REAL PEOPLE
REAL SERVICE
Every home is different and every reason for moving is personal, which is why we don’t work to a set formula. We take time to get to know our clients; how they live and how they see their future.
Understanding the reason for your move is the best way for us to help you take the next steps on your journey, giving you direction and guidance at every stage.
Our expertise in negotiation and local knowledge are among the many reasons our name is so well known and respected throughout the West Country.
From the first meeting, our experienced valuers and negotiators work hard to help you on your property journey, paving the way to achieving a successful sale.
With a strong network of offices spanning Somerset, Devon and Dorset, we work together as a team to reach more potential buyers for your property
Not only that, but our presence in London through our Mayfair Office widens the net to capture interest from buyers from London, the Home Counties and nationally.
With over 180 years of property expertise behind us, there isn’t much we can’t advise you on - at any stage in your life. From lettings, auctions, survey & valuation, development, planning & architecture, to antiques, house clearance and probate valuations, we can help.
“ We were very impressed with the honest and open answers we received to our questions and by the overall quality of professional help, guidance and advice. One very satisfied and happy customer with the GTH experience.”Caroline Wallis-Newport Sold in Burtle, nr Bridgwater
TWENTY FIRST CENTURY ESTATE AGENTS? Definitely.
Since Mr W R J Greenslade laid the foundations for our firm back in 1843 the property market, and GTH, has not stood still.
While the marketing and presentation of homes has seen a significant evolution, our clients’ motivations for moving are much the same as they always have been.
We see it as our job to capture a buyer’s imagination, and in reality, the decision to buy a house often only takes about 10 seconds. Sometimes you just get a feeling when you walk through the front door
Which is why we insist on high quality photography for our brochures and website, enticing a buyer to want to see more by booking a viewing.
Drone photography and video footage can also be used to enhance the presentation of your home.
Our website and social media channels are popular stops for those looking to move to or within the West Country. We make sure your property is visible at every opportunity, not just on the major portals such as Rightmove and OnTheMarket.
Buyers can book viewings and provide feedback via our website, meaning we never miss an opportunity to capture interest in your property.

We're here to make the process • easier •
Selling can be daunting, but with us taking the lead with the intricacies of selling your property, it will free up some time for you to think about the practicalities. Some things to consider...
APPOINT A SOLICITOR
They will need the deeds so that contracts can be issued smoothly and they are helpful for us when preparing the particulars.
GATHER DOCUMENTATION
Having copies of receipts, warranties and guarantees, service records etc to hand can help avoid delays later on.
HAVE YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER
If you are purchasing another property, having plans in place (deposit funds or a mortgage offer in principle, for example), helps you with budgeting and can be an advantage when making offers to the seller.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
There is no set time between the stages of moving. A number of things can make an impact on the timeframe such as the sales chain, the location of the buyers and other unforeseen circumstances that crop up.
WHO NEEDS TO KNOW?
Ahead of completion you will need to get some things in order, such as final meter readings, collecting in all the spare keys and your removal arrangements. Aside from family and friends, there are also a number of places you need to notify of your change of address; the list opposite is a helpful start.
