Having opened our first office in Guildford 20 years ago, we know both the area and the local property market inside out. A historic market town situated on the doorstep of the glorious Surrey Hills, Guildford is a wonderful place to live, with its cobbled high street – filled with high-end retailers, bars and restaurants – thriving local economy, and excellent transport links to all points across the UK.

Our complete range of residential and planning services includes buying and selling, valuations, financing, surveys, and interior design.

Buying property in Guildfordtoggle-icon

There’s a variety of property in Guildford, from luxury new-build town centre apartments to Victorian terraces and handsome family homes. Over the centuries, Surrey has gone through mixed fortunes, which is reflected in the town's architecture. In the areas we cover, there is an abundance of 15th and 16th century houses, when the county was full of wealthy merchants.

Further into the countryside, you’ll discover pretty cottages, picture book villages, farms, and country estates. Over the past decade, property values have enjoyed a steady rise, with hotspots including Pewley Down, Merrow, and Burpham. Demand also remains high for homes near outstanding-rated schools, and the town’s bustling centre.

With property price rises in the area showing little sign of slowing, working with a knowledgeable local agent can help you position your property effectively.

Guildford in 60 secondstoggle-icon

Guildford’s history dates back to Saxon times, and its character is reflected in its architecture: from the cobbled high street to the imposing Guildford Castle, thought to have been built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century.

Aside from its historic charm, Guildford is forward-facing: a hub for business and innovation, with a strong presence in the technology and professional services sectors, supported by the The University of Surrey and Surrey Research Park. The town boasts excellent shopping, dining, and cultural attractions, with the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and G Live supporting a buoyant arts scene, complemented by a variety of festivals and community events, from farmers' markets to music festivals featuring local artists.

The surrounding county offers the excellent options for leisure, from racing and pre-West End theatre productions, to top-class golf courses, vineyards and county cricket. Schooling is another draw, with options for both private and state students including the Royal Grammar School, Tormead and the Guildford High School for Girls.

Being surrounded by the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there's no reason to leave. But with direct train services to London Waterloo taking less than 40 minutes, as well as easy access to major roads leading in all directions, Guildford is easy to escape – and easy to return to, as most of its residents do.
