Goundrys Estate Agents

What Goundrys Estate Agents does

Goundrys Estate Agents is a privately held, family-run estate and letting agency operating in Cornwall, United Kingdom, under the legal entity Treleaven Developments Limited. Founded in 2004 by Andy Goundry, who has been an estate agent since 1986 and a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents since 1996, the firm serves individual residential buyers, sellers, landlords, and commercial property clients across mid and west Cornwall, with physical branches in Truro (headquarters) and St Agnes (added via the 2009 acquisition of Lee & Co). The service portfolio spans residential sales and lettings, a dedicated landlord property management book of more than 300 rental properties, a Commercial department covering hospitality, retail, catering, licensed and manufacturing businesses, and a Prestige sub-brand targeting high-end residential properties with drone photography, 360-degree virtual tours and narrated video tours.

Revenue is generated through transaction commissions on residential and commercial sales, recurring management fees on the lettings portfolio, and ancillary fees on acquisitions and business transfers. The company distributes through its branch network, a self-serve website with property search and a free Instant Online Valuation tool (valuation.goundrys.co.uk) that performs automated comparable-property valuations to capture leads, plus email/newsletter marketing and customer review aggregation. Operational technology is light: the website, the AVM-style valuation portal, and a Fixflo integration for tenant maintenance issue management. The firm is Propertymark licensed and GDPR compliant, with no external investors, subsidiaries, or parent company identified.
