Estate agents in Kenley

When we first opened our doors in the 90s we were one of just a handful of estate agents catering for the Kenley area, since, a number of other agents have joined the marketplace, and though we certainly enjoy good healthy competition, our knowledge, professionalism and ability to achieve the highest market values for properties within the Kenley area has established us as the go to agent in the area. Shinerocks still remains very much ‘the’ choice of estate agent for Kenley.

Kenley is a sought after semi-rural area, situated just south of Purley yet within easy reach of central London. If you are looking for a truly country feel with all the conveniences of good transport, shopping and schools nearby, then Kenley is the perfect choice for your next move. With a wide selection of property ranging from flats, terraced and semi-detached houses mainly found in the valley, to large imposing detached family homes in Welcomes road, Uplands road and Hayes Lane area, Kenley has a lot to offer the discerning purchaser.

Local History

Kenley is rich in history, an example being Kenley Memorial Hall, built in 1921 from funds raised by the Kenley residents to commemorate all the local men who had served their country in World War I. The hall was used by the local community until it was requisitioned by the war department in World War II and was used as an ARP post and rehabilitation centre until 1947 when it was then handed back to the trustees. In 1973 having fallen into disrepair the hall was about to be sold for re-development when the local residents again, together with local business raised the funds to save the hall and restored it over the course of the next two years.

Kenley is also home to Kenley Aerodrome, a station of the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War and the RAF in the Second World War. Many famous pilots served at Kenley including South African fighter ace, Sailor Malan, who survived the war to become involved in the Anti-Apartheid movement in his country. Kenley Aerodrome has been used as a location for well known films, including ‘Reach for the Sky’, about Douglas Bader, who was posted to RAF Kenley in 1930, shortly before his accident in 1931.

Properties in Kenley

Having tried a couple estate agents to sell our house, with no result, we tried ShineRocks. Paul Shinerock was realistic in his valuation, which others had not been and we had a number of viewings. A Christmas present was accepting a very good offer. Unfortunately, the buyer dragged his heels and then at the point of exchange decided to...

Mr P

A great service offered by both Paul and Claire. Sometimes the best thing an agent can do is to convince you to accept an offer and to encourage you to pay more to get the house of your dreams.

Hi Caire, Can you say a massive 'thank you' to Paul for coming to see me. He really gave me some things to think about that had just not crossed my mind.

Dear Paul We are at last beginning to see some order in our new home and have time to catch breath.

We would like to take...
