At Sansome & George we have successfully operated locally for many years and, as a family run business, we pride ourselves on providing a personal service. This is crucially important in providing our sellers and buyers with continuity and “hands on” knowledge and experience as well as providing the reassurance of people and a brand they can trust.
As the second generation “Sansome” in the business (my father is still actively involved on a day to day basis) I am very proud of our tradition and longevity in the local property market.
Of course, our business has grown and we now operate from seven local branches. We have also embraced changing technology to ensure that our people have more time to spend with clients and customers, understanding their individual requirements and delivering the levels of service one would expect from a professional Estate agency.
Our offices handle both sales and lettings and our clients and customers benefit from the synergy between these two disciplines which will often see transactions prosper as a result of our combined approach. I hope this brochure gives you an understanding of the efforts we undertake in order to achieve the maximum price for your home. Kind regards
Estate Agency
at its best!

“Estate Agents are much maligned but I have to say that the service I received
from yourselves was first class, with David in particular being amazingly helpful at the latter stages of the sale.
I would highly recommend your services to any prospective seller”
Mr H
We bend over
backwards
for our customers!
but don’t just take our word for it... read what our customers say
“Very profession
al service from s
tart to end. Alwa ys
sorted out any p
roblems very prom
ptly and worked
hard on behalf of t
he tenant. Very am
iable staff who
paid attention to deta
il and had a practical a
nd realistic
approach. Would r
ecommend the M
ortimer Branch to
all those looking t
o rent a home”
Mrs C
“...from start to finish you have
been totally outstanding in the
selling of our home. It can be a
very stressful process but you
have made it so much easier for
us, always at the other end of the
phone answering any questions
or worries we have had”
Miss H
I chose to Sell my house via Sansom
e & George on the basis of them being a reputable local es
tate agent. Mark handled my sale very profes
sionally and what I thought would be an anxious and
lengthy wait turned out to be very quick. My first viewing was in 3 days and I received the amo
unt I hoped for my property.
Mr S
“I don’t write reviews very often and I never thought I w ould be writing a very positive one about a
n estate agent. I have to say that the whole experience was positive
. Any hitches were instantly resolved and he went the extra mile to k
eep the whole chain informed at all of the time. I have no he
sitancy in recommending Nicholas at Sansom
e and George. Professional,
hardworking, approachable and tho rough”
Mrs G
Having Sold our previous house through
Sansome & George we had no hesitation in using them
again for our last sale. In fact we did not even seek other quotes or valuations. Our house was valued extremely well and a buyer was f
ound in 10 days. The house photo’s were some of the best
promotional photo’s we have seen of any house and all the services and advice we received w
as both honest and correct.
Mr B
“Simply the best! I have just moved i
nto a new house in Mortimer after a searching for almost a year. Throughout that year I have
been dealing with Nick Smirthwaite – n ot only has he helped me find the \’right house\’
but he also helped me secure a mo rtgage. Nick is totally honest and straightfo
rward to deal with – he is 100% professional
at the same time as being a nice guy! I have no
hesitation in recommending Sansome and George (and Nick) to anyone who i
s looking in the Mortimer area”
Mrs W
“I have now sold 2 properties through Sansome and George via their Mortimer and Basingstoke branches. I have found the service offered to be of a high quality with a real focus
on finding the right purchaser. David Sansome in particular has a
wealth of knowledge
and has some excellent qualities which are reflected in the staff employed at Sansome and George. I would have no hesitation in asking Sansome and George to sell future properties for Eldercare Property Partners and my clients”
Mr R
“It took 12 months to sell my house bu
t at all times Nick was very kind and helpful. He remaine
d positive when I felt negative and managed to cheer m
e up when I thought that the house would never sell. He n
ever once pressurized me and I always very confident that he would eve
ntually succeed in selling the house. At the e
nd of the transaction things became very “hairy” but once a
gain he never panicked and was able to get to the ro
ot of the problem and resolve the issues so that the exchang
e could take place. I have no hesitation in recommending h
im to sell your house. He was always very polite and courteous
and I was thrilled to hear that he has been promoted to A
rea Manager”
Ms W
“Our apprehensions about selling our house were soon dismissed after meeting with Nicholas Smirthwaite. We were right to be positive. I can’t believe we are saying this about an Estate Agent, but he has been nothing but outstanding. He was always punctual
for the viewings, and very personable with the prospective buyers. Being part of a relatively long ‘chain’ and the concerns that brings with it, has been made easy by the regular reassuring updates on progress. Towards the exchange of contracts he has also shown his ability to be very proactive and solution centred ensuring
obstacles are quickly fixed. I have no hesitation
whatsoever in recommending Sansome & George and in particular Nicholas Smirthwaite”
