Peter Leete & Partners

The founder who had cut his teeth running a chain of estate agents in and around the Sutton area moved out to the 'sticks' where his wife's family had retired to. Initially running his business from home it soon became necessary to find premises and the old estate office on The Green at Grayshott became available (at that time in use as a hairdressers, previously a cobblers and originally the village estate office where rents were paid by local tenants).

This offered an ideal office in a prominent position with adjacent free public car park (the 'Fox and Pelican' watering hole being located 'at a convenient remove' having no influence). Peter became a well-known local figure with his trademark 'My Lord' and 'see you when you're older, ' among other 'Peterisms.' Many enjoyed his sense of humour reflected in his old style advertising copy (permissible prior to the introduction of the Property Misdescriptions Act 1991).

Not for the faint hearted, a property to endow your personality upon!
