Welcome

A few words from the founder of the company, Mr Bacon...

We are a well established and customer friendly company who have earned a reputation for high levels of client care and always aiming to give our very best.

Myself and fellow Letting Director, Hayley Scammell, have been involved in the property industry for over 65 years between us and this stability has encouraged many landlords to utilise the expertise available. In addition, there are several long standing members within the Letting Team who have nurtured the growth. I am often told by established clients that seeing a ‘familiar face’ has enhanced their customer experience when dealing with our company. We understand the importance of your investment and hope this brochure helps outline the key elements when letting your property. We look forward to being of service.

Glenton Bacon FNAEA MARLA.

A few words from our clients...

Your professionalism and client care reinforces my decision to select your firm to manage my property.

Thank you all for being an excellent Letting Agency, we will be sure to recommend you to friends as you are very professional at what you do.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hayley, Geoff, Vanessa and all of your team for your help and assistance over the last 10 years we have been tenants of Bacon and Co.

I would like to thank you for all your help and support over the last few years, your professionalism has made the whole process a pleasure.
