Our Story
At Option Estates, we're proud to be a modern, forward-thinking estate agency based in Derbyshire. We serve Derby, Chesterfield, Matlock, and the surrounding Derbyshire area with a professional, personal approach to every property transaction.
We combine local market expertise with exceptional customer service to ensure smooth, stress-free transactions. Our team takes the time to understand your individual circumstances and tailor our approach to meet your specific needs.
As a true one-stop shop, we go beyond traditional estate agency. Whether you need help selling your home, finding the right mortgage through our partner Option Finance, arranging conveyancing from our panel of 150 solicitors, or securing building and contents insurance, everything is managed in one place by people you know and trust.
Your property, our priority. We treat every sale, purchase, and letting as if it were our own, ensuring you receive the care and attention you deserve.
Our Mission
To achieve the best possible price for your property through expert marketing, professional presentation, and skilled negotiation — all at a fair and transparent fee of just 0.7% (minimum £1,500, no VAT).
To provide a fully managed lettings service that maximises rental income while minimising hassle — with an 8% management fee, £250 tenant find, and a modern toolkit including CRM portal, client app, and rent collection.
What Drives Us
Everything we do is built on four core principles that set us apart.
Honest, transparent advice at every stage. We tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear — because trust is the foundation of everything we do.
Every client gets a named point of contact who understands their goals. We tailor our approach to your individual circumstances and keep you informed at every step.
Deep knowledge of the Derbyshire property market — from pricing trends and school catchments to planning developments and local amenities that affect value.
We combine traditional estate agency with modern technology: 360 virtual tours, professional photography, social media marketing, and a dedicated client app.
