Thomas Morris was established in 1991 at a small office in Eaton Ford, a suburb of St Neots in Cambridgeshire.
Within 2 years the company had opened a second office branch in the market town of Ramsey where they quickly established themselves as the area's leading agent..
1996 saw them amalgamate with Homequest, a respected estate agent with offices in both Huntingdon and St Ives. The company now had 4 strategically located branches in Old Huntingdonshire' and re-located the St Neots operation to probably the most prominent position in the town.
After a brief period of consolidation the company made its first move out of Cambridgeshire and set up a new office in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire during 1998. It was in this year that they acquired an agency in Sawtry, a village to the north of Huntingdon.
A year later the partnership bought 2 offices from Halifax Property Services. One in St Ives, which they converted to a 'mortgage shop' (the 'mortgage shop' and other Financial Services are available through our association with Partners Financial) and the other in Royston, Hertfordshire. This remains their most southerly branch providing access to numerous buyers to the benefit of all offices.
Thomas Morris are affiliated to the National Association Of Estate Agents, are founder members of the Ombudsman Scheme for Independent Estate Agents and in 1994 were awarded the accolade of 'best of breed' by Cendant, the largest relocation company in the world.
In 2000 the company was nominated as one of the top 6 estate agents in the UK and were also awarded the 'Rising Star' accolade in recognition of their progressive approach to estate agency. In March 2001 Thomas Morris Chartered Surveyors was established offering clients a range of survey facilities across the region.
At the end of 2001, Thomas Morris achieved the ultimate accolade for any estate agent - by winning the much coveted Cendant Cup they could now officially claim to be the BEST independent estate agent in the UK.

Always keen to offer additional services to today's demanding consumers, Thomas Morris were one of the first agents in the UK to establish their own firm of property lawyers - Tiger Conveyancing operate on a no-sale, no-fee basis and offer online progress reports and regular text updates to clients via mobile phones.
2002 saw the company nominated for the "Employer of the Year" award. In addition they were awarded the "Top Referral Agent" award and the national "P.R. and Marketing Award" from the Homesale Network.
During 2003, T.M. Training and Development was established to provide specialist training to other estate agents throughout the country. During it's first six months, the company has provided training support to over 20 of the industry's leading players.
The year culminated in yet another national award - this time for the Fine & Country department which specialises in the marketing of prestigious and unusual homes and is based at Park Lane, London.
Expansion continued during 2004 with the opening of Thomas Morris International offering homes abroad in Spain, France, Cyprus, Portgual, Florida and the Bahamas.
The partnership comprises 8 individuals all of which are directly involved in the day to day running of the business with a combined experience of over 150 years! Their philosophy remains one of the 'commitment to quality' focusing on the real needs of both house buyers and sellers. This approach manifests itself in a comprehensive marketing strategy across a range of mediums, combined with perhaps an old fashioned approach that 'personal service still matters'.
