Our Story

Founded in 2002 by Lee Wainwright with over 30 years’ experience in the property industry, Wainwright & Edwards was born from a simple vision: to bring integrity, expertise, and genuine care back to the estate agency industry.

Starting with a small office in central Preston, we’ve grown to become one of Lancashire’s most respected estate agencies, handling over 2,500 successful property transactions. Our success stems from treating every client as we would want to be treated ourselves—with honesty, transparency, and unwavering dedication.

Today, our team of experienced professionals continues to set new standards in the industry. We combine traditional values with modern technology to deliver exceptional results, whether you’re buying your first home, selling a cherished family property, or building an investment portfolio.

What sets us apart is simple: we genuinely care about our clients’ success, and it shows in everything we do.
