Our story
A family-run agency, built around people, property and Tunbridge Wells.
Independent and owner-led. Deep local knowledge, senior advice on every instruction, genuinely premium presentation and modern marketing technology — under one roof in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.
We bring together what most agencies split apart.
A long-established local agency, now a modern, independent sales and lettings business — owned and run by Mike Heath and his sister Gemma Collins, with Tom Snowdon as Sales Director. Mike leads lettings and property management; Gemma and Tom lead sales. Nicholas Heath, who shaped the independent business, remains founder and consultant.
We answer the phone. We know the roads. We run the instruction ourselves — and because this is our town, we live with the result.

Why we do it
We don’t just list a house. We get the result the family behind it actually needs.
What we believe.
Homes deserve better presentation.
Photography, copywriting and an art-directed launch — not phone snaps on a portal. Presentation is the first negotiation.
Clients deserve senior advice.
The person who values your home markets it and negotiates it. No hand-off to a junior the week contracts move.
Landlords need compliance-led management.
Lettings is a legal responsibility before it is an income — referencing, certification and the Renters' Rights Act, run properly.
Sellers need strategy, not just a listing.
Pricing, timing and audience change the outcome. We sell with a plan and a number we can defend.
Local knowledge still matters.
The road, the catchment, the buyer profile. We work the town we live in — that's where the knowledge is real.
