About Maddisons Residential Ltd, Tunbridge Wells

18 The Pantiles Tunbridge Wells Kent TN2 5TN
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0Industry affiliation logo 1

When Deborah Richards founded Maddisons Residential in 2013 she wanted to build an estate agency based on truly exceptional service, proactive and honest advice and an utter passion to sell a client’s property for the best price, to the best buyer, in line with their timescales. She combined her many years of working in wealth management with renovating and selling numerous properties, to deliver the ultimate estate agency experience. Now, with an established team and a dominance in family properties in all core Tunbridge Wells’ postcodes, this aspiration has become a reality. Maddisons Residential receive over 90% of their business from client referrals, have been voted to be an “Exceptional Agent” in 2025 in the Best Estate Agency Guide, have countless 5 star ratings on Google and consistently exceed industry averages in terms of % of asking price achieved and time to secure a sale. They also have a fierce reputation for holding a deal together once an offer is received, with an envied fall through rate of just 7%. In 2017, Maddisons branched into lettings, where this overriding objective to deliver truly exceptional service continued. Many landlords cite that Maddisons are their “trusted advisor” on their investment property portfolio. Maddisons’ strapline that excellence is not a skillset, it’s an attitude, are words that they live and breathe by, and they cannot wait to show you how.
