About Us

Our Story

The business was founded by Peter Curchod as an independent Chartered Surveying practice in 1938, in the Grade II Listed former Dower House in Church Street, Weybridge.  This fine Grade II Listed building continues to operate as Curchods Weybridge residential Sales and Lettings office today.

The second office opened in the nearby Surrey village of Ottershaw in the mid 1980’s, expanding into residential sales and lettings markets.

 

Curchods Sold To John Slatter & Andrew Dewar

After many successful years Curchod & Co – which continues to this day as a totally separate and unconnected company providing Surveying and Commercial property services – sold their residential sales business to John Slatter and Andrew Dewar – two trusted, private individuals who shared similar high professional values and a passion for the property business which they still possess today.

In May 1990 John and Andrew rebranded the residential sales business ‘Curchods’ and together became Joint Senior Partners of the new company.

John Slatter
Joint Senior Partner

“When we acquired Curchods in 1990, we did so because it was a business of integrity, recognised by its clients for ‘adding value’ to their sales transaction by delivering honest and professional advice, something that still forms the basis of our company ethos.”


 

Despite the early 1990’s being the worst housing market recession since the 1930’s, the dedication to providing excellent service by experienced estate agents proved to be a winning formula.

The business took off, quickly and methodically expanding to 12 sales offices along with Land & New Homes and Financial Services divisions.

Andrew Dewar
Joint Senior Partner

“We inherited a brand of outstanding professionalism and integrity with tremendous customer loyalty. It was our mission to safeguard and develop these critical three components as we developed and modernised Curchods.”


 

In 1998 the partners purchased Barton & Wyatt in Teddington and after keeping the respected name for a few years rebranded it as Curchods to become part of the Curchods network. Shortly afterwards, the Shepperton practice of Wyatt & Sons (no relation to the former Teddington business) was purchased, bringing the total number of offices to 13.

Later the Head Office in West Horsley was added, which today is still home to our Land & New Homes Department, in-house Marketing Department and Mortgage Services.

 

Acquiring Burns & Webber Estate Agents

In 2007 Curchods expansion continued with the acquisition of the most highly respected business of Burns & Webber. With offices in Cranleigh, Farnham, Godalming and Guildford, this brought us to a total of 19 branches.  Burns & Webber enjoy an excellent reputation in the towns and villages in which they operate and whilst retaining their original identity, they are incorporated into the Curchods network, receiving the same training and monitoring from the Joint Senior Partners.

 

Acquiring Lords Estate Agents

In May 2014, Lords Estate Agents was purchased and the Ham and Kingston upon Thames offices were rebranded under the Curchods name, completing coverage of the geographical areas between the existing offices at New Malden, Teddington and Esher and bringing the total number of offices to 24. The purchase of Lords Estate Agents also expanded our range of services into Residential Lettings.

 

We have never been the cheapest agent on the High Street, especially true today with the advent of almost ‘do it yourself’ online offerings, but our hope is that clients will see the true value of our service when they see the effort we put in to support, advise and guide them through every step of the way, whilst maximising the true value of what will likely be their most expensive asset.

– Andrew Dewar, Joint Senior Partner

 

Expanding Into Residential Lettings

In June 2014, Curchods continued to expand the lettings side of the business by acquiring an established independent lettings portfolio based out of Weybridge. Since then we have grown the business into the market leading lettings agency in the area.

Our Walton Lettings office opened in February 2014 and is the home of our dedicated Property Management team which is a central point of contact for tenants and landlords for all our lettings properties. Our Lettings Division has gone from strength to strength, opening a new branch in Guildford under the Burns & Webber brand.

In December 2016 Curchods acquired another residential lettings business and took over a portfolio of properties managed by Aspire Lettings based in Weybridge.
