Sutton Kersh

Sutton Kersh, estate agency in Liverpool

Sutton Kersh is an estate agency operating in Liverpool and its metropolitan area, in Merseyside, with more than forty years dedicated to the sale and rental of homes. The firm presents itself as a leading agent in the region and structures its activity around four main areas: residential sales, lettings and property management, property auctions and block management.

The company is part of the Countrywide group, which describes itself as the largest estate agency network in the United Kingdom, with around 1,400 branches nationwide. This integration expands the potential market for the properties it markets, by connecting with buyers relocating from other areas.

Residential sales and property valuation

The residential sales area relies on its own marketing techniques and marketing activities aimed at giving visibility to each property. The agency offers a free, no-obligation valuation to determine the market value of the property and advises on the most appropriate route to achieve the best sale price. Services linked to buying and selling include registering buyer requirements, buying guides, surveying services and area guides.

For owners who want to sell, the firm details a service package, a selling guide and the possibility of requesting a market appraisal. It also manages new build developments.

Lettings and property management

In the lettings segment, Sutton Kersh presents itself as one of the leading management agents in the area. For landlords it offers two options: let only and full management. The company states it has an extensive customer database that allows it to find tenants quickly, and for tenants it maintains one of the largest rental property portfolios in Liverpool.

Lettings activity includes services for tenants such as a guide for prospective tenants, information on the tenancy agreement, emergency repairs and registering requirements. For landlords, the applicable statutory requirements and management fees are detailed.

Property auctions

Auctions are one of the house's specialities. The agency publishes auction lots, sales by tender or draw, results of auctions held and upcoming auctions, as well as accepting instructions for new auctions. It offers information on dates and venue, a live link to the auction, legal documents and registration to bid, along with guidance for both buyers and sellers considering this route.

The firm publishes the results of its auctions: it notes that its first auction of the year reached £5 million, that it had accumulated sales of over £30.8 million so far that year with 254 lots sold, and that its second auction of the year recorded sales of £7.5 million. The auction scheduled for 3 November 2026 was announced with a live stream and a live auctioneer, with remote bidding only via prior registration and no in-room bidding; the catalogue closed on Friday 2 October.

Professional services and other areas

In addition to residential agency, the company provides professional services including surveys, mortgages, property management and block management, and commercial property marketing. It also offers conveyancing services and maintains a mailing list for interested clients.

The sales offices and lettings offices are distributed across these same areas, and the firm has dedicated teams for auctions, surveys, mortgages, property and block management, and marketing and public relations.
