About us

When Oliver Minton opened his first office in Stanstead Abbotts in October 1999, his vision was to be different from the town-based estate agents and specialise in the sale and letting of village & rural homes.

A very professional and friendly service from the first viewing to after moving in. We had a particularly difficult and stressful move and staff were very supportive. They chased up the onward chain and communicated information they had. All the team were extremely helpful but a special mention for John and Sarah.

After firstly signing up with another new local agent in my area who was full of promises to market my property with the “wow” factor you soon realise what having a good agent really means and that an agent that lists your property with promises of all bells and whistles doesn’t replace the expertise of a long term agent like Oliver Mintons who knows the market where you live and has an excellent reputation and cares about what they do. Oliver Minton has been outstanding from start to finish. It’s not been a straightforward sale due to other factors in the chain but they have ensured things have gone as smoothly as possible. My biggest regret is not using them from the start! A big shout out to Jon and Sarah who have been fantastic.

Oliver Minton are the agents to use if you want a hassle free move. Their services were so very professional and all the team we dealt with in Stanstead Abbotts were extremely good. They achieved the right buyer at the right time and the whole procedure was very efficient and the timing was first class. We would have no hesitation to highly recommend them if you want a smooth easy move. A big thank you to Jon, Lucy, Sarah, Linda and the rest of the team for all their help. Keep up the good work.

We highly recommend Oliver Minton’s and are repeat customers, Linda and Sarah were fantastic throughout. Both are extremely knowledgeable and proactive, giving excellent advice. Our house sold after the open day held by Linda and for above the asking price. We encountered issues on our buyers sale (via a different agent) and their big conveyancing company. Sarah was amazing and in effect pushed both their and our sale through. She was on the case and determined to make it happen, Linda also helped and kept in touch. We are finally able to move to our dream home and it’s only possible due to the level of professionalism demonstrated by Sarah and Linda - so a massive thank you to them both.

Sarah at Oliver Minton was outstanding. It was a very difficult move and without her patience and dedication i am sure it would have fallen through. Can’t recommend enough!

I wanted to support a local business and Oliver Mintons Estate Agents didn't let me down. The whole team worked with me as I needed or they needed from me. Linda & Sarah were my most regular contacts - but no complaints.

About us

Our Vision

Oliver had gained the love of promoting village homes after working for Black Horse Agencies in the Wheathampstead / Harpenden area for over 8 years, and after a period of time managing branches in Woodford Green & Ware, the opportunity came about in 1999 to return to his village-orientated roots and start up his own business in Stanstead Abbotts. Thus started the marketing philosophy to promote the village & rural homes in a more imaginative and comprehensive manner and provide an almost tourist-information style village property service.

26 successful years later, with branches now in Stanstead Abbotts, Puckeridge & Roydon, Oliver Minton Village & Rural Homes is the only estate agency with offices in all three of these busy, commuter-orientated villages. The core area of coverage is from Broxbourne & Nazeing in the south, north to Royston, across to the western outskirts of Bishops Stortford and to the villages on the eastern fringes of Stevenage, although the use of digital and internet marketing allows us to market properties further afield as well.
