HOMECARE ESTATES LIMITED

What HOMECARE ESTATES LIMITED does

HOMECARE ESTATES LIMITED is an independent residential estate and letting agency operating as a sole proprietorship from a single office at 3 Ross Parade, Wallington, Surrey. Founded in 1991 and owned by Simon Capanda, the firm serves buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants in the Wallington, Carshalton, and Sutton micro-catchment on the Greater London/Surrey border. Core services include residential property sales, residential lettings, in-person and online property valuations, and a referral network covering mortgages, removals, surveys, and auctions.

The underlying technology stack is entirely composed of third-party SaaS integrations rather than proprietary systems: Dezrez powers property listings and agency management, ePropServices handles online valuation bookings, Fixflo enables tenant maintenance reporting, I am Sold provides auction services, and L&C supplies mortgage referrals. Customer-facing tools include an online property search with map-based "Draw Your Search" functionality, saved-properties shortlisting, area guides, and an active blog. The firm holds sector compliance memberships through Propertymark (NAEA + ARLA), The Property Ombudsman, Trading Standards Approved Code, and an exclusive Wallington-only membership in The Guild of Property Professionals.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based commissions on property sales, fees on lettings and tenant placement, and referral fees from ancillary service partners. The firm has 1-10 employees, no external investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Current listing inventory comprises approximately 51 rental properties and 1 sale property. Recognition in 2025 includes the British Property Awards Gold for Letting Agent in Wallington and Best Estate Agent Guide Top 500 Lettings status.
