About

Meet Brigitte

My first experience in the property industry began in Hong Kong, where I engaged with local and expatriate clients looking to purchase in London. My career in Cheltenham began  in 2001, where I worked with both international and local independent agencies. 

My enthusiasm, passion, and energy for estate agency has fuelled my continuous growth and solid reputation within the industry. I approach every endeavour with tenacity, integrity and transparency.  I strive to provide a personalised and tailored service, whilst building a strong relationship with each individual client ensuring their needs and preferences are understood and met.

My personal life provides the foundation for me to enjoy what I do every day. I relish the times with family and friends relaxing over a fabulous long lunch or a beautiful country walk. I thrive on a good work out at the gym and, if I have a quiet moment, I enjoy my time baking.

I am so excited about my new venture and have full confidence in my ability to bring a fresh, independent perspective to the property market, providing clients with a truly exceptional experience.

Reviews

Althorp & Co found a cash buyer just 24 hours after putting our house on Rightmove. Brigitte then negotiated the conveyance so brilliantly that we completed the sale in 40 days after accepting the offer. But this amazing achievement fails to explain how Brigitte so softly, so expertly, engineered this important change in the life of our family. The heart of Brigitte’s success is, literally, her heart. Her long professional expertise is underpinned by an exceptional empathy for the stress and worry that comes with selling and moving house. Brigitte, and her highly organised team stepped into an extremely complex situation to take command and, above and beyond all else, to take care of my family. They worked tirelessly to a very strict schedule. Brigitte was always available to take our calls and to ease the pressure. Now the dust has settled, we’re actually living in the theoretical future which, just a few weeks ago, we could only imagine and hope for. For us, this trick was turn-key simple – to entrust the whole project into the capable hands of Brigitte Althorp-Gormlay and her impressive network of contractors. To anyone reading this reference, we strongly recommend that you do the same.

It is so good to have found you again! You helped Roger and I purchase a house in Cheltenham a couple of years ago. I just wanted to thank you for your outstanding help at that time. You were just the best Estate Agent we have ever house hunted with. You had a real grip on or wants and needs and made the process very easy for us. Good luck with your new company.

I am a full time residential property landlord and have sold many flats and houses, I engaged Brigitte Althorp-Gormlay to market and sell my period town house in Cheltenham. Brigitte prepared the full marketing brochure, the photographs, video and word content and are the best I’ve seen in the last 20 years. Brigitte also goes much further and engages other associate services, ranging from house decoration to dressing in order to give the vendor the best possible opportunity to sell, which I feel is necessary under current market conditions. Other estate agents simply offer the passive approach by advertising properties and waiting for the phone to ring, Brigitte doesn’t do that, she is proactive and explores all marketing and sale avenues.

We recently sold my house through Althorp & Co Estate Agency, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Brigitte. From our very first conversation, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly approachable. She kept us informed at every stage of the process, offering honest advice and always responding quickly to any questions we had. Brigitte’s experience really showed in how smoothly the sale went from arranging viewings to negotiating the final offer, everything was handled with care and efficiency. What really stood out was her personal touch; she genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for us and made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. We would highly recommend Brigitte and the team at Althorp & Co Estate Agency to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you for all your hard work and support!

We’ve had the pleasure of knowing Brigitte for five years, and during that time, she has guided us through two house moves with unwavering dedication and outstanding service. From start to finish, Brigitte has been a true professional, combining her warmth and expertise to ensure a seamless experience. Brigitte didn’t just help us sell our home, she transformed it. Through her strategic staging, thoughtful placements, and the creation of a stunning marketing brochure, our family home was elevated from a chaotic family home into a timeless and elegant townhouse that we were proud to showcase. No task was ever too small for Brigitte. She was always there, guiding us every step of the way. She truly understood our worries, always made herself available, and took on the pressures so that we didn’t have to. Her care and compassion meant the world to us, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares not just about her clients, but about their homes and their future happiness. Brigitte, thank you enough for going above and beyond for us. It has been an absolute joy working with you, and we wholeheartedly recommend Althorp & Co to anyone looking for a personalised, first-class experience.
