Hats off to Kenton Budd and his wife Tracey who are going from strength to strength with their stylish estate agents, right in the heart of Chichester’s bustling city centre.
When this enterprising pair took the brave step of launching their own business, they’d a clear vision of how they wanted their office to look.
Kenton, who has worked as an estate agent in Chichester for 23 years, explains: “We were determined that it should be a lovely, laid-back and very welcoming space – a real home from home.
“Deciding to buy or sell a house is a big decision, and we want our clients to be able to come and spend time mulling over their options with us, in a relaxed, unpressurised environment.”
Tracey, who has a keen eye for colour and interior design, has certainly worked her magic. As well as embracing the charming character features of this historic building, she has injected an eye-catching mid-century feel into the previously dated scheme.
She says: “When clients sit down on our comfy sofa or armchair, they often comment that it feels as though they’ve just walked into a cosy living room, rather than a stark office, which is exactly what we wanted.”
With many properties on the books and houses selling like hotcakes, there’s no doubt that this friendly, hardworking couple are more than making their mark in the area.
They definitely get my vote for the most elegant and approachable estate agents around…a breath of fresh air!

Kenton Budd client, Simon Slater, says: ‘I strongly recommend that before deciding who should sell your house, you speak to Kenton Budd.
Along with over 20 years of experience, he brings almost- forgotten, much-missed and old-fashioned values to the business. He is courteous, patient, reassuring and has such an enthusiasm for the job at hand that sometimes I felt it was his house, not ours, that he was selling.
Kenton goes that extra mile and then some, and that really does make a world of difference.’
