Derbyshire Properties is pleased to provide a modern and progressive estate agency service utilising the best 21st century technology, including a dedicated website with access to online search facilities and e-mail enquiries. We are however, resolute in our desire to continue in the tradition of maintaining personal contact with our clients and offering an informed personal service based on an in-depth knowledge of the local market place.

Technology, legislation, market trends and strategies change, but one thing remains the same - our clients are people. We never forget that people have individual requirements.

As experienced property professionals we are hugely aware that buying and selling, renting and letting property can be a stressful experience. Our aim is to guide our clients as skilfully and effortlessly as possible through the intricacies of this demanding process.

We are readily available to discuss our clients' individual requirements and keen to deliver a service that reflects our experience in the property market. We will willingly give you our expert opinion, point you in the right direction for specialist financial and legal advice, recommend trusted companies and advise you on local amenities and educational facilities.

Derbyshire Properties is proud to announce that it has been awarded exclusive Membership of The Guild of Property Professionals for the Alfreton and Belper areas.

The Guild is a national network of almost 800 carefully selected independent estate agents working together to consistently raise standards of excellence and professionalism in the industry. The Guild facilitates and supports its Members providing marketing, business and technology solutions to ensure a 'best in class' service, delivering a key competitive advantage: trust and confidence.

The Guild is a nationwide network of approaching 800 leading estate agents, all dedicated to maintaining the very highest standards of professionalism and customer service. Guild Membership is traditionally only granted to one agent in a given area.

This appointment means that Derbyshire Properties has been judged to have met or exceeded The Guild's exacting Membership criteria, and in recognition of this achievement has been selected as its sole representative in the given towns.

As part of The Guild Membership, Derbyshire Properties has access to innovative marketing to promote their sellers' properties to the highest standard. They also have access to the widest possible pool of buyers - not just in Alfreton and Belper, but across the whole of the UK including the lucrative London market, where its properties are marketed through The Guild's head office in Park Lane.

"Being chosen to represent The Guild is a great honour," says Russell Hind - Co Director of Derbyshire Properties "The awarding of this membership is a tribute to all the hard work we have invested into building our reputation for exceptional service, and underlines our position as the leading estate agent in the area."

Speaking on behalf of The Guild, CEO Iain McKenzie says: "We are delighted to welcome Derbyshire Properties into The Guild as our new representatives in both Alfreton and Belper. Their expertise and outstanding service means that they will be a valued asset to our national network."

With all these advantages, Derbyshire Properties is keen to develop the services it offers its clients. "Estate agency is all about people," says Russell, "which is why we remain committed to the principles of good old-fashioned, honest, personal service and this has always been our trademark."

Expert market knowledge and the traditional customer service you expect from a leading local estate agent, combined with unrivalled nationwide marketing power, means that Derbyshire Properties and The Guild make a powerful and successful combination.
