About Us
The Grantley Group
Grantley Sales and Lettings is one of the leading sales and lettings businesses in Surrey & West Sussex. The group was initially formed to align two local and well established, high-end property companies: Grantley Estate Agents and Red Clam Letting & Property Services.
Recently, we acquired Property Services Haslemere Limited, a fantastic lettings business first established in 1970. Soon after we welcomed LP Letting in Godalming to our stable, and, finally, we welcomed Prestige Lettings in 2020.
As a Group we offer a unique, wholly comprehensive, market-leading range of property services covering Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire and our clients’ needs are at the forefront of all that we do.
Our services include Residential Sales & Lettings, Equestrian and Farming Homes, Commercial Property Sales & Lease, Serviced Apartments and an exclusive Property Finding service for investors and discreet off-market residential homes.
Our depth of knowledge and experience in the marketing of premium properties, including country estates and listed buildings as well as modern contemporary family homes, means we can offer a highly proactive, personal and confidential alternative for clients in the Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire areas.
The team at Grantley takes great care and patience to really understand the needs of our clients. If they need advice, guidance, or access to the area’s hidden gems then we are absolutely the agent of choice. Our approach is traditional yet dynamic, or as one of our clients recently said, "a breath of fresh air"!
From our Director
"The overall objective of The Grantley Group is to provide a timely conclusion of any property related transaction on behalf of our clients, in a professional and trustworthy manner. Our aim is to ensure your experience is pleasant, informative and worthy of endorsement."

The Management Team
David Williams
Director
David has been an agent since 1997, and throughout his 24-year career in property he has had the privilege of working for a number of industry-leading property agencies in Prime Central London, South West London, Surrey and Hampshire. Since joining Grantley in 2016, David has been instrumental in evolving the company's brand, introducing a more tailored approach to property marketing and overseeing the development of Grantley’s web and social media strategies. David is utterly client focussed and nothing is ever too much trouble - if a house needs staging for a photo shoot or a garden needs attention to capture that all-important shot, it is not uncommon for David to roll his sleeves up and get stuck in!
David prides himself on ensuring every client’s home is marketed in the best possible way. Through this diligent approach he enables owners from Country Estates to Ultra modern eco houses to achieve their goals. He prides himself on a passionate knowledge of listed buildings and the more quirky country houses that the area is known for. Living next to Merrow Downs, the perfect place for David’s love for the great outdoors, he is a keen mountaineer and can often be found trail running around the Surrey Hills in preparation for his next adventure. David is the very proud father of a very active 9 year old boy and a grown up daughter who is now training to be a teacher. He lives life to the full and hates sitting still for more than 5 minutes!
