Sandersons, which recently set up a Somerset branch, has opened a new office – at 1 The Guardhouse, Guardhouse Lane, in Wells.

The estate agency has been active in London and South-East of England for 30 years but wanted to expand to the South West. They approached local sales and letting experts, Kate Lewis and Alex Relf, to become managing partners and began trading in the Somerset area in 2021.

Lewis said: “The business has gone from strength to strength, including recently winning gold in the British Property Awards for customer service. We are absolutely thrilled to be opening a larger office after such a short time.”

The office is not a typical high street estate agent’s office. There will be no property photographs on the wall, just a relaxed and informal environment for clients to come and discuss their property needs.

Relf commented: “There are several long-established firms in the area, but we believe we offer something different. We take time to get to know our clients, and understand their reasons for selling, so we can help them with their next move. We are well known for our entrepreneurial style and attention to detail but our aim is always to put people first.”
