About us

Bentons was established over 40 years ago in Melton Mowbray by Alastair Benton, who initially set-up to provide professional advice to local farmers and landlowners.

Alastair was joined by James Warne in the 1990s to build on Bentons early success to progress the residential sales and lettings departments of the business and together they created one of the largest and leading estate agency and professional practices in the East Midlands.

Bentons is able to provide an increasingly rare offering with our ability to advise clients on a diverse range of property related matters. Our multi-discipline offering includes residential sales and lettings, property management, agriculture and farms, commercial sales and lettings and RICS professional surveys and valuations.

We are fiercely proud to be independent and have our roots established as a family firm with traditional service values, yet at the same time offering market leading advice, practices and cutting edge marketing.

We are very much a people business and we believe that to be the best and to achieve the best, we need to employ the best. Supporting Alastair and James in running the business are a dedicated team of over 30 employees, with Lizzie Bateman, Melissa Hopson, Richard Harrison, Mandy Gunter appointed as company Directors who specialise in residential, commercial and professional agency. James Sealy is our Farms and Agricultural surveyor and Darren Moore heads up the lettings and management department.
