Welcome to Hunters Netley Abbey.

Our Team

Our offices are staffed by a highly experienced and motivated team of friendly and accessible property professionals who are here to help.

Michael Rye - Owner. My experience in the property market dates back to 1988 and I have trained and worked for the 2 largest corporate agencies in the UK working in London and Surrey. Since moving to the South Hampshire area in 2000 I have successfully managed offices in Southampton and Winchester. I established Thurman Rye Estate Agents in 2004 to provide a bespoke and professional service tailored to the individual needs of our clients, with the aim of being the most professional and expert property brokers in the area.

Acquiring a Hunters franchise was the next exciting stage of our evolution when we sought the network support from a professional group of established agents to provide the same high standards of service and sales excellence we have become known for, over a wider area.

Paul Thurman has over 25 years of agency experience and is proud to be known in the local property market as a trustworthy and caring property professional. Paul has lived in the local area of Hamble-le-Rice and Netley Abbey nearly all his life and is well-known in the community.

Brett Draper is a hugely motivated individual with an exceptional sales background. Brett has extensive knowledge of the local areas including Netley Abbey, Bitterne and Hedge End and has over 20 years of local property market experience.

Ruth Pearce's corporate agency background dates back to 1999 and gives her a wealth of industry knowledge and she has accrued expert sales and lettings experience throughout the Southampton property market.

We specialise in residential sales of all types of property from character cottages to small country estates. From apartments with sea views to modern houses we are very fortunate to work in an area where the market is diverse, selling a wide range of property to suit every budget and taste.

We have a belief that while property marketing should be all encompassing and should leave nothing to chance, our primary marketing tool is an enthusiastic and sympathetic knowledge of all aspects of our property and the local property market.
