About us

One of the leading independent estate agencies covering South Wales.

Moving is a busy and exciting time and we are here to make sure the experience goes as smoothly as possible by giving you all the help you need under one roof.

The company has always used computer and internet based technology, coupled with traditional values and our biggest strength is the genuinely warm, friendly and professional approach that we offer to all of our clients.

We operate from prominent locations within the busy towns of Cwmbran and Risca. Our reputation and record of success has been built upon a single minded desire to provide our clients with a top class personal service, delivered by highly motivated, trained and experienced staff. A sign of that success is the fact that a large proportion of our business is from referrals, satisfied clients who recommend us to friends and family, so much so that we now operate outside of our `local` areas.

So, if you want professional advice and help on all aspects of home moving, whether it be sales or lettings, please call or email us to find out how best we can help you.

What our clients say

At Sage & Co Estate Agents we aim to make the process of buying, selling or letting your property as simple and straight forward as can be possible.

“I’m completely new to this area so I don’t know anyone or anywhere. I came to view a property and it ticked all the boxes for me and my situation. My cash offer was accepted and sage and co were brilliant throughout. They gave me details of recommended solicitors and tradesmen as I need to have some essential work done to the property, as it’s always a worry dealing with tradesmen that you don’t know or have any knowledge of. I contacted the agent several times throughout the process with questions and queries and nothing was too much trouble, the whole team were really helpful and professional and welcomed me to the the area. Would I recommend them or use them again, most definitely I would.”
G. Collins - Beckett

“Used this business to sell my Dads house, very professional from start to finish, kept me informed of viewings and feedback throughout. Then the message everyone waits for, an offer. Still kept in touch once sale was agreed until final completion day. Outstanding service and highly recommended. The office workers, namely Nicola and Clare whom I had dealings with on numerous occasions could not have done any more for me. In a word... "Outstanding' and will most certainly be using them again for the upcoming sale of my brother's property. All the very best to Steve and the team.”
D. Dawe

“found the risca branch lovely to deal with while I was in the process of buying my house. The process of buying became very stressful and complicated due to other issues, but the team were very reassuring and patient with me. I particularly found Julie, Sara and Callum very kind and patient.”
R. Strowger

“I am familiar with sage and some of the staff which is partly why I decided to use them. There level of service was beyond 5 star in my opinion throughout the sale and purchase. I would definitely recommend them to all my freinds and family.”
P. Young

“We are so impressed with wonderful Nicola and her superstar Cwmbrân team. (Special mention to James and Mel too) Just as promised we were provided with an outstanding personalised service and proactive communication throughout. The team is professional , organised and filled with genuinely lovely people. Nicola was exceptional and managed every aspect of the house sale flawlessly. She took the heat out of any quiet periods, reassuring us and keeping momentum going. Selling our house with you was immense. My sister and I recommend this rare gem of a company with complete confidence. Thank you all.”
R & P

“Recently purchased my first house through Sage and Co, very happy with how everything went, being our first house I didn't have a clue what i was doing but Carol was always there if we needed anything and extremely helpful!”
