as a trainee negotiator for a large independent over 10 years ago in a very challenging and declining market. I have enjoyed roles which includes a sales negotiator, valuer and Sales branch manager. However my passion has always been LETTINGS. I have worked in some fantastic and challenging roles from a lettings negotiator to a senior lettings branch manager covering two offices with several staff members within a large corporate business. Customer service has always been a priority for me and whatever I DO.

    Sarah Brown - Office Manager & Senior Sales
    Why do I enjoy my job? Finding people their dream home and ensuring the sale goes as smoothly as possible, taking the stress out of it for vendors and buyers and providing the best customer service. Outside of work I am often found on long dog walks in the countryside with husband Jake and Dog Tilda, always with a nice pub at the end. Nice meals out and spending time with my family.
