Estate & Letting Agents in Colchester

Gallant Richardson was founded in Colchester in 1993 by John Gallant and Mark Richardson, both highly experienced estate agents who previously ran the well-known Sheen & Richardson group.

In 1994, Andy Wade joined the business, initially focusing on mortgages and the financial aspects of buying, selling, and investing in property.

By 2001, we had expanded into lettings and property management, quickly establishing a strong reputation as one of Colchester’s leading specialists in the rental market.

Today, with John and Mark retired, Andy runs both the sales and lettings divisions alongside his brother Tim Wade, who manages the team. Together with a group of long-serving and highly experienced staff, they continue to build on the company’s strong foundations.

Our vision has always been clear: to provide an honest, transparent service backed by professional advice and a commitment to outstanding customer care.

Whether you are selling, letting, buying, or renting, our highly qualified and approachable team is here to guide you through the process and ensure you receive the best possible experience.

Choosing a licensed and regulated agent is essential. Gallant Richardson is a proud member of:

• Propertymark ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents)
• Propertymark NAEA (National Association of Estate Agents)
• The Property Ombudsman (TPO) – adhering to its strict Code of Practice for both sales and lettings

These accreditations ensure that our clients—landlords, tenants, buyers, and sellers—receive fair, professional, and independent support, with access to free dispute resolution should it ever be required.
