Pettyson

Petty Son & Prestwich, established in 1908, is an estate agency with a history spanning over a century, positioning the firm as one of East London's oldest estate agents. The company's origins trace back to Leytonstone, where it was founded by C. Petty, a locally recognised builder. Initially operating under the name Petty and Son, the business was subsequently managed by C.

Petty's son, Charles, a chartered surveyor. Under Charles's direction, the firm cultivated a strong reputation within the local community and experienced growth. The company's expansion led to the inclusion of Harry Prestwich as a partner, at which point the firm adopted its current name, Petty Son & Prestwich. This partnership broadened the services offered to include estate agency, auctioneering, and surveying.

In 1912, Petty Son & Prestwich further solidified its presence by opening an office in Wanstead, becoming an integral part of the East London town. The firm continued its development, and in 2008, during its centenary year, current directors John and Jenny Wagstaff assumed leadership. Further expansion occurred in 2014 with the establishment of a branch in Buckhurst Hill, West Essex. Petty Son & Prestwich provides a comprehensive range of services to its clientele, which includes sellers, buyers, landlords, and tenants.

The firm's offerings encompass sales, lettings, and property management. Additionally, the company delivers services in surveying, financial advice, and refurbishment and development. These services are designed to assist clients with various property needs, from initial valuations to the complete management of residential properties. The firm's property management options are structured to accommodate different levels of investor involvement, including 'Let Only,' 'Rent Collection,' and 'Full Management' services.
