welcome
2023 was a spectacular year for Luscombe Maye – we celebrated 150 years in business, which is a huge achievement in this fast-changing world and a credit to all those who came before us and have guided the company since 1873.

We are also extremely proud that in 2023 we were the pre-eminent estate agent in the South Hams – successfully selling and letting more property, farms and land in the area than any other agent – a testament to the depth of talent and professionalism within the company.
Our seven estate agency offices across South Devon are staffed by dedicated and committed individuals who are passionate about property and are maintaining our reputation for integrity and honesty within our industry.
This is backed up by a large contingent of specialist professionals within our Farms & Lane Department as well as our Planning Department.
In addition, our in-house Chartered Surveyors provide additional, dedicated services to our clients and therefore, with a truly multi-disciplinary business, unlike many of our competitors, we feel we are in a good place for the next 150 years.
So whether you are just interested in property and land, or you need our skills and advice with regard to your own property here in the South Hams, please enjoy this magazine and reading more about those who make Luscombe Maye ‘happen’ on a day to day basis, as well as our trusted local partners who have collaborated with us in this edition. We are grateful for their support, some of whom have been in business nearly as long as we have! We are here to help so please do contact us whatever your property needs.
