Launching a new estate agency with Avocado Property in Urmston, I’m focused on delivering a more personal, honest and supportive moving experience. With deep local knowledge and a people-first approach, I aim to help families move the right way, offering tailored advice, strong communication and genuine care throughout the process.

There is a growing shift taking place in the Ruislip property market, and it is not one that can be ignored. While much of the national conversation focuses on house prices and interest rates, a quieter yet more revealing metric is beginning to stand out, how long properties are taking to sell.

For much of the last two decades, bungalows have quietly slipped out of fashion. Overshadowed by those glossy new build developments, three storey townhouses and open plan ‘modern living’, they became seen by many as somewhere only your granny lives rather than an aspirational home move.

Helping you move with clarity, care and confidence in Urmston, Flixton & Davyhulme. I’m Tom Gilbert, your local Avocado estate agent, offering honest advice, strong local knowledge and hands-on support from valuation through to completion—so your move feels smoother, simpler and properly looked after.
