Bio

Design and architecture have always shaped the way I see homes. Since joining Hortons in 2020, I've focused on building our presence across Leicester's most thoughtfully designed properties, working closely with photographers and filmmakers to present each home with honesty, care and an understanding of what makes it distinctive.

Property has been my profession since I was 18. I began my career with a national estate agency, becoming the company’s youngest senior manager at 22 while leading its flagship city-centre office. Those years gave me a thorough understanding of the industry, but also showed me the limitations of a volume-driven approach. Homes with architectural merit deserve time, thoughtful marketing and a more considered way of being represented. When Adam Horton invited me to join Hortons as a Partner in 2020, it offered the opportunity to work in exactly that way.

Many of the homes I represent share a common thread: they have been carefully designed, sensitively restored or thoughtfully altered over time. From Victorian villas in Clarendon Park to 1930s houses in Knighton and family homes across Stoneygate and Oadby, I look for qualities that go beyond square footage but instead light, proportion, materials and the decisions that give a house its character. Every home has its own story, and my role is to reveal it through carefully considered photography, film and writing.

A Personal Approach

From our first conversation to the day the keys are handed over, you'll deal with me throughout. I write every description, shape the marketing, direct the photography, conduct the viewings and negotiate every offer. While I'm supported by an experienced team behind the scenes, I remain your single point of contact from beginning to end. I believe that continuity matters; the person introducing buyers to your home should also be the one representing its value when it comes to negotiation.

Knowing Place

I work predominantly across Stoneygate, Clarendon Park, Knighton and Oadby, and I also call Stoneygate home. These are neighbourhoods with distinct identities, where value is often shaped by details that aren't immediately obvious. Individual streets, plot sizes, architectural provenance and the way homes relate to their surroundings. That local knowledge allows me to position each property within its proper context, helping buyers understand not just the house itself, but the place it belongs.

"Hortons, and Gianfranco in particular, have been absolutely wonderful throughout the sale of our house. We considered several other estate agents, but Gianfranco was the person who truly made us feel at ease with the entire process from the very beginning. During difficult moments of uncertainty, he was always there to reassure us. He remained approachable, responsive, and highly professional throughout. At times the stress of the regular sale process was intense, but he always listened patiently to our concerns and offered thoughtful, honest advice. His support, expertise and dedication made a challenging process much easier to navigate. We cannot recommend
Gianfranco and the team at Hortons highly enough."

"We cannot thank Gianfranco Paparozzi enough for the phenomenal service he provided in selling our home. After switching from another agent to Gianfranco, our house sold within a week — a result that speaks volumes about his commitment and expertise. From the very beginning, Gianfranco was incredibly proactive, fully informed, and absolutely determined to get our property sold. His communication throughout the process was flawless; he kept us and our
buyer updated at every stage and was always available to answer questions or provide guidance. What truly sets Gianfranco apart is his professionalism combined with a genuinely personable approach. He made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. His energy, dedication, and attention to detail have been second to none. We
wholeheartedly recommend Gianfranco to anyone looking to sell their home. He is exceptional at what he does, and we’re incredibly grateful for his hard work and support."
