Vanderpump & Wellbelove Ltd
Letting your property is an important decision and the choice of the person or Company who manages it for you is an even more important one. Having made a decision to let you are then giving responsibility for probably your most important asset, to somebody you may not know and it is therefore of paramount importance that you place your faith in a firm of good repute, and in individuals within that firm who have the experience and confidence to manage your property with the same care and attention they would their own. This is the basis upon which Vanderpump & Wellbelove has been founded. We therefore have pleasure in providing some background to Vanderpump & Wellbelove for your consideration.
Vanderpump & Wellbelove were originally the very well known and respected London firm of Country Land & Estate Agents, Wellesley -Smith & Co founded in 1929, which commenced business from 91-93 Baker Street London W1. After the 2nd World war they amalgamated their Reading Office with Vanderpump & Wellbelove selling top quality Town & Country Houses. The business flourished under the guidance of Mr R E Vanderpump F.R.I.C.S who became the High Sheriff of Berkshire and South Oxon, and his partner Mr I R Wellbelove FRIV. They expanded and had branches in Reading, Woodley, Wallingford, Henley & Wokingham. At the time they were one of the very few Agents professionally managing properties and were responsible for a very large portfolio of residential and commercial properties for private Landlords, professional investors and institutions throughout the County. In the late 1980's the senior Partners retired and the business was taken over for a time by a local Company who then transferred the business to the present Directors who have been closely connected with Vanderpump & Wellbelove for many years.
Dedicated Solely to the professional management of property upholding the highest standards laid down by the Founders, you can rest assured of the best possible service from Vanderpump & Wellbelove at all times.
The Times newspaper regularly displayed advertisements by Wellesley-Smith & Co in the 1930's and below is printed an extract from an advertisement placed in The Times on September 9th 1930. Also there is an article from Country Life about a property being let.
