We pride ourselves on making the process of selling and buying property as smooth and efficient as possible by combining modern online marketing techniques with traditional local knowledge, exceptional customer service, and effective communication. We value the relationships we develop with our clients, and unsurprisingly, a significant portion of our business comes from referrals from previous clients.
Most people now begin their property search using their mobile device or laptop, so our agents utilise the internet to match your property with potential buyers or renters. Property websites are now a powerful force in the UK estate agency sector, and your property will be listed on premium sites using stunning photographs and compelling descriptions that will attract potential buyers of properties like yours. We also utilise Instagram and our own mobile-friendly website to promote your property.
VC Estates was founded by property experts David Foley, Alison Foley, and Adam Holdsworth, who share a passion for property and vast experience working in the UK, USA, and Europe.
Our network of agents across the South and South East of the UK also has extensive experience working in local residential and commercial property markets, with sellers, buyers, and landlords.

Estate agency service for property sellers in Southampton
A free, no-obligation home valuation is just the start of the professional services that we offer to property sellers.
Accurate targeting of potential buyers
Estate agents used to rely on home hunters travelling to their high street premises to select properties to view. Now we can use the internet to introduce potential buyers to your home using Instagram, our website, and other property websites like Rightmove. Of course, it is essential that all property details are accurate, attractive, and that prices and SSTC status are correct. Our agents routinely check and update all listings.
The visual presentation of your home
Your home must look visually appealing online with all its best features on display. Our skilled photographers will produce a portfolio of stunning images to promote your home. They may use drones to highlight the extent of your gardens and to showcase a spectacular location. They can also tweak pictures of your home to make it look its best.

Estate Agent for the rental market in Southampton
We offer two service packages to landlords in Southampton. One is for landlords who want to manage their tenancies, and the other is for landlords who would prefer us to manage them instead.
VC Estates agents work to the highest professional standards and the company is a member of the Association of Residential Letting Agents and of the Client Money Protection Scheme.
The ‘Let only’ package for landlords
This package is designed for landlords who want assistance in finding tenants but prefer to manage their properties themselves..
We will advertise your property, organise and attend viewings, carry out tenant reference and financial checks and transfer the tenants’ deposit to the TDS. Once the tenant has moved in, the landlord takes over and deals with all tenant and property issues for the duration of the tenancy.
The fully managed option
Some landlords prefer to be ‘hands-off’ and like ot take advantage of our fully managed option.
Our agent will advertise the property, find tenants and organise the administrative and financial aspects. Once the tenants have taken possession, we will conduct regular inspections of the property, organise repairs as necessary, and ensure rent is paid.
You can find testimonials about our work with landlords here.
Making your house move in Southampton less stressful
Moving house can be very stressful, but we have worked with a few companies and individuals over the years who we think can make the experience a little more bearable.
Our trusted partners offer a range of services useful to anyone moving home. They include surveyors, electricians and removal companies. We even know a great company that can help if your property is rented out as a holiday home.
You can find our complete list of partners here.

About Southampton
Southampton is a port city in Hampshire, located on England’s south coast.
Southampton is sheltered by the Isle of Wight, giving it a natural deep-water harbour. Its strategic location on the River Test estuary made it a vital maritime hub, and the city played a key role in D-Day during World War II.
The unfortunate RMS Titanic sailed from Southampton in 1912, and 500 of the people lost when the ship sank were inhabitants of the city.
The city is separated from the beautiful New Forest National Park by the River Test, a chalk stream.
The city is home to the SeaCity Museum, which focuses on Southampton’s maritime history, and the Solent Sky Museum, showcasing its aviation legacy. Westquay Shopping Centre and the Mayflower Theatre are major modern attractions.
Southampton has produced notable figures, including musician Craig David, TV naturalist Chris Packham, and former British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
