About Us
James Weston
Founder
James began his career in Estate Agency in the early 2000’s in Mayfair working for one of the biggest and best the best-known agencies. He went on to work in a boutique agency in Marylebone covering high end properties in W1 before moving to John D Wood in in South Kensington where James’s then MD instilled in him to ‘always act in a client’s best interest even above those of the company’s’. A code of conduct he maintains today. Subsequently, over the next 12 years James opened and managed offices in Wandsworth for both John D Wood and Hampton’s International. He involved himself in the local community, organising and fundraising for the Christmas Lights and sponsoring local schools, street parties and sports clubs, earning himself the nickname “Mr Earlsfield.”
For James, estate agency is all about helping people…
“I enjoy the entire process — from listing a property to handing over the keys. I take pride in going the extra mile for clients; I’ve even mown lawns to help present a house! With 20 years of experience and close to a thousand successful transactions I am well-prepared for any challenge and have worked in diverse market conditions.”
James decided he wanted to set up his own estate agency in 2022 and with 3 young boys it made sense to return home to Somerset and enjoy the space and quality of life on offer.
By establishing GP Weston he can do things the way he believes they should be done and take full advantage of the latest technology, (which most of the big agents don’t use due to their vast databases making them unable to adapt without huge upheaval). With no baggage, GP Weston can adapt and adopt to anything that improves the process for their clients. It is an often-used catchphrase, but one James truly lives by: modern service and ideas with traditional values.
Outside of work most of James’ time is spent playing with and looking after his three boys or working on his latest project, a large, ram shackled house in need of complete renovation. When time permits, he is a keen golf & tennis player.

Jessica Grant Peterkin
Founder
With experience spanning over two decades, Jessica has worked with HNW clients, family offices, developers and individuals buying and selling properties in both the commercial and residential property markets.
Jessica worked for some of the leading independent agencies in Prime Central London predominately covering RBKC and Mayfair and brings her expertise to her West Country clients.
Jessica believes in nurturing long lasting relationships through attentive and personal service, regular communication and impartial advice.
“Every client has differing, complex needs which is why there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to estate agency. As independent estate agents we can do more for our clients, we are able to offer a tailor-made, bespoke service, including one point of contact throughout the transaction to ensure our clients enjoy the best possible outcomes.”
Having grown up in Dorset Jessica knows the local area well. Outside of work, she can usually be found on the side line of one of the many excellent local sports clubs, supporting her children across a range of passions, enjoying the wonderful culinary offerings available within the community or embracing the spectacular Jurassic Coastline armed with dogs and a paddle board.

Why Choose GP Weston?
James and Jessica’s aim is to offer a refreshing alternative to the often impersonal and target-driven approach of larger corporate agencies. With over two decades of experience in the competitive Prime London market, GP Weston was born out of their desire to prioritize genuine service over profit-driven targets, bringing a client-focused and transparent approach to the West Country property market. Their goal is to deliver personalized and ethical real estate solutions, ensuring clients receive the attention, support and honesty they deserve in what can often be a stressful process.
By becoming trusted advisors in addition to being valued estate agents, GP Weston sees a massive opportunity for long-term relationship building. If you find a good solicitor, builder, mortgage advisor, or travel agent you reuse their services time and time again so why not the same with estate agents?
GP Weston uses the latest technology, from software programs to drones (as well as embracing social media) in order to showcase your property in the best possible light, reaching the widest audience (or a privileged select few) in order to achieve your desired goals.
Testimonials
James was incredible from start to finish when trying to find our new home, going over and above in every single instance from when we first met to when he gave us the keys. We were on the buy side this time, but we will certainly use him in future for the sell-side also! Thank you so much for all your help James.

After being disappointed with the service and commitment of a long established local agent, I found GP Weston and cannot recommend them enough. Through a difficult sale they were highly skilled. A hard working estate agent with excellent property knowledge and refreshing integrity. I would not hesitate to use GP Weston again and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a dedicated estate agent.

Good morning Jessica. YOU must take the credit for seeing the deal through. You acted at all times with great charm, patience and courtesy – and complete professionalism. I am always quick to complain when things are the other way and it is such a pleasure to be able to commend you for a super job. Great job Jess!”

If you are going into this property malarkey ‘alone’ I cannot recommend GP Weston highly enough! James is amazing, with a wealth of experience as well as offering a brilliant modern way of managing what otherwise could have been an overwhelming experience. James is always researching, advising and offering kind, calm help and guidance. James was even with us on the packing and cleaning days, all my artworks safely stowed…the fastest estate agent with a wheelbarrow you will ever meet and someone who thinks anything is possible.The Southwest is lucky to have GP Weston bringing a fresh optimistic but honest approach to house selling.

Charming and efficient. Jessica has successfully let our property for us two years running. Jessica arranged everything, from finding tenants to ensuring the legal requirements are complied with. We thoroughly recommend GP Weston.

James provided us with a very professional and personal service from valuation, to viewings, through to completion. He was honest but ambitious about what was feasible, using years of expertise and recent market data to determine a realistic valuation. He then conducted all the viewings himself. As small problems with the sale arose (as they do in all property sales), James committed to working with us to resolve quickly. He made himself readily available through the entire process; having a responsive single point of contact, at the end of the phone or a Whats App, really sets him apart from other agents. I would thoroughly recommend James – he sets an example that other agents should follow.
