About Us
Wellstead & Wellstead Independent Estate Agents are a family owned professional practice run by resident partners Stuart and Lorraine Wellstead a husband and wife team both born and educated locally. Already well established property professionals in the local area having independently pursued successful careers achieving managing director and directorship roles with major leading local companies before breaking away to join forces and open their own business in Ferndown in early 1998. Stuart and Lorraine have between them over 56 years Estate Agency experience in the local area and were quick to become one of the leading forces in the town covering a 25 mile radius.
Already a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents since the 1980's during 1998 Wellstead & Wellstead were selected by the Guild of Professional Estate Agents as their exclusive members for the Ferndown area for providing both high quality marketing and maintaining an exceptionally high professional standard of service.
In 2001 Wellstead & Wellstead pooled resources with a small percentage of the Guild of Professional Estate Agents membership and together opened major premises in Park Lane, Mayfair, LONDON W1 to facilitate the marketing of local properties from a prime position close to the Marble Arch junction with Oxford Street in the West End of London. Thus a much higher proportion of potential purchasers from London and the Home Counties were introduced directly to the properties marketed by Wellstead & Wellstead resulting in a higher volume of sales being generated for their vendors.
Business continued to increase rapidly with several additional staff being recruited and culminating in the need for larger premises. Towards the end of 2004 much larger and more prominent premises were acquired at the junction of Victoria and Ringwood Roads the centre of the main shopping thoroughfares which after major renovation and refurbishment were relocated to in June 2005.
Now firmly established as market leaders in Ferndown with the 2 resident partners, a branch manager, 3 senior negotiators, 2 full time secretaries and 5 part time receptionists making up the winning team and all concentrating solely on residential sales unlike the vast majority of their competitors who have far less staff whilst also dealing with lettings, property management and financial services etc.
