Paul’s deep roots in the High Peak date back to the 1930s, when his grandparents relocated from the Yorkshire Dales. They settled in Chapel-en-le-Firth, where Paul’s father was born, and from an early age, Paul developed a strong connection to the region. Despite a distinguished 38-year career in the property industry across the North West, Paul’s passion for the High Peak has remained at the core of his professional journey.

Throughout his career, Paul has worked with renowned firms such as Burlings, Knight Frank, and Cornerstone, cultivating a comprehensive understanding of the property market. This experience, combined with his unwavering commitment to the area, has fueled his passion for delivering exceptional property services.

A major milestone in Paul’s career was the founding of Sutherland Reay, a company he successfully ran for 15 years. However, after careful consideration, Paul decided to take a bold step to create his own distinctive brand, establishing a unique position within the Peak District’s property landscape.

Paul Sutherland Reay Estate & Letting Agents is the new name in the region, offering a bespoke range of services in lettings, sales, and the exclusive Prestige brand. With a strong commitment to delivering a superior level of service, Paul is dedicated to upholding values of integrity, transparency, and professionalism in every client interaction.
As a proud member of the Guild of Property Professionals, Paul ensures that each client receives the highest standard of care and attention. His approach is centered around the belief that clients are the foundation of the business, and he takes immense pride in providing a tailored, client-focused experience that exceeds expectations at every stage of the property journey.
