In short: "Property company" covers many kinds of firm: estate agents who sell homes, letting agents and property managers, block managers, surveyors and valuers, buying agents, and investment advisers. The best choice depends on what you need. Always check that agents belong to a redress scheme, that letting agents have client money protection, and that surveyors are RICS-regulated where relevant. Fraser Bond is a London estate and letting agency offering sales, lettings, full management and block management.
