Portrait of Aldergate's founder and lead partner

Julian Aldergate

28 years in London property

Founder & Lead Partner — MNAEA · MRICS

Julian Aldergate

“Our mission is simple: fewer clients, better outcomes, and honesty even when it costs us the instruction.”

Julian opened Aldergate's first office on Lamb's Conduit Street in 1998 with a card table, a kettle, and a conviction that estate agency could be done gently. Twenty-eight years later, the firm has grown to nine partners and kept the kettle.

He personally leads every valuation west of the Heath, sits on the borough conservation panel, and still walks first-time buyers through their offer line by line.

Aldergate sold our house in nineteen days, to the second family who saw it. They told us to hold on the first offer, and they were right by forty thousand pounds. Less a transaction, more a handover.
