We started this because the market deserved better.
Vendors were getting sold a number to win the instruction, then left on Rightmove with the phone going unanswered. Buyers were overwhelmed by the pace, the fees, and the lack of anyone in their corner. The industry has been crying out for something different.
Both sides of the property market have been getting served badly for years. Vendors get talked into a number, the listing sits on Rightmove, the agent stops answering the phone. Buyers get treated as a queue: a frantic pace, opaque fees, and no one in their corner when it actually matters.
The industry has grown around the seller, because the seller pays the bill. That logic leaves buyers as an afterthought, even though most buyers become sellers within a decade. The people who agencies forget today are the same people they are competing for tomorrow.
We built WPG to look after both sides. The vendor side runs as Whittaker Property Group, with an estate agency that actually does the job: honest valuations grounded in real comparables, marketing that does the work, sales progression run by someone whose job is to keep deals alive rather than chase the next instruction.
The investor side runs as The Source, our vetted off-market group. Same people behind both sides. Same standard either way you come at us.
We sat on both sides of the deal long enough to know what was missing. Now we run the agency we kept wishing we had been on the other end of.
The North East has been making fine buildings for two hundred years. We take the same care.
Small team. Senior people on every deal.

The work is the work. Here is how it has landed.
“Just completed my first purchase with Whittaker Property Group and they were great. Everything ran smoothly and the team were always quick to respond to any questions I had. Highly recommend.”
We work the North East, street by street.
Honest valuations need real comparables, which means staying close to the patches we actually know. We do not chase instructions in areas we are not credible in.
