About us
Originally founded in 2000 as Griffin
Residential,
the company began as a
traditional high-street
estate agent in
Southend-On-Sea.
Following early success and expansion
across the South-East, the business made
the strategic decision during the 2007/08
financial crisis to streamline operations and
focus on delivering high-quality sales and
lettings services from its head office
in Westcliff.


Built for a better
property experience
A smarter way to move
forward
In 2014, the company redefined its direction as technology reshaped the property market, opening new opportunities
for homeowners and agents. This marked the shift towards
a more modern and flexible way of delivering services.

Built for a fully online
experience
Moving away from the traditional branch model,
the business embraced a fully online, national approach.
This allowed for lower costs while maintaining fast,
responsive, and high-quality customer support.

A family business you can
trust
Emoov is led by director Nick Neale, alongside his
son Jacob and daughter Sophie. With a modern mindset and
strong industry experience, the team is focused on
delivering reliable service across the UK.

A journey of growth,
innovation, and transformation
and refining our approach along the way.
