Our Mission
Your Trusted Property Partner
for Over 20 Years
Established in 2003, Gatekeeper was founded with a commitment to delivering a fresh, people-focused approach to buying, selling, letting, and renting property. Our core belief is simple: if we put our customers first, the business will naturally thrive, and it has.
Over the years, our business has grown and now serves the areas of Witney, Aylesbury, Swindon, Banbury, and Bicester. Our success is built on our unique structure, where our team operates from one central office, sharing invaluable local market knowledge, and quite a bit of cake. This collaborative environment allows us to offer exceptional customer service alongside competitive pricing.
Customer for Life Ethos
Building Relationships, Exceeding Expectations
At Gatekeeper, we believe in building relationships that last a lifetime, whether with our customers or colleagues. By truly understanding what matters most, we’re able to provide unwavering support and add value at every step of the journey.
Our unique central office structure allows us to bring together local expertise with centralised efficiency, giving our customers the best of both worlds. We’re dedicated to continually refining our services, using advanced technology and streamlined processes to deliver a seamless experience every time.
All our team members are shareholders, showing our commitment to our colleagues and theirs to Gatekeeper. Through our Partnership Program, we promote from within, making Directors larger shareholders. Both these approaches mean we recruit the best people, leading to longer tenures and a team that truly cares. We ask every customer for feedback and share it transparently, ensuring we stay focused on what matters most, our customers and our people.

5 Stars – Outstanding Service from Start to Finish We recently sold our home through Gatekeeper and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. From the very beginning, the entire process was smooth, well-organised, and stress-free—something you don’t always expect when selling a property! Alice, Phil, and the whole team were absolutely fantastic. Their communication was excellent throughout, always keeping us in the loop and ready to answer any questions we had. Any challenges that came up were dealt with promptly and professionally, giving us complete confidence every step of the way. It’s clear that Gatekeeper genuinely care about their clients, and that made a real difference to our experience. We felt supported from our first contact all the way through to completion, and even beyond. We highly recommend Gatekeeper to anyone looking to sell—it’s rare to find a team this dedicated, responsive, and genuinely kind. Thank you again for all your help.
