Our Service
EXCELLENT LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Our gimmick is – we have no gimmick. Our repeat business comes from word of mouth….The best kind of advertising!
UNRIVALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE
We pride ourselves on our communication with our vendors, landlords, purchasers and tenants and we are committed to offer assistance with the property buying or renting business wherever we can to make the experience easier for all parties concerned. We are always on hand to discuss the process and we never stop at ‘offer agreed’ stage, we see the sale through to completion, often the most challenging part of the process.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
FRIENDLY EXPERIENCED STAFF
Our long serving staff and experienced negotiators, who know their market, can offer advice in a realistic, professional and knowledgeable manner to provide honest recommendations.
If we don’t have the information to hand, then we can readily obtain it, as we know where to go to seek out required information or advice. Rather than spend our time pestering other estate agents’ vendor clients, we devote our time to our owners and applicants.
Marketing
Inclusive professional photography and floor plans. Latest software suite to make sure your photographs are the best they can be. Our sales details are designed for the property in question with detailed actual information not just bare essentials. We have flexibility in presentation to suit customer’s needs.
ONLINE INTERNET ADVERTISING
With an increased number of buyers now starting their property search online, we understand the importance of ensuring maximum on line exposure. We promote properties through our main website www.arthur-wheeler.co.uk and on major property portals, such as: Rightmove and Zoopla.
ON STREET BOARDS
Our own distinctive branded boards for our client’s property.
Fees
EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY
We believe our service is excellent value for money and we include many features that other agencies charge additionally for, such as, individual sales details with many photographs, floor plans and competitively priced EPC’s.
COMPETITIVE
We also offer a transparent competitive fee structure for both selling & letting. No Hidden Charges and No Sale No Fee. We don’t start with a fixed fee based on an inflated asking price and then not reduce it when the sale price is lower, as many agents do! We don’t have tie-ins with Solicitors or Conveyancers that you have to use, but we can recommend good local firms and we don’t earn fees for referrals to them.
NO UPFRONT OR INSTRUCTION FEES
When appraising properties for sale we always give our experienced & personal opinions and never knowingly inflate the value to gain the instruction. We also cover the costs for the preparation of sales details and other marketing charges, unless additional advertising is agreed with the Client
ACCOMPANIED VIEWINGS
We don’t charge add-ons for extra services. Such as photos, floor plans, AND accompanied viewings
So, WHEN DO WE GET PAID?
We only get paid upon results once a vendor completes the sale on their property, whereas with companies like online agencies you pay them even if they don’t sell your property. That’s money wasted. Also there is no incentive for them to work hard to get a sale through and sort out any problems or issues because they take their money regardless of results. We only get paid on the right result.
LEGAL & FINANCIAL SERVICES
We DO NOT provide a legal or financial service as we believe our clients should have the opportunity to choose their own advisor. However we can make recommendations to experienced professionals who we would be happy to use ourselves.
The Team
ANDREW WHEELER
MNAEA. DIRECTOR
I have lived and worked all of my life on this wonderful Island. I started my estate agency career in 1985 with a local independent firm and have been an AWEA for over 25 years, most of that time as a Partner/Director. I have a wealth of experience in residential sales and an extensive knowledge of both the rental market & commercial sales and I will expertly negotiate the best price for all clients.
DARREN GRIFFIN
SALES MANAGER
In 1998 after a spell as an account manager for a customer service and sales performance company I found I missed the interaction directly with the client and the challenge of seeing a house sale through to completion. In 2007 I started working at Arthur Wheeler Estate Agents and within a short time I progressed to Sales Manager. I really enjoy going that extra mile for our clients and applicants by passing on my knowledge and experience to ensure a satisfactory conclusion.
“you are stars!! Many thanks for all your hard work towards selling our home. We couldn’t have managed it without you-or do it so quickly-ad without feeling hassled”

SUE DAVIDGE
LETTINGS MANAGER
Having worked in Residential Lettings since 2010 I have gained the experience and knowledge required to manage a busy lettings department. I enjoy helping clients and dealing with the daily challenges letting entails. The most rewarding part of my role is when the keys are handed over to one of our many rental properties. Outside of work I enjoy keeping fit and spending quality time with my growing family.
IAN THOMAS

Here, at Arthur Wheeler Estate Agents we pride ourselves on being independent and experienced agents.

Although I no longer work in the business on a day-to-day basis, I do continue to operate in a consultancy role.
