Overview
Manners & Harrison is an estate and letting agency operating in the North East of England. Originally known as George Manners & Son in the 1850s, the firm has served local property markets for well over a century and today trades under the Manners & Harrison name from four offices covering Billingham, Hartlepool, Marton and Stockton-on-Tees. Its core business is residential sales and lettings, supported by a broad range of property services including free market valuations, auctions, mortgage services, conveyancing, shared ownership advice, surveys and valuations, new homes, land acquisition and disposal, and corporate lettings. The agency positions itself on local market knowledge combined with national strength. It lists properties on the three major UK portals — Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket — and provides sellers with 24/7 access to an online seller account. Manners & Harrison is part of Sequence (UK) Limited, a national network of estate agents with over 320 branches operating under twelve trading names, several of which have been associated with estate agency for more than a century. Sequence in turn sits within the Connells Group, one of the UK's largest estate agency and property services organisations. Within the Sequence network, Manners & Harrison is one of the local brands alongside Allen & Harris, Bagshaws Residential, Barnard Marcus, Barnfields, Brown & Merry, Fox & Sons, Jones & Chapman, Roger Platt, Swetenhams, Shipways and William H Brown. The network has continued to expand and also includes Holroyds, Knight Partnership, Porter Glenny and Porter Glenny New Homes. Through this structure, Manners & Harrison can offer clients access to regional auction teams, national land and new homes expertise, and a wide range of mortgage and conveyancing services. The brand's heritage dates back to the mid-nineteenth century, making it one of the older names in North East estate agency. Its modern identity is closely tied to the Sequence network, which describes itself as award-winning and focused on changing perceptions of estate agents. Manners & Harrison emphasises customer care, clear communication and removing the stress from moving home, while its land specialists work on residential development land for private and institutional clients across the country.
History
The origins of Manners & Harrison lie in the 1850s, when the business traded as George Manners & Son. Over the following decades it established itself as a local estate agency in the North East of England, a region it continues to serve today. The firm built a reputation for residential sales and lettings in towns such as Billingham, Hartlepool, Marton and Stockton-on-Tees, where it maintains offices. In the modern era, Manners & Harrison became part of Sequence (UK) Limited, a national network of estate agents with over 320 offices operating under twelve trading names. Sequence describes several of its brands as having been synonymous with estate agency for over 100 years, a description that fits Manners & Harrison's long heritage. The network has continued to grow and now also includes Holroyds, Knight Partnership, Porter Glenny and Porter Glenny New Homes. Sequence itself is part of the Connells Group, one of the UK's largest property services groups. Under the Sequence umbrella, Manners & Harrison has expanded its service range beyond traditional sales and lettings. It now offers free market valuations, auctions through regional teams, mortgage services, conveyancing via Sequence Home Conveyancing, shared ownership advice, surveys and valuations, new homes, land acquisition and disposal, and corporate lettings. The agency lists properties on Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket, and provides sellers with 24/7 access to an online seller account. Its land specialists work on residential development land for private and institutional clients, supported by the wider national network. Manners & Harrison presents itself as an award-winning estate agent focused on removing the stress and hassle from moving home, emphasising common courtesies such as explaining the process, returning calls and keeping clients up to date.
