Imagine a property agency built around YOU
Honesty
Start with the basics.
Giving you our honest opinion, not what we think you want to hear. Hows that for different?
Results
Through innovative strategy and bespoke solutions, we ensure you get the best results. Its simple, but not easy.
Empathy
Agencies typify a conveyor belt service, missing your perspective and priorities.
We're different. We've been in your shoes.
We've been buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants ourselves and not only understand your view, but live it. Our goals are aligned with yours, and our success only comes from you succeeding in yours.
Service
Estate agency shouldn't be a "sales job" but a service. We are dedicated to giving you personal care and attention, guiding you through your property journey with expertise and care.
One stop shop
From sales to lettings, sourcing to management, we have you covered; plus more. Need help finding an investment in London- we got you. Want to hire a local chef for your dinner party or need a roofer whom you can trust - we know who to call. Need lawyers, mortgage brokers or surveyors, we know a few good ones.
This is what estate agencies should be like!
Make the best decision for you and your home. Choose Veritas Estates as your agent, where we look after your interests.

We had an exceptional experience working directly with Christo Yotov at Veritas Estates. As an international family relocating to the area, we were anxious to find the perfect home. Christo has deep knowledge of the local market, provided valuable insights, and was always keen to listen and understand our needs. He was always readily available and willing to answer questions. We highly recommend Christo for all of your realtor needs within the Cobham/Surrey Hills area.
Excellent service. Very knowledgeable and considerate to my needs. Highly recommend!
Thank you Christo for giving me a wonderful overview of the area and helping me understand the nuances of the various regions. This is knowledge that one can only gain from someone who has a thorough knowledge of the area in question, which you certainly do have !
Very professional and responsive managing agents; the best we have worked with over the last 12 years.

Frequently asked questions
You asked, we answered. Have a look at some of the most asked questions and our replies.
Why use Veritas Estates over a high street brand?
Because high-value property deserves more than a high-street approach. At Veritas Estates, you deal directly with an experienced advisorânot passed from junior to junior. No bloated teams, no generic marketingâjust sharp strategy, personal service, and results tailored to the calibre of your property.
What is your sales sale commission?
We have 2 different payment plans. A success only fee of 1.5% + vat or a second more alternative approach: a lower fee of 1% +vat where half is payable upfront, and the other half on a successful exchange.
Why 2 structures?
Both are in some way only due on success but in success only, we carry all the cost and risk of marketing and the vendor is free to change their mind and stop marketing at will (subject to some terms). This leaves the agency out of pocket for both cost and time. This risk of loss means we have to change a risk premium. Other agents wont tell you this, but thats why fees are what they are.
The lower, alternative cost is a reduction in risk premium, so a reduction in your fee too. The vendor still has the ability to change their mind, but now the cost of that change of mind is not carried by the agent, so we are able to offer lower pricing. Risk goes down, price goes down.
What are your Lettings &Â Management fees?
We offer 2 simple choices:Â
1. Tenant Find where we source a high quality tenant, vet them, set up the tenancy, hold the deposits in the relevant government schemes and collect the rent; all for 10.8% + vat of the annual rent.
â
2. Our Let &Â Manage service is where we do all the above, plus look after your property with our spectacular management service. All for 15.6% +Â vat. This is not only the best value proposition but also likely to get earn you a higher rental rate as typically tenants prefer managed properties to give them peace of mind and pay a premium for it.
Whatâs the average time to sell a house?
This greatly depends on the situation. A sale to someone in a chain could take considerably longer than a non chain. A mortgage buyer takes longer than a cash buyer. Typically, the buyers we see are chain free but with a mortgage, lender dependant, it often takes between 3 - 6 months from start to completion. This varies massively based on complexity - buying in a trust, selling from an offshore company, etc.. all adds to the timescale but its something we are familiar with and can handle with ease.
How long does it take to find a tenant for my home?
Depends on the season but lettings tend to be much faster than sales. The exact timing is also subject to market conditions but 1-2 months is quite typical from engaging with us to having a tenant sign a tenancy.
Whats "Different"? All agents are the same!
No.
We approach each transaction individually. For some clients the priority is speed. For others its price. Some want discretion, others mass market coverage. Sometimes its a combo - those are really tricky. Its never one size fits all. Want to know more in depth, get in touch and we can discuss in depth how we stand head and shoulders above the rest.
