Introducing Wilsons
You're probably visiting our website because you're looking to buy a house, looking for an estate agent to sell your house or you're simply interested in property in the Taunton area...
Our showroom is prominently located in the very heart of Taunton, Somerset, below the landmark tower of St Mary’s Church, along a direct pedestrian route between Marks & Spencer and Church Square. We pride ourselves on being an independent family owned firm and place an emphasis on providing the highest possible standard of service to each and every client.
Our website has been designed to display our selection of property in a clean and concise style to buyers, to describe the services we offer to sellers to attract their business and to keep readers abreast of activity in the housing market with topical reports and points of interest.
By the way - Why "Wilsons"?
We've combined the 'Wil' & the 'Son' from our company name Chris Willey & Son to abbreviate to Wilsons
