East of Exe & West of Exe

East of Exe & West of Exe: estate agency focused on Exeter and East Devon

East of Exe & West of Exe is an independent estate and letting agency whose name reflects its geographic focus: it works on homes on either side of Exeter and the River Exe. The agency states that it deliberately limits its market to Exeter and the surrounding towns and villages so as not to spread itself too thinly, and presents that local concentration as the basis of its knowledge of the local property scene. Its own account describes it as a newer concept in estate agency founded by people with long prior experience in the sector, after around fifteen years working with traditional agencies.

Sales, lettings and property management

The core activity is selling, letting and managing properties in Exeter and East Devon. On the sales side, the agency markets residential homes ranging from flats and retirement apartments to detached houses and waterfront properties, and presents itself as a team committed to customer service. For lettings, it positions itself as an option for landlords considering renting out a property and for tenants looking for residential or commercial premises in the area. The site also includes a landlords section covering agency agreements and fees and a guide to renting out property.

Commercial property, land and investment

Beyond residential work, the agency handles commercial property sales and lettings, offering market valuations and negotiation of prices. It also advertises land and provides advice to investors, whether first-time buyers entering investment or owners expanding an existing portfolio, aimed at identifying opportunities and meeting financial objectives.

The property portfolio shown

The listings published on the site illustrate the spread of the agency's activity. Sale properties include bungalows, chalets, town houses, cottages and apartments across Exminster, Topsham, Lympstone, Clyst St Mary, Woodbury, Ebford, Mamhead and various Exeter neighbourhoods such as St Leonards, Newcourt, Polsloe and the city centre. Asking prices in the material range from around £120,000 for a retirement apartment in Topsham to £1,750,000 for a five-bedroom detached residence in St Leonards. Rental listings include houses and an annexe in Exeter, Topsham, Lympstone and Tedburn St Mary, with monthly rents from about £1,200 to £2,700. Commercial entries include freehold buildings in Exminster and mixed residential and shop premises.

Three offices across the area

The agency operates from offices in Topsham, Exeter and Exminster, each with its own telephone line. It also maintains a separate enquiries address for the West of Exe side of the business. The team is presented as living and working in East Devon, which the agency cites as the reason it can advise on matching a property to a buyer's or tenant's requirements.

Recognition and community involvement

The agency was a finalist in the Exeter Living Awards 2019, a detail it highlights in its own presentation. Its site also references charitable work, events and sponsorships, and includes a section on the areas it covers.
