  Martin Wilkins

  Principal

  Martin opened Martins Estates in 1991. Coming from a financial services background, Martin realised that many of the local independent agents were being taken over by the corporate chains, banks and building societies and saw an opening for an independent local agent offering a range of services including sales, lettings, financial services and conveyancing. With over 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, Martin also heads up Martins Estates sister companies The Independent Mortgage Centre and Independent Property Lawyers. Having joined the Financial Services Industry in 1981 with Imperial Life of Canada I have remained in that industry ever since. I found I had a great interest in property and the acquisition of it. I majored in the Mortgage market obtaining a wealth of experience in the underwriting of various lenders and their schemes. Whilst remaining in the industry I soon set up my own Estate Agency adding a Lettings department soon after. Eventually I formed our own Mortgage Brokerage and have since added a conveyancing Company. I have an holistic approach to home ownership and we can now sell a house, arrange the finance on it, do the legal work to acquire it, protect it through mortgage protection insurance, let it out and manage it. Our clients can take advantage of all of these or just one. I still major in mortgages and really enjoy the contact with clients which keeps me grounded and my knowledge fresh.
