The founder shareholders, two of the existing Directors still working in the company, made a made a decision in 1992 to build an Estate Agency business in an area they all knew and had worked in for several years. The vision was to provide the Complete Property Service.

This would bring together the best local property related services all under the Bradleys umbrella to ensure each and every client would have a moving experience that was second to none.

This in turn would support the company culture of retaining Customers For Life. Evidence of the culture being supported every day can be seen on the independent review website www.allagents.co.uk which features thousands of reviews of happy customers that continue to recommend our service and return to use us for their property needs.

Our primary focus is to get you moved and we will work with you to achieve that with high levels of communication at each stage of the moving process. We have evolved various ways to help get our clients moved since we opened in 1992 and feel we are best placed to sell and let each property we are asked to market through our hard work, expertise and of course our friendly approach, we want to make this a positive and enjoyable experience.

Award-Winning Service

We offer a multi award winning high quality service from each of our 30+ offices in the region to sellers, buyers, landlords and tenants. Having received the ultimate accolade of ‘Best Customer Service in the UK’ out of over 12,000 estate agents in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 by the independent review website allagents is testament to the staff on every level understanding our vision and company culture.
