Getting the best deal for you

We take great care to employ and retain the right people and train them thoroughly. Our expert valuers have intimate knowledge and understand the property market in your area. As a result of this insight we always achieve the best deal for our clients.

Boards

The Gibbs Gillespie hang man board is perhaps the most recognisable in estate agency. We've refined it over the years to the point where it works as hard as we do, attracting househunters instantly.

Making life easier for househunters

We are open for business 7 days a week from 9am to 7pm Monday to Thursday, 9am to 6pm Fridays, 9am to 5pm Saturdays and 10am to 1pm Sundays and Bank Holidays. We even chauffeur househunters to your door to ensure they arrive on time and in a relaxed and positive frame of mind.

Brand Advertising

The strength of Gibbs Gillespie is our reputation, and the awareness among people of who we are and what we stand for. Crucially for our clients, our brand is instantly identifiable. Househunters know to look for the Gibbs Gillespie logo. When you let your property with Gibbs Gillespie you benefit from the association - not only will advertising for your property be readily seen by tenants, it will be just as readily trusted.

Harnessing the internet

gibbs-gillespie.co.uk is the most visited website of all local estate agents. The internet is growing rapidly as a marketing tool, allowing a great deal of interaction between househunters and your property. We've invested heavily in making ours one of the best in the business, featuring floorplans, multiple photos, video tours, location maps, aerial views, full colour brochures, local information and much, much more, but we won't stop there. When you list your property with Gibbs Gillespie we'll also ensure it appears on the top property portals including rightmove.co.uk, primelocation.co.uk, findaproperty.co.uk and zoopla.co.uk.

Local Press

We enjoy a wonderful relationship with our media partners, The Leader, The Observer and The Watford Free and do more than anyone else to guarantee great placement of our ads in the local newspapers. That's another benefit of being big. Our agents are purpose trained in the art of photography and we also employ datographers (professional photographers and floorplanners) to paint the best picture possible of every property we advertise all in just one visit. Our newspaper advertising leaps off the page, the famous Gibbs Gillespie branding acting as a beacon for househunters to follow.

Regional magazines

In magazines such as Optima and Rickmansworth Life, our ads have huge impact and are widely admired for their design, concise information and exceptional photography. For dramatic effect nothing beats a full page, but a variety of size options provides flexibility to suit every property.

We have your tenant surrounded

With more than 10 offices all working together, the chances of us finding tenants for your property are much better than those of a single office alone. So the first marketing tool we have at our disposal is our network. Each office will distribute your property details to potential tenants, so from day one your property is literally in the hands of more househunters. Our offices co-operate fully in this regard, because we offer a financial incentive by pooling our sales commission. It's called sharing, and strangely it's unique to Gibbs Gillespie.

Our own Just LIsted magazine

Gibbs Gillespie's Just Listed magazine has an enormous readership each month and is distributed throughout Middlesex and Hertfordshire. Eye catching photography and a stylish layout showcase your property in its best possible light, and an informative lifestyle section means your home stays in front of readers longer.

Online matchmaking

[befirst] is our online property match system. Put simply, when somebody registers with [befirst] they will be emailed information about properties they might be interested in renting. The properties they receive will match the details they submitted when they registered. The benefits to the househunter are enormous; they'll only be sent relevant property details, they don't have to worry about missing a property and they'll know about properties new to the market even before they're advertised. The benefits to the landlord are just as important, with your property landing in the 'inbox' of househunters everywhere.

Property Management

When you appoint Gibbs Gillespie to manage your investment property you can relax knowing that someone who is organised, purpose trained and fully conversant with The Landlord and Tenant Act and changes to legislation will attend to every detail. Our experienced Property Management department looks after over 500 properties on behalf of our clients in the UK and around the world, relieving clients from the constant responsibility of being a landlord. In fact, many of our corporate and military tenants prefer managed properties.

Professionalism

Gibbs Gillespie is an ARLA Licensed Letting Agent and a member of The Property Ombudsman, The National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS) and complies with the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme. These memberships provide landlords and tenants with an assurance that they will receive the highest level of customer service.

Military and corporate tenants

Military personnel and corporate tenants on a company move are quite simply the best around. They are highly motivated professional people, usually with the resources and backing of the company at their disposal. Uniquely, every Gibbs Gillespie office has been selected as designated 'Relocation Centres' by Cartus, the largest relocation company in the world, giving us first and preferential access to these top quality tenants.
