Our Story
A better kind of estate agent — built for the place we call home
Cunningham & Country is an independent, family-run agency founded on a simple idea: that the people of SK6 deserve sharper service, honest advice and fairer fees than the big chains offer.

Meet Alex
Alex has spent the last twelve yearsliving and breathing property. From large high-street branches to the auction room, from new-build developments to lettings and residential sales — he's worked just about every corner of the industry.
That breadth matters. It means when Alex values your home, advises on a development, or finds the right tenant for a landlord, he's drawing on real, first-hand experience — not a script handed down from a regional head office.
He founded Cunningham & Country to do it his way: better service, at a fairer cost, for the area he genuinely loves.
Twelve years, every side of property
Most agents know one lane. Alex has worked across the whole market — and that perspective is exactly what you want in your corner.
Large branch agency
Cut his teeth in busy high-street branches across Greater Manchester.
Property auctions
Fast-paced sales that demand sharp pricing and real market knowledge.
New builds & development
Worked with developers from plot to completion on new-build schemes.
Lettings & management
Hands-on with landlords, tenants and the day-to-day of managed property.
Residential sales
Helping families buy and sell the homes that shape their next chapter.
“I set up Cunningham & Country to bring better service, at a fairer cost, to the area I love. This is home — and I treat every client's move like it's my own.”
Alex Cunningham, Founder & Director
