Tell us about Reigate.
Within the local area there is a wide variety of properties from large detached family homes to studio apartments. Living here you have the best of both worlds, easy access into London and down to the coast but also having some amazing countryside on our doorstep, from Priory Park in the heart of Reigate to Box Hill. Reigate offers you the village feel with a range of independent shops, restaurants as well some well-known brands and this is why its so popular with families moving out of London.
Reigate also has some great schools which are highly rated via Ofsted another reason the area is attractive to families. This year there has also been the opening of the new leisure complex in the heart of Redhill town centre which boasts cinema screens, bowling lanes, crazy golf, axe throwing and more, it’s lends itself to a great evening out with family and friends.
Within the local area you have East Surrey Hospital which attracts doctors and nurses from all over the country and overseas, and Gatwick airport is not too far away.

We find no two days are the same in our office, if we are not out showing tenants around the properties we have available to let, then we are in the office speaking to our customers and building solid relationships. Our philosophy is todays tenants could be tomorrows landlord and future customer to Andrews. This is why we treat all our customers as if they are our only customer and pride ourselves on the customer service we deliver, this is evidenced by the amount of 5 star reviews we have been left on Google. I recommend you check them out for yourselves.
Getting involved in our local community is really important to us, which is why the Andrews Reigate branch is the headline sponsor for the annual award-winning Run Reigate, which attracts over 10,000 visitors to this local town event, one Sunday every year in September. If you haven’t experienced Run Reigate I highly recommend it for a fun day out, why not come along next year!
There is a real sense of community here in Reigate and its great to see everyone looking out and helping each other.
