We’ve been perfecting our property selling powers over the past 16 years to ensure that when a buyer starts looking for a property, they contact us first.
11 estate agents for the price of one.
Why settle for one office when you can have eleven? Our branches work together, sharing buyers and opportunities to make sure every home we list reaches the widest possible audience.
All our offices are connected, sharing buyers and sellers to ensure our homes get max exposure.
Our team has you covered. No matter where your home is, each member of the team is commission paid to sell your home…
We offer a no stone unturned approach to our marketing, if it helps get more eyes on your home, we do it. Professional pictures, accurate floorplans, drone photography and video tours… all pushed across our online and offline marketing channels.
We aren’t a ‘put it on Rightmove and wait’ kind of agent. We pre-launch our homes as soon as you agree to sell with us, even before we take the photos. This enables us to test the market, secure off-market viewings to ensure that we achieve the maximum value by ensuring the whole market knows about your home.
During 2025, we sold more homes across the northwest than any other independent estate agency. Not bad.
We’ve been doing this for 20 years, we started in 2006 with an empty window and lots of leaflets! But, our mission has remained the same. We do what it takes to give our home owners peace of mind, that when they receive an offer via Ashtons. It’s the best in the market.

Not necessarily. You know the saying – ‘If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is…’ Typically, if an agent can afford to offer you a cheap fee it’s most likely because they remove important items from their service in order to make a profit (if they sell it).
We’ve noticed that some rely on limited property websites, produce poor marketing material and typically only have one office which is rarely staffed to handle the volume of inbound enquiries. All these items can have a detrimental effect on your homes exposure and final selling figure.
Valuing homes is pretty easy – with experience. And yes, we do see that we value some homes at the same price as other agents… but that doesn’t mean they will achieve that figure or the same figure we will achieve.
We hear it time and time again. ‘We sold our house to the first viewer for full asking price.’ To the unassuming homeowner, this is great news… but what if your buyer was the third viewer and your agent stopped viewings because they ‘have done their job’. Or, what if your buyer doesn’t check Rightmove on the day your home went live?
The good news is that we harvest buyer’s details for over 12 months prior to your home coming on the market… we match your home to our unbeatable database and circulate it across all our offices before it hits Rightmove to ensure maximum exposure. We ensure that every potential buyer has seen your home before accepting an offer and negotiate the highest offer possible. Surprisingly, not every agent does this!
We aren’t going to lie, Rightmove is a great website. But, according to our own surveys, websites only account for 60% of our home sales (this includes Zoopla and our own website). The other 40% of sales have been generated by our team introducing buyers to their homes first, ensuring maximum value and timescales.
Lots of agents rely solely on Rightmove to sell homes which means you could potentially only have a 60% chance of selling – or not achieve the highest sale price if your buyer is in the other 40% we have.
That’s fine, you are able to swap estate agents if your contractual period is over. You can also instruct a second agent to work alongside your existing agent if you like – you would only be liable to pay the winning agent a fee!
Something else to consider is that if your home has been on the market for a long time, buyers will know. Rightmove publishes ‘Marketed From’ dates on your advert which could have a negative effect on your marketing. Changing agents = new marketing date.
We don’t believe in charging more for better marketing — every home we list receives our full premium package as standard. Professional photography, floorplans, and high-impact marketing come included, ensuring your property is presented at its absolute best from day one.
Every home we market includes a professional video tour. By showcasing your property in full before a viewing, we attract more serious buyers and tenants — people who have already seen the details and are simply there to confirm they love it.
Delighted to once more be the Gold winners awarded by Rightmove and the Best Estate Agency Guide… for the 7th year running. Unlike every other industry award, every agent is included and considered. This gives you the reassurance that by instructing an agent within the guide they are rated within the top 3% in the UK… confirmed by Rightmove! Not bad eh.
