Who Are Henley Charles?

Henley Charles is a Birmingham-based estate agent specialising in property sales and lettings across Erdington and Handsworth.

Alongside residential lettings and sales, they work closely with landlords and investors, providing practical guidance on regulation changes and the value of investing locally.

Their website needed to reflect a friendly, local brand while making it easy for buyers, renters and landlords to find relevant properties and information quickly.

About the Project

Henley Charles needed a complete rethink of their existing website. It no longer reflected the business, did not support growth and felt too corporate for a local estate agency built on relationships and trust.

The brief was to rebrand the site, make property discovery the clear priority and present Henley Charles as a friendly, modern Birmingham agent rather than a generic national brand.

We designed a bold but usable interface that puts properties front and centre, supported by strong colour choices and clear navigation. The site was built to make browsing listings and viewing 360-degree property imagery quick and intuitive.

From a technical perspective, the key challenge was integrating the site with a third-party property management system. Properties can now be added once and pushed automatically to the website, Rightmove and other portals, removing duplication and saving time.

We also built in flexibility so property details can be directly on the website without those changes being overwritten by external system updates.

A website the team can manage themselves - Pages, content and updates can be handled in WordPress without technical knowledge, removing reliance on website developers for routine changes.

Easy property system integration - Properties added to Rightmove and other portals are automatically synced to the website, saving time and eliminating duplicate work.

Fast, intuitive property search - Clear filters and search functionality allow buyers and renters to find suitable properties quickly and compare options at a glance.

Increased traffic and enquiries - Improved usability and SEO foundations have driven record monthly traffic, contributing to more viewings and sales generated through the site.

Post Launch

We continue to work with Henley Charles on ongoing SEO campaigns and day-to-day estate agent website development.

Early progress focused on local visibility. Within three months, the site moved from page five to page one for key local search terms, including a number one ranking where competition was strongest.

Since then, sustained SEO work has more than tripled website traffic. That growth has translated into increased enquiries, more property viewings and a steady rise in new instructions from sellers, with the site now ranking for hundreds more local keywords than it did at launch.
