Hobbs Parker Property Consultants

We are not just another property firm; we are a Kent institution. With a history stretching back over 170 years, we have grown into the region's largest independent firm of estate agents, auctioneers, and chartered surveyors. Whether you are selling a cottage in Tenterden, planning a major residential development, or looking for expert agricultural advice, our multi-disciplinary team provides the local depth and professional breadth you won't find elsewhere.

A Legacy of Expertise in Kent and East Sussex

Our roots are deep in the local soil. Operating from our purpose-designed auction centre at Ashford Market and our offices in Tenterden, we serve a diverse range of clients across the South East. We pride ourselves on being approachable experts who understand that property is about more than just bricks and mortar—it's about livelihoods, investments, and homes.

Navigating the Complexities of Planning and Development

Our professional services team is led by experienced chartered surveyors and planning consultants who specialise in unlocking the value of land. We don't just give advice; we deliver results. We assist clients with:

• Residential & Commercial Planning: From initial appraisals to successful appeals.
• Listed Buildings: Specialist advice for heritage assets and conservation areas.
• Development Land: Managing option agreements, promotion agreements, and high-value land sales.
• Valuations: RICS Red Book valuations for probate, finance, and matrimonial requirements.

Specialists in Rural and Agricultural Property

We have a dedicated team focused on the unique needs of the farming community. Whether you are managing a 300-acre estate or a small amenity paddock, we provide the technical expertise required for modern land management. This includes navigating environmental schemes, managing farming tenancies, and handling compulsory purchase compensation claims.

The Region's Premier Auctioneers

Auctions are in our DNA. We host over 150 sales a year, creating a competitive environment that consistently delivers outstanding results for our clients. Our expertise extends far beyond property:

"From classic cars and marine vessels to livestock and farm machinery, our auctions draw buyers from across the country to the heart of Kent."

We conduct traditional on-site auctions, modern online-timed sales, and specialist dispersal sales for businesses and farms. This versatility ensures that whatever asset you are looking to sell, we have the platform and the audience to achieve its true market value.
