Welcome to Millbank Estate Agents
A Brief History
The company Millbank & Co was founded by the late David Millbank
in 1979. David lived in the town and built a solid company providing
a very traditional personal selling service to clients and purchasers
alike. Millbank & Co acted as selling agents on many “new” home
developments in the town including the popular award winning
“Springfields” built by D & P Dunnett Builders Ltd.
Sadly David passed away in 1994 and later that year ownership of the
company was taken up by Tony Beales FNAEA who runs the firm to this
day.
When Tony Beales took over the business in 1994 he rebranded the
company to “Millbank Estate Agents” giving it the distinctive diamond
logo, together with a new orange and green corporate identity. The
ethos was to retain the name that David Millbank had worked so hard
to build, but at the same time give the company an identity to which
people could identify with. At that time in 1994 the property market was
in decline, property prices were falling, repossessions were on the up
and there was a general feeling of apathy.
The staffing levels in those days was just Tony, a part time afternoon
secretary and a part time Saturday afternoon receptionist. Advertising
was a small black and white advert featuring approx 5 properties and
all the boards were put up and taken down by Tony himself.
In 1997 the offices were mostly rebuilt following a flood in the flat
above, a programme of refurbishment took place but it was still business
as usual while all this work took place.
In 2008 the company expanded taking the ambitious step at the time of
launching a lettings department trading as Millbank Letting Agents.
Millbank Estate Agents can also provide Property Auction Services in
association with Auction House East Anglia, whereby through referral,
clients can receive all the expert advice needed relating to auctioning a
property.
Millbank Estate Agents are a pro-active company and in 2012 the
company expanded into a refurbished prestigious double fronted two
storey office prominently situated close by in Exchange Street. Millbank
Estate Agents are Attleborough’s longest establised estate agent.
