Welcome to The Mortimer & Gausden Partnership

We are Independent Estate Agents based in the beautiful market town of Bury St. Edmunds.

Since opening our doors in 2008, Mortimer & Gausden has grown into one of the area’s most trusted estate agencies. Founded by Andrew Mortimer and Ian Gausden, the business was built on a simple guiding philosophy: treat people as you would like to be treated. Their dedication, integrity and local expertise laid the foundations for our reputation.

In 2026, we entered a new phase as we became The Mortimer & Gausden Partnership. This evolution acknowledges our continued growth and, importantly, recognises the strength of our team - now all Property Partners.
