Brock Taylor

What Brock Taylor does

Brock Taylor Limited is an independent estate and letting agency registered in England and Wales (company number 6365897; VAT 914696594), serving buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across Horsham, Haywards Heath, Southwater and the surrounding West Sussex villages. The company is headquartered at 2-6 East Street, Horsham, with a second branch at 26 The Broadway, Haywards Heath. Operating with 11-50 employees and led by Managing Director Peter Maskell (35+ years of property experience, 17+ years operating in Horsham), the firm holds sector accreditations from NAEA, ARLA Propertymark, the Guild of Property Professionals and the property Ombudsman scheme.

The business operates a traditional full-service agency model spanning three core revenue streams: (1) residential property sales on a commission basis, (2) residential lettings and ongoing property management on recurring fees to landlords, and (3) a specialized Land & New Homes service for land transactions and new-build sales. Supporting service modules include a two-tier property valuation product (a 5-minute instant online estimator plus a free in-person expert appraisal), an online auction platform, and a suite of self-service financial calculators (mortgage repayment, stamp duty, rental yield, rent affordability). Customer acquisition is sales-led and executed through a hybrid of physical office presence, local SEO, content marketing via area guides and blog posts, email property alerts, and organic social on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

The strategic positioning is built on durable local brand equity — over 40 industry awards including 15 consecutive years of the UK Property Awards 5-star Best Estate Agent in Sussex — and on hyper-local market knowledge with staff living and working in the area. In 2024 the firm announced an exclusive partnership with John Lewis Horsham to cross-promote property and home-furnishing services. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no public revenue figures and no international footprint; operations are concentrated in West Sussex, England.
