St Josephs Court

Chesterfield isn't just a property market to us, it's our home. And we've been here since 1871 making us one of the longest established firms of independent estate agents and chartered surveyors in North Derbyshire..

Did you know we were one of the first to advertise local properties in the windows of our town centre offices? We were also one of the first estate agents locally to display our properties on the internet in the early 1990's in a pilot scheme with IT consultants to NatWest, we were also the first agent to achieve a sale price of over £100,000 for a residential property in the local area.

When you choose an agent to let or sell your property, we know you want to deal with a professional, reputable and competent company. That's why Bothams is a member of and regulated by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) and the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA).

As you can tell from the professional organisations of which Bothams is a member, we are far more than just a residential estate agency. Bothams is an independent multi-discipline firm specialising in:

· Residential sales and valuation

· Residential lettings and property management

· Commercial property sales and lettings, valuation and management

· Professional valuation services and RICS surveys

When it comes to property, the value might fluctuate over the years but our values stay true: we are professional and care deeply about you, our experienced team share a passion and commitment to providing a friendly, professional and efficient service.

Between them, our long-serving team has seen it all - the bad times and good. We've also seen Chesterfield develop into the thriving town it is today and we are proud to call ourselves Chesterfield Champions, committed to helping the town attract investment and ensuring it remains at the top of buyers' wish lists.

Bothams Mitchell Slaney is one of the longest established independent estate agents in Chesterfield. The company was founded in 1871 by Mr William Drabble Botham, a butcher and farmer, in the Old Corn Exchange which now forms part of Chesterfield's historic Market Hall. Today, we're located less than 200 yards from our original location.

Nineteen years later in 1890 Ernest Mitchell, who practised as a local auctioneer and valuer on Glumangate in Chesterfield, founded rival property management firm Mitchell & Slaney.

Fast forward more than 100 years, and on 1st November 2000 the large estate agency practice of WD Botham & Sons and the property management practice of Mitchell & Slaney, combined to form what you know us as today.

The combining of the two businesses created far more than an estate agency, it created an independent multi-discipline firm specialising in Residential sales and valuation, Residential letting and property management, Commercial property sales and lettings, valuation and management and RICS surveys and Professional valuation services.

Times have changed during the last 150 years, but our commitment to the area, customer service and delivering a professional service tailored to our clients' needs remains at the forefront of everything we do.
