Martin & Pole

A Legacy of Trust in Berkshire Since 1846

We aren't just another estate agency. Martin & Pole represents a unique chapter in the history of the Wokingham and Reading property markets. Incorporating Watts & Son (est. 1846) and Nicholas Chartered Surveyors (est. 1882), we have been providing expert property advice for over 160 years.

Our longevity isn't just a number—it is a testament to our professional status. As Chartered Surveyors, our first duty is always to you, our client. We operate under a strict code of ethics where your interests come before our own. In a crowded market, we offer a genuine, professional alternative built on integrity and deep-rooted local knowledge.

Why Homeowners and Investors Choose Us

We believe that the most important part of any property transaction happens between the negotiation and the completion. While other firms might pass you off to a 'sales progression department,' we do things differently. At Martin & Pole, our senior staff maintain direct contact with buyers and sellers throughout the entire process. You get the benefit of our most experienced minds from start to finish.

The Region’s Leading Property Auctioneers

We are proud to be the most experienced property auctioneers in the area. While others may have only recently adopted this method, we have 'flown the flag' for auctions for decades.

• Bespoke Marketing: We create individual brochures for every auction property rather than bundling them into a generic catalogue.
• Integrated Expertise: Our Auction Department is located in our busy Wokingham office, ensuring our residential and commercial teams work side-by-side to find the right buyers.
• Specialist Reach: We specialise in individual properties, land, and redevelopment opportunities across Reading and Wokingham.

More Than Just Bricks and Mortar

Our service extends inside the home. Our Chattels Auction Rooms have been a Wokingham fixture for over 150 years. This unique service allows our clients to handle property and contents valuations with a single phone call. Whether you are managing a deceased estate or downsizing, our suitably qualified personnel provide expert advice on antiques and household effects with fees that are significantly more competitive than London auction houses.

Professional Lettings Management

With over 100 years of experience in residential lettings, we understand that a high-quality tenant is the foundation of a successful investment. We use our considerable experience to carefully vet prospective tenants, ensuring your property is respected and your rental income is secure.
