About Us

The islands' estate agents 
since 1989.

We are a small, independent team based and resident on St Mary's. We bring more than 35 years of island market knowledge, an honest approach, and a genuine passion for the Isles of Scilly.

What started as a single-person operation has grown into the most experienced and trusted property team on the islands. In May 2026 Tony rebranded Island Properties as SEA (Scilly Estate Agents).

We deal with domestic and commercial properties, and can advise on the holiday and letting market in partnership with Scilly Self Catering.

We know this market better than anyone. We've watched it change, seen what buyers are looking for, and helped hundreds of people find their place on the islands. That depth of knowledge is something no newcomer can replicate.

We've been here since the beginning.

Founded in 1989, Island Properties is the
longest-established estate agency on the Isles of Scilly. That history isn't just a badge — it's 35+ years of relationships, market knowledge, and trust.

We live here.

We're not an agency managing the islands from the mainland. We are based and resident on St. Mary's. When you work with us, you're working with people who know and love this place.

We keep it simple.

No unnecessary complications, no hard sell. We give you honest advice, present your property well, and work to get the right result.
