SIMPSON AND WEEKLEY ESTATE & LETTINGS AGENTS

What SIMPSON AND WEEKLEY ESTATE & LETTINGS AGENTS does

Simpson and Weekley is a privately held estate and lettings agency operating as a trading brand under the Simpson and Partners Ltd group, headquartered in Rushden, Northamptonshire, with a second branch in Wellingborough. The firm serves residential buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants across North Northamptonshire — including Rushden, Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby, Thrapston and surrounding villages — through a 12-person team operating extended hours seven days a week. Its core products are residential sales (commission on transactions), full and tenant-find lettings management (recurring fees), new-homes listings with major UK developers including David Wilson, Barratt, Keepmoat, Bovis/Vistry and OEH Group, free property valuations, and financial services referrals through Simpsons Financial.

The business runs on a hybrid digital-and-field technology stack: properties are syndicated to Rightmove, the dominant UK property portal, listed on a bespoke company website, promoted by a dedicated social media team, and supplemented with Sprift video tours and a virtual/instant valuation booking tool. Distribution combines direct field sales (in-person valuations and viewings) with digital self-service channels including property alerts, an online valuation flow, and content marketing around regulatory topics such as the Renters Rights Act. Pricing is transaction-fee based for sales and recurring for lettings management; specific rates are not publicly disclosed.

The company is part of a broader group structure that includes sister brand Simpsons Property Experts (a hybrid franchise model for third-party operators), with no external venture capital or institutional investment disclosed. It has received the ESTAS Best In Postcode Award 2025 for the NN8 and NN10 postcodes based on verified client feedback, and is led by Directors Mark Weekley and Melanie Harris. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Belvoir Group: UK franchised network specializing in residential lettings, sales, and financial services. Direct comparable on multi-service residential offering and franchise-driven growth model.
• Martin & Co: National UK franchise network focused on residential lettings and sales for landlords and vendors. Overlapping franchise model and tenant-find/full management service mix.
• Hunters Property Group: UK estate agency operating a franchise-led network of local branches offering sales, lettings, and financial services. Highly comparable given the franchise model and overlapping product set (sales, lettings, mortgages, new homes).
• Newton Fallowell: Mid-market UK estate agency group with branch and franchise presence in the East Midlands and surrounding regions. Comparable regional estate agency offering covering residential sales, lettings, and mortgage services.

Emerging players

• Yopa: UK online/hybrid estate agent offering fixed-fee sales and local agents supporting viewings. Comparable as a digitally-led alternative to traditional high-street agents for residential sales.

Broad incumbents

• William H Brown: Long-established UK high-street estate agency chain under the Connells Group offering sales, lettings, and mortgage services. Comparable on offering but with national reach and greater resources.
• Countrywide: Major UK estate agency network combining high-street branches, lettings, and financial services. Comparable in offering (sales, lettings, mortgages) but materially larger and nationally distributed.
• Connells Group: One of the largest UK estate agency and lettings groups with a national branch network. Closely comparable on residential sales, lettings, and mortgage referrals, though operating at far greater scale and across a much broader geography.
