Ann Durrell, your personal property agent in Bramhall and Stockport
Nearly 30 years in Greater Manchester property, and a very new pair of trainers.
I founded Durrell & Joe an independent sales, lettings and property management agency in Stockport. Whatever you need, you deal with me. I sell and rent homes across Bramhall, Woodford, Edgeley, Davenport, Cale Green, Heald Green and Gatley.

Selling your home with me
You get one person from valuation to completion. I price from what has actually sold on your street, I host the viewings, I call you straight after each one, and I chase the chain every week until you have exchanged.
How I sell your home
Why choose me
Why I started Durrell & Joe
I heard the same conversation every week for years. A landlord would ring, frustrated, and it was almost never about the fee. It was that nobody seemed to own their property. Nobody rang unless something had already gone wrong.
On the other side of the same tenancy, a tenant was waiting weeks for a repair and learning it was easier to say nothing. That is how you lose a good tenant, open up a void, and turn a £50 job into a £5,000 one. Neither problem was difficult to fix. They just needed somebody to care about the tenancy, not only the transaction.
The name
Durrell is my surname. Joe is my son. One day Joe will be renting somewhere, and I will be hoping whoever manages it answers the phone and deals with things before they become problems.
It keeps me honest about the landlord’s side too. In that scenario, Joe’s landlord has their savings tied up in an investment. Both of them deserve an agency that cares.
What I actually do
I’m not just a name on a website. I roll my sleeves up, and I know the homes I sell and the properties we manage because I’ve stood in them. Instruct me and you’ll be speaking to me.
What I don’t do is pretend to be a specialist where I’m not. Durrell & Joe is a TLP Assured agency, so all client funds are independently held and managed by The Letting Partnership, and inventories, check-outs and compliance reports are done by qualified independent professionals. I’d rather bring in the experts than wing it.
