It’s well known that moving house is ranked as one of life’s top stressors; anyone who’s sat among a sea of cardboard boxes praying that everything goes to plan will hard relate. Putting your house on the market in the first place can be just as fraught, but a personalised service delivered by seasoned pros can not only speed things along, but result in a smooth sale that surpasses all expectations. Enter Stowhill Estates Buckinghamshire, a high-end indie estate agency headed up by husband and wife team David Rhodes and Sara Alston. 

David’s background in digi innovation and Sara’s experience in project-leadership and customer-focused roles, as well as the pair’s in-depth knowledge of both the premium property market and their South Bucks patch, sets this dynamic duo apart from the high street crowd. There’s no generic displays on dusty office windows here; the process is bespoke from valuation to completion. The number of properties on their books is kept deliberately small, and your home will be carefully valued after a 90-minute visit, after which you’ll be presented with a tailored marketing approach and the kind of insider insight that’s worth its weight in gold. Riverside family home in Marlow? Elegant townhouse in Henley? These two know what makes your property unique, not to mention how to position and showcase it in an ever-changing market. With an eye for beautiful imagery and compelling video content, they’re also brilliant at the nitty gritty; they’re pro data analysts and negotiation ninjas. 

In short, if you’re selling a £1m+ home in the Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross or Amersham area (or even mulling it over), Stowhill Estates should be on speed dial. Did we mention that they’re adept at off-market sales too? Their international, handpicked network of discreet property search experts is another string to their luxe property bow. Stress? We don’t know her.
