Fine & Country Drayton is run and managed by local staff, with extensive experience in estate agency in the Portsmouth, Drayton and South Coast area. Local people may already know Managing Director Colin Shairp, who has been an agent in Portsmouth since 1986, yet the whole team had experience in the local market before joining the Drayton branch when it opened in 2009. Their belief that the area needed a quality brand, where both owners and purchasers could experience better customer service, superior marketing materials and a personalised marketing strategy has proved correct.

Many thanks for your kind comments, despite the general public's perception, not all estate agents are the same. We are driven to achieve the best price and to provide a fully encompassing rounded service. Comprehensively marketing homes and securing a buyer are only two parts of the job, progressing the transaction through to a suitable closure is also fundamental. ...
