About us

PERSONAL SERVICE WITH PROVEN RESULTS SINCE 2010

Blackshaw Homes is a family-run estate agency proudly serving Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding areas. With over 15 years of local experience, we combine deep knowledge of the Southend property market with personal service that larger agencies simply can't match.

Our team lives and breathes Southend - we know the schools, transport links, beaches, and what makes each neighbourhood special. This local insight helps us market your property effectively to the right buyers or find you the perfect home.

Whether you're selling, buying, letting or renting, Blackshaw Homes offers a complete property service. For sellers, we provide professional photography, strategic marketing, and dedicated support from listing to completion. Our lettings and property management service gives landlords peace of mind, handling everything from finding reliable tenants to ongoing maintenance.

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to being more than just an agent. We're problem-solvers and advisors who understand that property transactions are about people and their life journeys. That's why we offer extended hours until 9pm on weekdays and are available on Sundays - because property matters don't always happen during office hours.

Our Mayfair office connection brings London buyers to Southend properties, expanding your potential market. With Blackshaw Homes, you're choosing a trusted local partner committed to making your property experience smooth, successful and stress-free.
