Overview

Frenchlands Gate is a private housing estate in Surrey, comprising bespoke houses and mews-style apartments set within landscaped gardens. Residents are typically downsizing into retirement and value both the quality of their homes and the tranquillity of their community.

The estate is maintained to a high standard by an on-site estates manager handling day-to-day repairs, supported by a property consultant who procures and manages larger planned and cyclical works. While cost efficiency is important, leaseholders place greater emphasis on the quality of the finish and minimising disruption during works.
