Willmott & Lake was founded by Jack Willmott and Adam Lake with a simple belief: an estate agency should be independent, director-led, and built on a blend of traditional graft and modern, intelligent marketing. We opened our doors to create an agency where integrity, effort and genuine care sit alongside high-impact visuals, data-led strategy and an unwavering focus on results.
Every move is personal, and every client’s situation is different. That’s why we don’t offer packaged services, rigid processes or “one size fits all” solutions. Instead, we tailor everything—from our marketing approach to the way we communicate—around the individual needs of the people we work with. No lengthy tie-ins, no handovers to junior staff, no shortcuts.
Our reputation has been built on exceptional customer service, industry-leading marketing, and direct involvement from experienced directors at every stage. In 2025, we achieved the quickest average sale time of any estate agent in Bishop’s Stortford—something we’re incredibly proud of and a reflection of the standards we hold ourselves to. Add to that our 5-star Google rating and ‘Top Performer’ recognition, and the pattern is clear: when we take a property on, we commit to it fully.
We believe quality matters more than volume. We don’t chase numbers; we chase outcomes. Every piece of photography, every video, every brochure, every negotiation is executed with purpose, precision and pride. And behind it all sits a core principle: people first.
Your home deserves to stand out in a crowded market, and our team blends skilled sales strategy with professional creative marketing to make that happen. We don’t simply list properties—we launch them, tell their story, and create the emotional connection that drives genuine interest and stronger offers.
Buying or selling a property is one of life’s major milestones, and we treat it with the attention and respect it deserves. We keep you informed, supported and confident from start to finish, guiding you through the process with clarity, honesty and complete transparency.
Every client becomes part of our story, and every successful move adds to the legacy we’re building—one shaped by trust, results and meaningful relationships.
Our values remain constant: People. Property. Partnerships. They guide every interaction, every marketing decision, and every negotiation we undertake.
As we grow, our promise stays the same: we put your needs first, we elevate your home with exceptional marketing, and we handle your move with the care and expertise it deserves.
Willmott & Lake — shaping the future of estate agency, one property and one partnership at a time.
