The verdict in three sentences
Bath estate agents selling Georgian townhouses, crescent apartments and country houses will typically see website quotes of 6 000 to 30 000+ GBP from local and Bristol-based agencies in 2026, and 2 000 to 8 000 GBP from freelancers (prudent ballpark, wide because scope varies). Kolonell offers fixed prices of 2 300, 3 900 and 6 900 GBP, native English copy, a project manager on UK hours and delivery in 3 to 4 weeks, or 4 to 6 weeks on Premium with a written schedule. In a city where buyers often arrive from London or abroad and fall for a house's history before its floor area, the best value is property storytelling and heritage detail written well, not an elaborate search tool.
How do Bath quotes compare over three years?
No official grid exists for website prices in Bath. The ranges below are a 2026 ballpark from public rate cards of UK digital agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles and freelance rates on platforms like Upwork. The three-year view matters because retainers and licences keep running after launch.
| Option | Build, 2026 ballpark | Timeline | Copy | Support after launch | Ownership |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bath or Bristol agency | 6 000 to 30 000+ GBP | 8 to 16 weeks | Often quoted separately | Monthly retainer, quoted | Check the contract |
| Property platform template | Setup plus monthly licence, varies | 2 to 6 weeks | Your text in fixed templates | Included while licensed | Site often tied to the licence |
| Freelancer | 2 000 to 8 000 GBP | 4 to 10 weeks | Usually supplied by you | Hourly | Usually yours |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 300 GBP | 3 to 4 weeks | Native copy included | 3 months included | Domain and access yours |
| Kolonell Growth | 3 900 GBP | 3 to 4 weeks | Native copy included | 3 months included | Domain and access yours |
| Kolonell Premium | 6 900 GBP | 4 to 6 weeks | Native copy, content strategy | 6 months included | Domain and access yours |

What does a prime estate agency in Bath need from its site?
| Page or feature | Why it matters in Bath | Kolonell tier |
|---|---|---|
| Property pages with long-form descriptions | Period homes sell on architecture, light and setting | All tiers |
| Large galleries, floor plans, video and virtual tour embeds | Remote buyers from London and abroad shortlist online | All tiers |
| Area guides: the Circus, Lansdown, Widcombe, villages around Bath | Relocating buyers compare streets and schools first | Growth and Premium |
| Valuation request and 'how we sell' page | Wins instructions from vendors | Growth and Premium |
| Discreet enquiry for off-market or 'price on application' homes | Many prime vendors want privacy | Growth and Premium |

A few practical points. Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket keep receiving your listings from your CRM as today; your site complements them. A full bespoke listings back office is quoted separately. We write natively in English and French; other languages are supplied by you or quoted separately. Heritage details buyers ask about, such as listed status, come from your team and are checked before publication.
Compliance, factually: estate agents in the UK must belong to an approved redress scheme, listings must give accurate material information under consumer protection law (National Trading Standards has published guidance), and anti money laundering obligations apply to estate agents. Enquiry and valuation forms collect personal data under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Your director or compliance lead validates the content before launch. This article is not legal advice.
Mini case study
Illustrative example, fictional case: Charlotte runs a boutique prime agency in Bath with two offices' worth of instructions but one team. Her local quote is 20 000 GBP for a bespoke design with a feed. She compares it with Kolonell Premium at 6 900 GBP for a bilingual site, plus a custom feed integration she budgets at 2 000 GBP as a hypothesis until it is quoted. For hosting and care after the support period, she uses one identical assumption: 120 GBP per month for 30 months.
| Item | Local agency | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 20 000 GBP | 6 900 GBP |
| Feed integration | Included | 2 000 GBP (hypothesis, to be quoted) |
| Bilingual FR/EN pages | Quoted separately | Included |
| Hosting and care, 30 months (same hypothesis) | 3 600 GBP | 3 600 GBP |
| 3-year total (hypothesis) | 23 600 GBP | 12 500 GBP |
The gap is 11 100 GBP, roughly 47 % of the local total, before counting the bilingual pages the local quote leaves out.

How do you read a quote without getting caught out?
Ask who writes and checks the property descriptions, whether the domain sits in your name, what the monthly cost is after launch and for how long, and whether you can leave with your design. Be wary of quotes with no written timeline or with guaranteed rankings.
