Lock & Key independent estate agents was founded in 2006, by CEO Nigel Fitzgerald and is Melksham's leading independent Estate Agent, specialising in residential sales, land and new homes.

I decided to create a revolutionary estate agency business, starting from scratch, avoiding all the legacy issues of a traditional estate agency business; it was time to develop a brand new service around the needs of busy people in the 21st century, without compromising on the dedication to customer care and service that people expected.

Using the latest developments in technology, I soon realised there was a more convenient way for our customers to interact with us without losing the human touch. That is why at Lock & Key we staff our business with the brightest people in the industry and empower our 'local property experts', to put the needs of our customers first.

By building our business on the quality of service in the most reliable way possible, we are changing people's property habits with the wonderful convenience of being able to get the service you should expect, when you want it.

Nigel is a lovely chap who 'knows his onions' - the video he produced was not full of jargon and his passion came through via the enthusiastic narration. His pricing advice was also spot on and we secured a full asking price offer within 24hrs ...

As they were not easy tenants the husband had to be rerported to the police due to threatening behaviour.
