The team is close knit, and family-run which inspires high moral throughout the company. Castle Estates was founded in 1982 by David Ellingworth, a building surveyor local to the area of Hinckley. His professional association with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors – a global body that sets the professional standards for the real estate, construction, land, and built environment sectors – has remained at the foundation of the business. Now, over 40 years later, David is fully retired, and the team has expanded to include his closest family members, who share his same vision: his eldest daughter, Hannah Trenfield and her husband Chris, and his other sonin-law Gavin Kirkham, who has been in the industry for more than 10 years. All with a passion for friendly customer service and open communication, they have each become an expert in the field. Moreover, the team have been sure to give back to their community within Hinckley. Just this year, Castle Estates formed a partnership with an incredible local charity, Hinckley Homeless Group. The charity’s mission is to help the Hinckley homeless community and runs a supported accommodation for young homeless people called the Lawrence House. On the company website, testimonials can be accessed that speak for the excellent services offered by Castle Estates. Jane Heaviside writes, “I would wholeheartedly recommend Castle Estates for their advice on how to present the house and when best to market it, their amazing photos and 3D tour, their great communication during the process and the swiftness in which it all happened. The staff are professional, welcoming, and always ready to give guidance.” Aldo Clay says, “A professional, friendly estate agents who are incredibly easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend their service.” Finally, a review from Russell Brewster describes Castle Estates as, “Simply the best. I have had the displeasure of using the services of many estate agents, and sadly were very typical of the reputation they have. How refreshing to accidentally come across the team at Castle Estates. They really have been fantastic, going way above what anyone could reasonably ask of them. The full team are personable and was so nice to chat to them. Special mentions to those that I had direct dealings with – Heidi, Gavin, Chris, and Hannah. If you want to get away from the stereotypical agents to a company that cares, has time for you, and are experts then please choose Castle Estates, they are super.” Contact: Gavin Kirkham Company: Castle Estates 1982 Limited Web Address: https://www.castles-online.co.uk
