SME News UK Enterprise Awards 2025/ 84 Most Trusted Local Estate Agents 2025 – Shropshire The historic market town of Church Stretton, which is situated in the hills of South Shropshire and close to the area of the England-Wales border known as the Marches, is home to some truly magnificent properties. With a population of around 4,000, the town offers a more relaxed lifestyle than big cities but still has plenty of amenities to enjoy. Wrights Estate Agents has been selling properties here since 1972, and not only is it the longest established estate agent in Church Stretton, but it also sells more properties. Below, we take a closer look at this trusted local estate agent. Having provided a professional and trustworthy service to the people of Church Stretton for almost 53 years, Wrights Estate Agents has established itself as a pillar of this community and the go-to estate agent for residential properties. The business was started by the father-and-son duo of Bill and Stuart Wright and has possessed its dual focus of residential sales and building-society services – such as savings, bonds, and mortgages – from day one. Stuart remains the proprietor of the business to this day, underpinning its reliability. From an office conveniently located in the heart of this beautiful town, Wrights offers a service that is equal parts friendly and professional, with its experienced and welcoming team always happy to lend a hand and go the extra mile for their clients. It is from this premises that Wrights strikes its signature balance between tradition and modernity, seen through its blending of age-old values like honesty and integrity with modern methods of working – including digital marketing and swift, transparent online communication. All of the properties Wrights has for sale can be viewed on Rightmove and OnTheMarket, demonstrating the company’s commitment to keeping up with the times and showcasing the homes of its clients to as many prospective buyers as possible, whether they are from the area or looking to move here. The local connections the company boasts, stemming from its deep roots in the region, also make it the best choice for sourcing everything from the best mortgage advisors and solicitors to tradespeople and other professionals. Moreover, as an independent estate agent, Wrights is able to create bespoke packages for clients and give them the attention they deserve – a far cry from the rushed and impersonal service provided by some of the bigger chains. These sales packages include everything a client needs to present their property in the best possible light, such as professional photography (including aerial photos) and marketing carried out by experts that not only know their craft, but also the local area – offering them a unique advantage. However, Wrights’ ties to the town go well beyond its knowledge of it, as Stuart also chairs the Church Stretton & District Chamber of Trade, reflecting his belief in supporting local businesses, charities, and individuals within this community. Wrights has also partnered with Bluestone Lettings – a local, independent, family-run business specialising in residential lettings – to provide services relating to rental investment, short-term letting, and more. This collaboration is another example of how Wrights nurtures trust. Despite its focus on Church Stretton, one area in which Wrights is certainly national is quality. This is seen through its memberships with bodies such as Propertymark, the industry leader in promoting high standards within the UK’s real estate market. Similarly, Wrights is also proud to be a Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) agency, demonstrating its dedication to putting people first. Unlike a bank, YBS has no shareholders it needs to satisfy, allowing it to focus exclusively on satisfying the diverse needs of its members. It is thanks to these distinguishing points that Wrights is today able to call itself the “number one selling estate agent in Church Stretton”, with the company ranking first out of seven branches in the area on Rightmove for agreed sales. As an extension of this, the company also promises it will not be beaten on price for a like-for-like comparison, something that stands it in good stead with discerning clients looking to get the most for their money in a market defined by fluctuations and uncertainty – even at the best of times. Ultimately, when it comes to property, actions speak louder than words. For more than 50 years now, Wrights Estate Agents has been acting with distinction, serving the needs of its clients and positioning itself as a beacon of knowledge and trust in Church Stretton. As a result, it is our privilege to recognise the company with this title in the 2025 edition of our UK Enterprise Awards 2025, celebrating it for the example it sets.
