What Ibbett Mosely does

Ibbett Mosely is a Kent-based, multi-discipline property firm founded circa 1900, operating as estate agents, chartered surveyors, and associated property service providers. The firm runs six branches across Kent (Sevenoaks headquarters, Borough Green, Otford, Tonbridge, West Malling, Westerham) and serves residential and commercial clients across Kent, Surrey, and East Sussex. It maintains separate sub-brands for commercial property (ibbettmoselycommercial.co.uk) and fine art and chattels auctions (ibbettmoselyauctions.co.uk), with a residential property website powered by Homeflow that includes an instant online valuation tool.

The service offering spans residential sales, lettings and property management, commercial agency, fine art and chattels auctions, chartered surveying, town planning, and architectural services. The partnership holds chartered credentials across all major disciplines (FRICS, MRTPI, FNAEA, FNAVA, ARLA) and includes a registered architect, enabling integrated delivery of agency, professional, and design services under one roof. The tech stack is largely third-party: the customer-facing website, CRM, and valuation engine run on Homeflow; there is no disclosed proprietary technology platform.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: percentage-based commissions on residential and commercial sales transactions, recurring fees from lettings and managed property portfolios, professional fees for surveying, planning, and architectural mandates, and auction commissions on consigned lots. The customer base is highly fragmented — individual homeowners, buyers, tenants, landlords, and small-to-mid commercial occupiers — with no enterprise anchor clients. The firm is a private partnership with no institutional, PE, or VC backing, and growth has been funded internally and through the acquisition of competing branches.
