Estate agents in Upper Walmer

BRIGHT & BRIGHT is one of the oldest estate agencies in Kent, having been established over 100 years ago.

Roger Bright and his mother took over the established business of Frank Day & Co in 1952 and renamed the firm Bright & Bright. The history of Frank Day & Co can be traced back to just before the First World War with the firm moving to the present offices in Victoria Road in 1937. In the 1980s the business was sold to Mrs Pam Long. She then sold the business to Brian Thorpe who developed and expanded it further until 2012.

In April 2012, the business was taken over by the Colebrook family. Nigel Colebrook has over 50 years experience in estate agency and a very full and expansive knowledge of East Kent, its properties and the people who live and work here. Over the years he has dealt with some of the most important sales of individual, period and country properties (including The Salutation in Sandwich) in East Kent.

In April 2014 Nigel's daughter, Becky Lead, joined Bright & Bright and became a director.

The policy of the business is to provide a personal and professional service specialising in the sale of period homes, individual and country properties together with marine residences and cottages throughout the East Kent Area. Whilst retaining the firm's traditions and reputation, Bright & Bright keeps a keen eye on market trends and the future as Agency moves forward in the internet age and digital marketing.

Our agency has established itself as THE boutique agent to go to in Deal.

At Colebrook Sturrock we are proud of the award–winning reputation we have built around core values. We always act with integrity and honesty; these simple principles build strong relationships with our clients, which naturally develops into mutual trust. So much so, that repeat business or from personal recommendation, forms a major part of our activity.

Everyone at Colebrook Sturrock has a real interest in the people and property we work with and genuinely enjoy helping coordinate our clients move, very often from the first contact, right the way through to completion and beyond. Staff throughout our 8 offices are friendly and approachable and we are sure you will find them a real pleasure to work with. Furthermore, on a professional level, the Directors are qualified members of the National Association of Estate Agents and are members of The Property Ombudsman, which our clients find very reassuring.

It goes without saying, that selling a home can sometimes be a fraught and stressful process, particularly if the agent involved is not working closely with you every step of the way, or indeed has no motivation to do so. At Colebrook Sturrock we aim to guide you through every element of your move, aiming to make your move enjoyable, from helping you to prepare for a sale, to keeping you informed throughout the process. We welcome the opportunity of talking to you in more detail about how applying some of our principles and methods can make a real difference to your moving experience.
