Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    Hunters is the UK’s largest independent property franchise and the fastest growing networks of estate and lettings agents across the country with branches nationwide.  Most branches, such as Hunters Catford, are run by the business owner, with years of experience in the local area and the property market. Over the whole network, customer satisfaction is 96% - a long way ahead of the industry average. This comes from accredited training, hard work, a professional, no nonsense approach, and the personal touch. Estate agency is not just about property. It is about people and their journey of selling, buying, letting or renting. Our role is to help you in that journey.  There has been an estate agents at our offices for over 30 years, becoming part of the Hunters network in 2011. The current owner, Richard Wells, took over the business in 2013, following years of experience in property management, the IT industry, charity sector and leadership development. He also runs a mortgage and insurance business, Ethos Financial, which runs from our Hunters Catford office, and is a landlord himself. Richard’s ethos matches that of Hunters, where giving time to people is very important: “I want to treat our customers, the same way I want to be treated. I want to do for them what I would want done for myself. I do business with people I trust, and our customers, whether selling, buying, letting or renting, need to know that they are dealing with a business they can trust”. Together, Hunters Catford, has a team that gives time, works hard and brings years of experience to sales, lettings, management and mortgages. Hunters Catford advertise on the main property portals, as well as the Hunters web site, Facebook, Twitter, local bus shelters and our shop window on the high street. We always include floorplans for sales and lettings’ properties, and provide free valuations. In addition, two things stand out with us. Finding a buyer for a home is just half the process. Making sure the buyer is in a strong position to complete on the sale is vital. Years of arranging mortgages gives us great insight to understand the buyer’s position in a way most estate agents do not fully appreciate. Secondly, a good estate agent works hard behind the scenes to follow up with solicitors, brokers, valuers and other agents up and down the chain to overcome any obstacles to get the sale to completion. We have been pleased to sponsor local community events in the last few years including Catford Arts Trail; Rushey Green Festival; Blythe Hill Fields Festival; Felday Road Street Party; Torridon Junior School Summer Fair; Torridon Infants School Welcome Fair; Holbeach Primary School Summer Fair; Athelney Primary School Christmas Fair and Goldsmiths Community Centre Christmas Fair. You are welcome to pop in any time and chat to us at Hunters Catford.
