Our story
Independent roots. Fresh outlook.
Proudly owned and run by Chris Dean, Anthony Brown, Gavin Amberton and Andy Moran, Chantries & Pewleys is Guildford’s largest independent estate agency — built on decades of hands-on experience, genuine local knowledge, and a shared belief in doing things properly.
Both founded in 2009, Chantries and Pewleys operated as two respected businesses before merging in 2020 to form a network of four offices across Guildford, Merrow, Shalford and Cranleigh.
We’re an independent agency with a modern approach and traditional values at heart — honesty, integrity, and real care for the people we work with. Across our offices, we collaborate daily, share insights, and celebrate every move together.
We don’t just operate in Surrey — we’re part of it. You’ll find us sponsoring local events, walking the Surrey Hills, or bumping into clients (turned friends) at the coffee shop. It’s this close connection to the area that helps us tell each property’s story in a way that truly resonates.
With a creative marketing approach, a calm confidence, and a little local magic, we help you move — not just with ease, but with excitement.
We live locally, we care deeply, and we go the extra mile — because this is more than property to us. It’s personal.
Modern thinking, traditional values.
At Chantries & Pewleys, our purpose is simple: to elevate the experience of buying and selling homes in Guildford. We combine traditional integrity with a modern, design-led approach — because great service shouldn’t mean outdated thinking.
Integrity, always.
We believe honesty builds lasting relationships — with our clients, our buyers, and our community.
Design matters.
Presentation isn’t superficial. It’s how we tell each home’s story and connect with the right audience.
Local heart.
We live and breathe this area. Every recommendation comes from real, lived knowledge — not a script.
People first.
Behind every sale is a family, a future, a story. We never forget that.

Bringing homes to life through storytelling and design.
Led by Head of Marketing, Rachael Amberton, Chantries & Pewleys’ creative direction blends design, film, and strategy to give every property its moment in the spotlight.
From cinematic video tours to curated lifestyle photography and bespoke printed brochures, we craft marketing that captures how a home feels — not just what it offers.
Our approach is rooted in design thinking and emotional connection — every detail, from colour palette to copy, is intentional. It’s marketing that moves people.
“Great marketing shouldn’t just get a home noticed. It should make people fall in love with it.”
