What Quintons does

Quintons is a private UK commercial property consultancy headquartered in Newbury, Berkshire, trading as Quintons Commercial and Quinton Edwards (legal entity: Quintons Commercial Ltd, company number 4607203). Founded in 1998, the firm operates with 1-10 employees and serves commercial property owners, tenants, and lending institutions across West Berkshire with selective national coverage. Its operations are distinctly traditional: no proprietary technology platform is disclosed, and the firm relies on chartered surveyor expertise and RICS-registered valuer credentials to deliver a full lifecycle of commercial property services.

The company's core services include commercial property sales and lettings, acquisitions, RICS-compliant valuations, rent reviews, lease renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, property management (delegated to its related entity Deal Varney), business rates advisory, Energy Performance Certificates delivered by Dip NDEA-qualified assessors, dilapidations and schedule of conditions, and PAS 79-format fire risk assessments. The revenue model combines commission-based transaction fees on sales and lettings with professional services fees for advisory and compliance work. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, driven through direct office engagement at Newbury, a website property search portal covering 30+ South East locations, and email outreach to registered prospects.

Ownership is concentrated among the founding/management team, with no external investment or PE/VC backing identified. Key principals include Shane Prater (surveyor and energy assessor), Tom Price (commercial property agent and energy assessor), Tash Chamberlain, Patsie Ellestone, Tina Wherry, and Mandy Winter. The firm is GDPR-compliant, RICS-registered, and operates as a going concern with a 25-year track record as of 2023.
