Martin & Pole

Over 160 Years of Property Excellence in Berkshire

We aren't just another estate agency. Martin & Pole represents a legacy of trust and professional integrity that dates back to 1846. By incorporating the historic firms of Watts & Son (est. 1846) and Nicholas Chartered Surveyors (est. 1882), we offer our clients a depth of knowledge that is simply unmatched in the Wokingham, Reading, and Earley markets.

Our longevity is a testament to our approach: we combine traditional values with modern marketing technology to ensure your property journey is seamless, whether you are buying your first home or selling a complex commercial portfolio.

Why Our Chartered Status Matters to You

As Chartered Surveyors, our first duty is always to our client. This professional status sets us apart from standard high-street agents. It means:

• Integrity: No decisions are made for our personal benefit over yours.
• Expertise: Our advice is grounded in rigorous professional standards.
• Accountability: We operate under a strict code of conduct that protects your interests.

"Our professional status, longevity in the market, and our range of services combined offers people a genuine alternative."

The Region’s Most Experienced Auctioneers

We have been flying the flag for property auctions for decades, even when others doubted the method. Today, we are the most experienced property auctioneers in the area, specialising in individual properties, redevelopment opportunities, and land across Reading and Wokingham.

Unlike other firms that bundle properties into generic catalogues, we provide individual brochures for every auction property, ensuring your asset gets the specific attention it deserves.

A Unique Service: Chattels and Antiques

Our expertise extends beyond the four walls of a building. Our Wokingham auction rooms have been established for over 150 years. This allows us to offer a truly comprehensive service: if you are handling an estate or moving house, we can provide expert valuations for both the property and its contents (chattels) in a single phone call.

A Hands-On Approach to Sales and Lettings

We believe the most critical part of any sale is the period between the offer and completion. That’s why we don't use anonymous "sales progression departments." At Martin & Pole, our senior staff maintain direct contact with buyers and sellers throughout the entire process.

In our Lettings department, we bring over 100 years of experience to the table. We understand that while rental income is vital, the quality of the tenant is the most important consideration for any landlord. We use our century of experience to carefully vet prospective tenants, ensuring your investment is in safe hands.
