Charlie Wells

Managing Director

Buying agent covering large country houses, farms & estates

With a degree in estate management and a property career starting in 1993, Charlie is our go-to expert on everything from manor houses to country estates. Before joining Prime Purchase, he ran the country property team for an independent firm, and also worked as a buying and selling agent specialising in country houses and agricultural properties.

Having worked in the country property market all his career, he has built a reputation for making difficult deals happen, hard work and professionalism. He has been listed in the Spear’s Wealth ‘Top 10 country property experts in Britain’ every year since 2015 and in Chambers High Net Worth guide, an annual directory of the best operators in the private wealth market. He is also a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Charlie was born and bred in the Cotswolds, but now lives on his farm in North Hampshire with his wife and two daughters, who already share their father’s love of country life.

"Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job. Getting this over the line so quickly over a bank holiday weekend and with a demanding seller to contend with is seriously impressive! I think there would have been a very real chance we'd have lost this house if we didn't have such a fantastic team working on this!"

Country house buyer

"We have recently completed the purchase of our new home and could definitely not have achieved it without the hard work and commitment of Charlie Wells."

Country house buyer

"We thought Charlie's experience and contacts in the market for farms was hugely beneficial for both the sale and the purchase side of our recent transaction. He clearly had insights that we would not have been able to develop ourselves."

Farm buyer

"Charlie provided an excellent and balanced summary of the pros and cons of all properties under consideration for purchase immediately after viewing. He did not brush aside the negative factors."
