About Us

Traditional Agent
in a Modern World

James Pyle established James Pyle & Co in late 2012 having been brought up with the family business based in the Cotswolds. At the age of 21, James joined a surveyors practice, progressing through to managing offices for a London based agency and then becoming a director of a large estate agency firm in Wiltshire. Since going ‘solo’ in 2012, James Pyle & Co has become a highly regarded and uniquely identifiable brand, which has grown organically largely through recommendation and word of mouth. Family owned and run by James, his wife Sam, and Rosie, their daughter, we have a loyal team of 10 employees with bags of experience and enthusiasm and a sheer determination to help our sellers and landlords achieve the best prices and get the best service possible.

Local Knowledge with International Coverage

There is no doubt Estate Agency changed completely in the ‘90’s by advertising properties on the Internet, enabling local agents to promote properties and reach buyers in the four corners of the world. We use all the major portals including Rightmove, Zoopla, On The Market and Primelocation to ensure your property is widely and expertly advertised to the whole of the market.

We also pride ourselves on our local knowledge. We know the walks, sports clubs and grounds, local and mainstream shops, doctors, schooling, clubs and activities and of course, the local pub! Our team doesn’t just ‘do viewings’ but we really understand the area as well as detailed knowledge of every home and why we should live here.

Our Offices

Our main office is based in the delightful Cotswold village of Sherston, on the Gloucestershire and Wiltshire border, some 5 miles from the market towns of Tetbury and Malmesbury and within 10 minutes of Junctions 17 and 18 of the M4. Westonbirt Arboretum and Badminton Estate are on our doorstep as are the cultural cities of Bath and Bristol (20 minutes away).

London Office - The Guild of Property Professionals

We have been chosen as exclusive members of the Guild of Property Professionals, with a head office at 121 Park Lane, Mayfair. The Guild comprises a network of 800 offices across the UK referring buyers to us on a national scale. Our exclusive membership makes us part of the largest and award winning independent network of offices in the UK with over 800 member offices allowing us to promote your property nationwide and source buyers across the UK.

Office Coverage

We cover a wide area across the southern Cotswolds, mainly in the counties of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire and occasionally further afield having successfully sold property in Bristol, Wales and London too. We are passionate about our market towns, villages, the Stroud Valleys, Painswick and its surrounding villages.

Office Hours

We operate traditional office hours, yet we are fully supported by a local business taking our overspill and out of hours calls ensuring our phones are answered 7 days a week until late, meaning we never miss a call.

Our Professional Standards

We are proud members of several professional bodies including the NAEA, NFOPP, ARLA and we abide by codes of conduct set out by the Trading Standards Institute, The Property Ombudsman and HMRC. All our staff are continually trained and assessed by the above bodies to ensure we operate at the highest levels in the industry.
