About the partners


STUART MANSFIELD

Starting as a junior at Hampton & Sons in the 1970’s at Guildford & Cranleigh, my career rapidly progressed. I moved on to Arnold & Son in Dorking in the 1980’s becoming Branch Manager, and stayed in that role when the company was purchased by Halifax Property Services, moving to their Reigate office as Branch Manager in the early 1990’s.

In 1994 I returned to the Independent sector with White & Sons, Dorking, and remained there until 1998, when I accepted an invitation to join Lane’s Letting Services to work with my former colleagues from Reigate Halifax Property Services days.

For the following 7 years I thoroughly enjoyed specialising in another field of estate agency and being part of the growth and success of Lanes Letting Services, and I supported the company through the acquisition by Leaders Limited over 2004/05.

Those years have provided a strong foundation from which to build further and it is with pleasure that I now join in partnership with my wife, Elizabeth, to form our own independent lettings business in the Reigate/Redhill area.

ELIZABETH MANSFIELD

From my first employment at RH & RW Clutton, East Grinstead, in the 1970’s, my career in residential property progressed with Taylor & Tester, becoming the Branch Manager of their East Grinstead office when the company was acquired by the Leeds Building Society in the 1980’s. 

I was then delighted to return to the independent sector by joining Howard Cundey & Company as Branch Manager of the Bletchingley Office, Nr Redhill, and spent most of the 1990’s developing the business, including the conception of an associated Lettings company. At that time I was known locally as Liz Ayles, my previous married name.

Remaining in Surrey, then followed a period at White & Sons, Horley, until a fortunate opportunity attracted me to work in the Country Property sector in West Kent – which included several very enjoyable years with Cluttons, becoming an Associate Partner and Residential Branch Manager based at Tunbridge Wells, overseeing the Sales and Lettings departments.

However,  I am now delighted to return to this area of Surrey to join with Stuart in the creation of our new exciting partnership venture.

STUART & ELIZABETH IN PARTNERSHIP


Co-oincidentally, just as Liz was joining White & Sons, Stuart was leaving to join Lanes Letting Services - but there was just long
enough for us to meet!  A year later we were married – a 2nd marriage for both of us.  Each with a lifetime’s career in property and each ready for a new challenge, it has been a natural progression for us now to join forces in our working lives as well.  We are delighted to have this exciting opportunity to work together, combining our individual experiences gained over long careers in the field to the advantage of our new company and our clients.  We almost don’t like to admit it – but our combined property careers amount to over half a century of knowledge and experience!!!
