Chartered Surveyor
Time at John German? I first joined John German Estate Agents in the Ashby office as a trainee Land Agent in 1981 where I qualified as a Chartered Surveyor a year later. After 10 years in various parts of the country I moved to the John German Stafford office to head up the Residential Estate Agency and Valuation department where I stayed until we opened in Uttoxeter in 2004. I now work from Ashbourne and Uttoxeter combining with my role as Managing Director.
The best part of your job? Despite how long I have been doing it, I get huge satisfaction from doing a deal and achieving a great result for a client. It is great when clients follow your advice and the result achieved match or exceed everyone’s expectations.
The best part of your job? When selling a property it is vital to prepare well to avoid unnecessary delays and avoidable issues spoiling the sale in the final stages of the deal. It is really worthwhile reviewing the condition of the house and sorting out those teething problems which could deter buyers and create a plethora of damning words from surveyors. Also ensure all the appropriate certificates and paperwork is readily available for your solicitor.
Sales Director
stuart.bennet@johngerman.co.uk
Time at John German? I have managed the Ashbourne branch since 2012 and have been in estate agency since 1999.
The best part of your job? Valuing houses has always been interesting, especially with rural properties. I particularly enjoy organising a successful agency and find it extremely rewarding being able to guide and advise our clients through the marketing of their home.
Senior Sales Negotiator
emma.harrison@johngerman.co.uk
Best part of your job? I love everything about my job, from meeting new people to agreeing sales. The best thing is seeing the smiles on people’s faces and knowing we have done our job!
Top tip for buyer or seller? Choose an agent with a great reputation and great local knowledge, one that will provide you with the highest level of customer service. Of course, this means choosing John German!
What would be your dream home? A detached home with a fabulous modern living kitchen and great outdoor space to entertain from.
Sales Negotiator
Best part of your job? I enjoy meeting people and viewing all the varying types of property.
Top tip for buyer or seller? If you are selling, go with an estate agent who is established and knows the local area. For buyers, have a list of the key criteria you are looking for but be prepared to compromise.
What would be your dream home? A barn conversion with a mix of contemporary and traditional features and clever in-built technology.
Lettings Director
Time at John German? Since 1995 but with 3 years off for good behaviour!
Favourite part of your job? Going out to meet landlords and gaining their confidence to instruct us…. And then finding them the perfect tenant!
Top tip for a landlord? Only buy a property to let in an area you would live!
What would be your dream home? A grand design home with full height windows overlooking countryside.

Time at John German? Since 2005 both in Sales and Lettings.
The best part of your job? Building up a good relationship with landlords and tenants alike.
Top tip for buyer or seller? First impressions really do count, maximise your kerb appeal and be realistic with the rental price to avoid the property sitting empty.
What would be your dream home? I’ve always really fancied a grand design type house, perhaps by Frank Lloyd or similar.
Lettings Administrator
becky.scargill@johngerman.co.uk
Time at John German? I joined John German Estate Agents in 2011 and have worked for both the Lettings and Sales departments.
The best part of your job? It’s a fast-paced job which provides me with a great feeling of accomplishment when I find the perfect tenant for a landlord. Another aspect of the job I enjoy is building great relationships with our landlords and tenants. It feels good when they come back to us time and time again to re-let their properties or when they are looking for a new home.
What would be your dream home? My dream home would be a period property with plenty of old features and open fires, with somewhere to put a very big Christmas tree.
