About the area
The nearby villages of West Pennard, Pilton and Butleigh provide additional nurseries and primary schools, pubs, village stores, cafes and other amenities,One of the big attractions of the area are the friendly village communities with many varied societies.Glastonbury's past and present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It's been a religious centre throughout history and further back into the times of legends. There was a Celtic monastery here by 500 AD which, during the next 1000 years evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and today it's a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey

Places of interest

    About Us Roderick Thomas is an entirely independent firm with decade of experience selling and letting residential property. The firm has offices in Bristol (Clifton), Wells, Wedmore and Castle Cary and with its networked associate office in London covers a wide geographical area. The focus is to deliver a high level of service to clients to achieve the best sale or rental possible within a set timescale. The importance of wide spread advertising and effective marketing is recognised and with each property an individual campaign is planned. Having attracted buyers the next stage is negotiation and the firm prides itself on securing an agreement on the best terms and then progressing the sale to completion.  Ongoing discussion with all parties including solicitors ensures an agreed timetable is maintained and hitches are anticipated when possible and addressed with action taken if necessary. Focusing fully on sales and letting and not being burdened with “head office” costs Roderick Thomas is able to offer highly competitive commission rates on all agency terms. These include: Sales SOLE AGENCY – one agent is instructed to sell a property and commission is paid to the agent on completion of the sale. JOINT AGENCY – two (occasionally more) agents are instructed.  They work in conjunction and share the commission on completion.  The rate is usually higher than the sole agency. MULTI AGENCY – two (or occasionally more) agents are instructed.  They work in competition and only the agent who sells receives a commission on completion.  Again this is usually at a higher rate then sole agency (but not always). All prospective sellers are invited to contact Roderick Thomas to discuss the sale of any property.
