The town’s top estate agent is moving house after thirty years.

Open seven days a week and employing 25 members of staff, Gascoigne-Pees is cementing its position as the top agency in town - upgrading to new, bigger premises in a prime position on the High Street as it looks to grow its market share even further.

Commenting on the move, Jason Taylor, who heads up the branch’s home sales division said: “Although we are only moving up the road we had one eye firmly on the future when we were looking for our new premises. We’d been in our old home since the 1980s and we have grown the team and business considerably over the last thirty years. As well as sales, lettings and financial services we also offer surveying and conveyancing services so people can find everything they need to help them to buy, sell or let their home in one place. And we plan to grow even more.”

Chris Ead, Lettings Manager, agreed: “We see Guildford as a market with strong potential so we’re hoping to recruit more people to join us as part of our team. With our new branch being in a more central location we hope to capitalise on our reputation as one of the leading agencies in town and we look forward to welcoming people in to our new premises.”

The new Gascoigne-Pees branch is based at 193 High Street.
