Estate Agents in West Derby

One local agent, not a call centre queue

The number one agent in West Derby Village

Our office sits in the heart of West Derby Village (L12), where we’re proud to be the number one estate agent, not by claim, but by the number of local sales and lettings we handle year after year. We also cover Norris Green and Croxteth (L11), Stockbridge Village (L28) and Anfield (L6).

And we’re growing our presence further afield too: Old Swan (L13) is an area we’re actively investing in, building the same local relationships and market knowledge that’s made us the go-to agent in the Village, so if you’re buying, selling or letting in Old Swan, you’re dealing with a team that’s putting down roots there, not just adding a postcode to a list.

A story worth watching: the new children’s hospice on our doorstep

Two hundred yards from our West Derby office, on Hayman’s Green, a new specialist children’s hospice is under construction, the new home for the baby hospice long known locally as Zoe’s Place, now being established as Little Lights Liverpool Baby Hospice. The facility was saved from closure by an extraordinary public fundraising effort and is being rebuilt as a state-of-the-art centre for babies and young children with life-limiting conditions.

It’s the kind of story that shows what West Derby is: a community that shows up for its own, on our own doorstep. We’ll be following the build and sharing updates as the opening gets closer, because a story like this deserves more than a single mention.

Built on giving young people a chance, for 37 years

“My ambition has always been simple, to be the best local estate agent for local people. For me, that isn’t just about selling houses; it’s about investing in the communities we serve and giving opportunities to young people starting their careers.

Someone took a chance on me back in 1989. Looking back, that’s 37 years ago, and I honestly hadn’t realised it had been that long! That opportunity changed my life, and I’ve always believed it’s important to pass on my knowledge and experience to the next generation. My goal is to help develop people so they become even better than I ever was.

I get enormous satisfaction from watching young people grow in confidence, develop their skills and build successful careers within our business.”

Gail Roberts, Director, Whitegates

Right here in West Derby, that philosophy has a face: Zaklina Zablotny, one of our Property Consultants, recently completed her Estate Agency Apprenticeship with us and is now part of the local team you’ll deal with directly.

Across the wider Whitegates business, that commitment shows up in the numbers:

• 22 staff across our branches
• 8 apprentices currently training – 2 have just qualified
• 5 members of our senior leadership team started as apprentices themselves, now Branch Managers, Valuers and Negotiators
• Team members who’ve stayed with us for 26 years, 7 years, and everything in between

This isn’t a slogan on a wall. It’s why the person who greets you in our West Derby office is likely to still be there in five years’ time, and why so many of our staff started exactly where you might be starting: at the beginning.
