INDEPENDENT. LOCAL. HERE WHEN YOU NEED US.
Your independent estate agents in Blackburn
Lock & Key is an independent estate and letting agency based in Blackburn. We help people sell, let, buy and rent across Lancashire with clear advice and a personal service.
More than photographs
Professional photography, floor plans and 360° virtual tours help you understand a property before arranging a visit.
Appointments around life
We offer evening, Saturday and Sunday viewings. We can sometimes arrange a same-day appointment when a property is vacant or, for a sale, the seller has agreed to a short-notice viewing, subject to team availability.
Here seven days a week
Our phones are open 8am–10pm every day, including Sundays, so you can reach us around work and family life.
HOW WE WORK
The property comes first.
We turn up as ourselves, without uniforms, and let the property lead the conversation. We do not work to sales targets. If we do not sell or let a property, we do not earn our fee. That keeps us focused on finding the right people for the right place and following through until the job is done.
WHAT WE DO
One team, from first conversation to the next chapter.
We handle property sales, lettings, management and auctions. Our marketing and viewings are backed by straightforward updates and hands-on support as a sale or tenancy progresses.
