For more than three decades, Bacon and Company Estate Agents has been helping people navigate the property market with confidence. This year marks a significant milestone as we proudly celebrate 36 years in the estate agency business. Since opening our doors in 1990, our focus has always been the same: delivering exceptional service while helping individuals, families, landlords, and investors find the right property solutions.

Over the years, we have witnessed enormous change within the UK property market, from fluctuations in house prices to the rapid rise of digital technology in property marketing. Despite these changes, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to providing trusted estate agency services backed by local knowledge and personal support.

As we celebrate this important anniversary, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how the property market has evolved since 1990, how Bacon and Company has grown alongside it, and why our team continues to be a trusted name in property across Worthing.

The Property Market in 1990 vs Today

When Bacon and Company first opened its doors in 1990, the property market looked very different from the one we know today. At that time, the average house price in the UK was approximately £57,000, a figure that highlights just how dramatically property values have changed over the past three decades.

The process of buying or selling a home was also very different. Before the rise of online property platforms, estate agents relied heavily on traditional marketing methods to connect buyers and sellers. These included newspaper property listings, high street estate agent window displays, printed brochures and property details and word of mouth recommendations within the local community.

Potential buyers would often spend weekends visiting estate agent offices to browse through printed property sheets or checking newspaper listings to see what homes had just come onto the market.

Fast forward to today, and the property industry has been transformed by technology. Online portals such as Rightmove have completely changed how buyers search for homes, allowing people to view hundreds of properties instantly from their phones or computers.

Digital marketing, social media promotion, virtual tours, and online property alerts are now key tools used by modern estate agents. However, while technology has made property searches more accessible, the value of expert guidance, local market knowledge, and personal service remains just as important as ever.

At Bacon and Company, we have embraced these digital innovations while ensuring that our clients continue to receive the personal support and advice that only experienced estate agents can provide.

The Importance of Local Estate Agents in Worthing

One of the biggest advantages of working with an established estate agent is local knowledge. Worthing has grown and evolved significantly since the early 1990s. Today it is widely recognised as one of the most desirable coastal towns in West Sussex, offering a combination of seaside living, strong transport links, and a thriving local community.

Buyers are increasingly drawn to Worthing because of its beautiful coastline and seafront, excellent schools and convenient rail connections to London and Brighton. As local estate agents in Worthing, Bacon and Company has developed a deep understanding of these factors, allowing us to provide valuable guidance to buyers and sellers alike.

Our experience in areas such as Broadwater, Goring-by-Sea, and the surrounding locations ensures that our clients receive accurate advice based on real local market trends.

The People Behind Bacon and Company

While technology and marketing strategies are important, the true success of any estate agency comes down to its people.

At Bacon and Company, our directors have provided strong leadership and vision for more than three decades, ensuring that the company continues to grow while maintaining its core values of integrity, professionalism, and client care.

Equally important is the dedication of our team members. Many of our staff have been with the company for over ten years, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to every property transaction.

Our clients often tell us that what sets Bacon and Company apart is not just our experience, but the friendly and supportive approach our team provides throughout the property journey.

Why Experience Matters When Buying or Selling Property

Buying or selling a property is one of the most important financial decisions many people will make. Having an experienced estate agent by your side can make a significant difference in both the process and the final outcome.

With 36 years of experience in the property market, Bacon and Company understands the many factors that influence successful property transactions. Our approach focuses on accurate property pricing based on market data, strategic marketing to reach the right buyers, professional negotiation to secure the best deal and clear communication throughout the entire process.

Whether you are selling your family home, purchasing your first property, or expanding your investment portfolio, working with an experienced estate agent helps ensure that every stage of the process runs smoothly.

Looking Ahead: The Future of the Property Market

As we celebrate our 36th anniversary, we are also looking ahead to the future. The industry will undoubtedly continue to evolve as new technologies, changing buyer expectations, and economic conditions shape how people buy and sell homes. At Bacon and Company, we remain committed to staying ahead of these trends while continuing to provide the personal service that has been at the heart of our business since 1990.

By combining modern technology with decades of experience, we aim to ensure our clients always receive the best possible advice and support.
