Over 170 years' experience of managing estates across the country

We have been in the business of estate management for over 170 years, and the depth of knowledge and experience we have amassed in that time is unrivalled. We work out of 43 offices across the country, offering scale and quality of support that are second to none. All directors of the business are experienced rural practice chartered surveyors with the strength and depth of skills needed to advise on the extensive challenges that our clients face in the sector.

Our clients include families, trustees, institutions, charities, the public sector and large corporations. Whatever the scale or nature of the estate, we offer a full range of services, which includes strategic advice and support for owners in relation to the management of their business. We are familiar with managing all aspects of let property, with other services including asset management, succession planning and tax mitigation, together with the management of in-hand trading businesses and staff.
