About

The Modern House is an estate agency that helps people live in more thoughtful and beautiful ways. We believe in design as a powerful force for good. Inspired by the principles of modernism, we represent design-led homes across the UK that pay attention to space, light, materials, nature and decoration. Esquire credits The Modern House with “rewriting the rulebook on estate agency” and GQ voted us “one of the best things in the world”. The Modern House is a Certified B Corporation, part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.

OUR VALUES
We believe in adding value
To you, to your home, to your experience. We do this through our service, insight, expertise, presentation and superior reach.
OUR VALUES
We believe in being human
We’re obsessive about the service we offer. Your home is likely your primary financial and emotional asset, and deserves only the most dedicated and empathetic individuals representing it. We exist to provide an alternative to the ‘shiny suit’ experience, seeing estate agency as being about relationship building, trust and empathy.
OUR VALUES
We believe in building a likeminded community of design lovers
Our audience isn’t location, age or profile specific. What unites our community, though, is an appreciation of the impact a home has on personal well-being and a willingness to invest in the value of design. Our network’s shared interests and collective appreciation means they will ‘get’ your house, even if your friends don’t.
OUR VALUES
We believe in better homes
By acting as a filter for the best homes on the market, we attract buyers who are flexible about location and instead place the quality of the home at the centre of their search. By turning down almost as much work as we take on, we keep the standard of our offering high so that buyers trust our ability to show them only what’s worth seeing. In turn, our Directory of design practices is a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in making a better home, regardless of budget.

Thought Leadership
An authority on good design
Our name is inspired by F.R.S. Yorke's celebrated book 'The Modern House' (1934), which introduced Modern Movement architecture to a British audience. As the agency has developed, we've become recognised as experts on modern architecture and design. We have gone on to publish two of our own books on the subject, and our co-founder Matt Gibberd has written a third book on the five timeless design principles that the homes we sell tend to pay attention to.
