We have been selling property in Chesterfield since 1997 and were formerly known as Spire Estates. After joining the Hunters group in 2017 the business has grown from stength to stregth and specialises in helping people BUY - SELL - LET & RENT property in the Chesterfield area.
With over 90 years combined industry experince our staff are fully trained under the Hunters Training programme.
We understand that it’s frustrating having to pay agent fees when your home has been on the market for months.
That’s why you only pay us when we’ve sold or let your property. That way, we’re proactive and driven to get you the best results for your property.
We pride ourselves to be friendly and professional, being clear & transparent in everything we do. On top of that our telephones are answered by real people 24 hours a day so we never miss an enquiry about your property sale.
Selling houses is not just about being online. Our fantastic town centre offices offer the best estate agency window in town with a prominent High Street presence, modern & welcoming reception. Buyers and sellers alike are welcome to call in to discuss any property matters 6 days a week.
Choose from an online valuation to get a rough overview, or we can visit your property to give you an accurate assessment.
Park in any town centre car park & walk toward the foot of the Crooked Spire – we are 100m towards the high street – you cant miss us!
