About Oliver Chandler, Salisbury

62 Castle Street, Salisbury, SP1 3TS

A property team built on firm foundations

Jamie and Faye launched Oliver Chandler in January 2018. But, as one of Salisbury's newest estate agents, they've already become one of its most successful.

However, their story together goes back much further than that!

Collectively, they have more than a couple of decades of property sales and property lettings experience around Salisbury between them to offer you. All of which is built on unrivalled local knowledge.

Faye grew up in the New Forest just to the south of Salisbury, while Jamie's family moved to the area when he was 13 years old. They grew up in the same village and became firm friends while attending secondary school in Fordingbridge

The best of rivals

From a standing start in 2006, Jamie then developed a successful career in property sales in Salisbury, working for some of the city's leading estate agents.

Faye began her career in the same year but focused on property lettings. She spent time in London and Salisbury, rising to be area manager with one estate agent and lettings director of another. During this time Faye became Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) qualified.

In fact, for many years Faye and Jamie worked directly opposite each other, for competing Salisbury estate agents. But, having often talked about joining forces and starting their own agency, and with their 40th birthdays looming, they finally took the plunge. In January 2018 they launched Oliver Chandler to specialise in property for sale and property for rent in Salisbury and the surrounding area.

Integrity and innovation

In a competitive market it's difficult to differentiate between estate agents. However, what sets Oliver Chandler apart is their belief in combining old-fashioned quality, service and value with new technologies to rapidly match the right property for sale or rent with the right people, for the right price.

Their reputation is such that most of their early growth has come almost exclusively through recommendation and referral.
