English Homes is an independent family run company providing a sales and lettings service to a wide and diverse area of South Somerset. Managing Partner, Michael English, has previous experience working for a large corporate agent and managed a local independent before going into partnership with Olwen Herridge in 2009.
Whilst still providing all the internet advertising, window displays, media coverage, financial services etc of the larger agent, being an independent means we can better tailor our service to your needs. We print quality details from the main office so a photo for example can be changed instantly. Floorplans are provided at no extra cost. We can introduce your property to the marketplace within hours, not weeks of the first appraisal. We do not tie clients into lengthy contracts, preferring to build a trusting relationship from the beginning.
Our Financial Services colleague (Peter Francis of Basil James) is highly recommended as a top financial consultant. Fiercely independent he gives sound advice on mortgages, life cover, income protection, investments and pensions. He sees his role as giving the best financial advice he can, and not to help us sell houses.... but by doing the former, the latter follows. There are private offices available for consultation and home visits can be arranged.
For that unusual property or plot of land, independent auctioneer Adrian Male will guide you through the complexities of selling your asset at auction, raising the profile and achieving the best possible price for your sale.
As a highly regarded independent surveyor, we can thoroughly recommend his advice if you are concerned about a property. Adrian will often carry out minor advisory work concerning period properties for our bona fide clients.
We work closely with a group of local independent Solicitors and can therefore obtain competitive 'No Sale, No Fee' quotes for conveyancing.
We can provide a competitive EPC service from a local and trusted energy performance assessor.
