Founded in 2020 by Alex MacEwen, Dorset Property Search is a locally based Property Search Agency, finding you the best properties both on and off the market in Dorset and South Somerset. We listen to every detail of your brief, to ensure that the properties we present, meet your requirements, and that the entire process is an enjoyable one. We will save you time and money, whilst removing the stress.
Alex, whilst originally from London, has always had strong ties to Dorset. Having spent his school days at Milton Abbey, and his army days at both Bovington and Lulworth, it was only a matter of time before he and his family settled here permanently.
Having studied Estate Management at University, Alex served in the Army before heading to The City in 2007 where he spent the next 11 years working for BlackRock. In 2018, Alex and his family finally decided to relocate from London to Dorset.
At Dorset Property Search, we serve our clients needs first, acting in the strictest of confidence, and with integrity. Being focused on Dorset, and being local, affords us the advantage of knowing what is going on, on the ground. We assist with not only your search, but also with all subsequent aspects of the purchase from dealing with estate agents and solicitors, to local builders and planning consultants if required.
