A better way to run a beautiful house

Here is a situation almost every owner of a significant house knows. You bought the place because you love it — the garden at seven in the morning, the way the light falls in the hall. And then, slowly, the house became a job. Contractors to chase, alarms to test, a boiler that chooses Christmas Eve, staff to manage, invoices you sign but never quite believe.

EstatePros exists for exactly that moment. Professional private estate management for roughly half the £81,000 true annual cost of employing your own estate manager — without giving up an ounce of control or quality. You see every plan, every contractor invoice at cost, every decision that matters. What you give up is the chasing, the supervising and the worrying. What you get back is your free time, and a house that simply works.

Where we learned the standard

Our founder learned the trade at some of the most demanding private residences in the UK and Europe — Athlone House in North London, Villa Lou Pinea in the South of France and Il Tesoro in Tuscany among them — ultimately as Chief of Staff.

And it was never a one-person show. Everyone on our team arrived by the same road — years spent inside serious houses and serious projects. Property managers who can read a plant room the way others read a novel. Project managers who deliver on the day they promised, to the standard they promised. Finance people who treat your household budget as if it were their own money — and negotiators who regard a supplier's first price as a polite opening remark. Meet the people behind the calm.

What we look after

The House

Maintenance, compliance, security and emergency response — handled before they become your problem.

The Grounds

Gardens, pools, tennis courts and everything green, growing or leaking.

The Household

Staff, administration, deliveries, contractors and the diary that runs it all.

Every estate management service, under one roof

The heart of it is ongoing care — housekeeping, appliance and systems maintenance, and repairs dealt with while they are still small. Gardens and grounds run on their own seasonal calendar, because nothing says "well-run estate" like a garden that looks effortless.

Around that core, add what your house needs: household staff management with every legal check carried by us, budgeting and reporting that shows where the house has quietly been overpaying, security at every level — up to a physical presence — insurance fought for at claim time, and even art and interiors, sourced with dealers and designers internationally.

We attend — quietly, punctually, and to the standard the house deserves.

One message, any hour

When something needs attention — a leak, a warning light, a gate that will not close — you should not have to remember whom to ring. With us there is one habit: send a WhatsApp message or an email, whatever the hour, and consider it handled.

Quick response matters in property maintenance, and so does knowing exactly whom to send. Our contractor database, built over years of managing luxury properties, means the right vetted, insured tradesperson reaches your house fast — at cost, with no markup, ever.

For landlords

If you let a property, we can represent you as fully as you wish — from tenant liaison and maintenance through to complete day-to-day property management and lettings support.

The aim is a win/win tenancy: smooth for the tenant, effortless for you, and protective of the asset underneath it. Tell us about your property and we will suggest the right level of involvement.

Projects, from first sketch to final snag

When the house wants more than maintenance — a redesign, a replanning idea, an extension, a new pool house — we organise the whole journey: planning permissions, architects, construction site management, project management, quantity surveyors, snagging, handover and post-project care.

You approve the vision and the budget; we manage everything between the idea and the finished room. And the best way to see whether we fit your house is the oldest one: invite us over. An hour together at the house, no charge, no obligation — then a written scope and one fixed monthly figure within five working days.
