About this agent
King West was established in Market Harborough in 1998, and as the business grew, a second office was opened in Stamford. Our London affiliate has further allowed us to increase our reach and expand the services we are able to offer. In addition to handling the sale of residential and agricultural land and property, we offer a full range of complementary specialised services to ensure our customers can rely on us no matter what. We are regulated by the RICS, and members of CAAV, TPOS and CLA. We believe our continued success owes much to the outstanding commitment of our highly experienced, friendly team of professionals. We strive to go above and beyond for our clients, whether that is something as simple as taking a phone call outside traditional working hours or assisting with the complex legal issues that sometimes accompany a property or land transaction. We pride ourselves on being a ‘high-touch’ agency, which means we are highly involved with our clients to ensure things remain as simple as possible.
