A local estate agency that actually gives a duck.
We do more than list homes, we work hard to sell them.
An agency you can trust.
Moving home is not just a transaction. It is often emotional, stressful, exciting, uncertain and deeply personal. Behind every valuation, viewing, offer and set of keys, there is a person, a family, a story and a reason for moving.
That's where we come in. Because at Bourne & Co, we sell the humans (occasionally poultry), not just the service. We are here for you from the very first hello, right through to completion.

Honest advice, backed by our fee.
Plenty of agents will tell you what you want to hear to win your business, then push for a price cut a few weeks later. We refuse to work that way. We price your home on the evidence, and we put our own fee behind that advice.
Instruct us at our recommended launch price, and if we ever advise reducing it, we cut our fee by the same percentage as the reduction.
Your figure comes from completed sold prices and a 100-point check, never a number designed to flatter.
If our advice turns out too high and we recommend a cut, our fee drops by the very same percentage.
Honest guidance from day one, whether or not you decide to sell with us. The evidence does the talking.
Applies when you instruct us within 2.5% of our recommended launch price. Any fee reduction matches the recommended price reduction during the accountability period. Full terms are provided with your valuation.

Fantastic Family Home
A beautifully presented four bedroom detached home, offering generous living space, stylish contemporary interiors and excellent outside space within the ever popular village of Lanchester.
People who trusted us with their homes.
Bourne & Co treated us like family. They really do care! This is not your stereotypical estate agent!
They even called us 3 months after we moved in to check if we'd settled. That tells you everything you need to know.
The whole experience was made so much easier thanks to Simon & his team. I could not have survived without them!
