About Us
At Residential Estates, we bring over 35 years of experience and innovation to the property industry. Founded as a traditional high street estate agency in the historic city of Chester, we’ve grown far beyond our local roots to become a multi-faceted property company serving clients across the UK.
Around 15 years ago, we identified a growing demand for high-quality corporate short-term lets. What began as a local offering soon evolved into a core part of our business. Recognising even greater potential, we expanded further a decade ago by establishing a dedicated property investment division. This allowed us to offer a truly unique, end-to-end service—sourcing the right properties, offering them to investors, managing them long-term, and even providing exit strategies when the time is right.
Our investment arm quickly became a cornerstone of our business. We don’t just sell property—we curate and manage opportunities. We understand what makes a property work from both a corporate and long-term letting perspective, because we’re invested in the outcome too. The better our clients’ properties perform, the more we can reinvest into sourcing strong opportunities through our network of trusted developers.
Over the years, we’ve built lasting relationships with reliable developers, solicitors, and financial advisors, giving our clients a seamless and supported experience. Our in-house Client Care Team ensures that every investor receives expert guidance and consistent support from reservation through to completion and beyond.
One of our proudest milestones has been the growth of our property management company, Guestz, which now oversees a portfolio of approximately 130 properties across the UK. Guestz was born from the desire to simplify and enhance the property journey for our investors—making it not only simple but also profitable.
At Residential Estates, we continue to grow because we listen, adapt, and always look ahead. Developers now seek our insights on where and what to build for optimal returns. We’re proud to be shaping the future of property investment by delivering thoughtful, strategic, and hands-on solutions for our clients.
