Greenslade Taylor Hunt

What Greenslade Taylor Hunt does

Greenslade Taylor Hunt (GTH) is a privately held UK chartered surveying, estate agency, and auctioneering partnership founded in 1843, headquartered in Taunton and operating through 21 owned offices across Somerset, Devon, and Dorset, with a London connection via the Mayfair Office network. The firm operates across four core verticals: residential property sales and lettings; commercial property sales, lettings, and investment; farms, land, and rural estates (including a dedicated development land, planning, and architecture practice); and a multi-format auction division comprising traditional property auctions, the Sedgemoor Auction Centre in Bridgwater (the largest one-day livestock market in the South West, hosting weekly cattle, sheep, dairy, machinery and crop sales), and The Somerset Auction Rooms for antiques and collectables. Supporting professional services include RICS Red Book valuations, expert witness work, landlord and tenant matters, grants and subsidies, natural capital, renewable energy, and wayleaves/compensation advisory.

The technology stack is built on third-party platforms rather than proprietary AI: the Homeflow-powered gth.net website surfaces approximately 2,940 residential sale listings, 613 lettings, 427 farm and land listings, 205 auction lots, 39 new homes, 100 commercial properties, and 134 development opportunities. Property listings are syndicated to Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, and PrimeLocation; auction bidding is enabled through Marteye for agricultural machinery, the-saleroom.com for antiques, and in-house livestream plus eBay-style Online Timed Auctions for property; lettings maintenance is routed through Fixflo and tenant referencing through Rent4sure.

Revenue is generated through commission on residential, commercial, and farm sales; recurring monthly lettings management fees across Full Management, Full Management Plus (with rent protection and legal expenses cover), and Tenant Find tiers; transaction fees on property, agricultural, and antiques auctions; and professional services fees for valuations, planning, architecture, and advisory work. Go-to-market is sales-led via the owned branch network with enterprise field sales for commercial and developer clients; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans individual buyers/sellers, farmers and landowners, commercial occupiers and investors, developers, landlords, tenants, and antiques owners. Leadership is a partnership structure chaired by Simon Havens, with named partners across the Sedgemoor market, farm sales, machinery, and pedigree sections, plus qualified RICS, ARLA, and CAAV professionals, an in-house Gemmologist and Diamond Grader, and surveying teams covering planning, architecture, and dispute resolution.

Broad incumbents

• Connells Group: Largest UK estate agency group (parent of Countrywide) with extensive branch network, lettings, and mortgage services. Overlaps with GTH in residential sales and lettings but with national scale and corporate backing.
• Knight Frank: Global real estate consultancy with UK rural, residential, and commercial divisions. Competes for prime South West stock and London-linked buyers but operates across many more asset classes and geographies.
• Savills: Global real estate services firm with significant UK rural, residential, and auction operations. Overlaps with GTH across farm agency and prime property but at much larger scale and broader portfolio.

• Symonds & Sampson: Long-established Dorset and Somerset chartered surveyors, estate agents, and auctioneers with a similar multi-disciplinary offering across residential sales, farm agency, livestock auctions, and professional services. Closest geographic and service-line comparator to GTH.

Regional players

• Lambert & Foster: Kent-based chartered surveyors combining estate agency, farm sales, and auction operations. Comparable integrated rural property services model in a different UK region.
