A property professional in both the public and private sector with over 30 years of experience in property and estate agency Stephen is well placed to understand the potential pitfalls of house purchase, rental and the challenges facing buyers or renters relocating for either business or simply seeking their next dream home in a new area.
Often these challenges arise simply because of the distance and time involved in seeking out properties, the best schools, and other local services whilst at the same time often coping with the demands of a new job, not to mention the normal demands of their family.
Over the years, my career as a Chartered Surveyor has taken me to many parts of the U.K. It has always struck me that when looking for property in an unfamiliar area often the only advice on the area available is from the Estate Agent you are actually buying or renting from who is actually, quite rightly, acting on behalf of the seller or landlord. The service offered by County Homesearch not only removes the stress and effort involved in simply finding that dream property, but once found, actually provides an entirely impartial view on the suitability of the property from an experienced property professional who is there to personally assist the buyer with negotiations.
To compliment the Home Finding service Stephen is keen to do much more to provide a complete one stop service if required …this could include, mortgage advice, local solicitors, surveyors, removals, storage facilities, local builders, interior designers, or even a local concierge service for second home owners.
The areas of Oxfordshire, South Warwickshire and rural Berkshire, offer one of the most diverse range of property types available in the UK from the lively City of Spires, Oxford itself, to the many historic market towns in Oxfordshire, South Warwickshire and rural Berkshire plus many beautiful villages all of which have access to an efficient transport network which provides extensive transport links from the true Heart of England to all regions.
Oxfordshire
One of the most beautiful English counties, Oxfordshire stretches across the southern midlands of England from the commuter belt of London up to that of Birmingham. The county is a popular visitor destination famed for its rural beauty, numerous market towns and of course Oxford city itself. With its global reputation for its academic and architectural splendour, The Oxfordshire Cotswolds, located right in the Heart of England, is an area rich in heritage and outstanding natural beauty. Oxfordshire is essentially an agricultural county with rolling hills and meandering river valleys but is also an established centre of ground breaking science, technology and engineering. The main population centre is the university city of Oxford with the remaining population housed in a series of smaller market towns and villages and many picturesque rural villages.
The City of Oxford is just 50 minutes from central London by train or 90 minutes by car and benefits from frequent bus services.
South Warwickshire and South West Northamptonshire
This area includes the commuter belts of both Birmingham and Northampton including a large number of delightful villages, which, whilst truly rural in nature, lie within easy access of these urban centres. Popular villages on the edge of the North Cotswolds including Shipston on Stour, Ilmington, Kineton, and Brailes also offer easy access to the area of outstanding natural beauty which is The Cotswolds but offer locations with a real village community and outstanding local facilities to provide a quality of life that only a few locations can provide.
Rural Berkshire
The western section of the Royal County of Berkshire includes the communities of Newbury, Thatcham and Hungerford and whilst predominantly rural in nature with many pretty village locations including one of the established homes of National Hunt Race Horse training at Lambourn, West Berkshire is also home to several centres of scientific excellence and the World Headquarters of Vodafone at Newbury. A very popular location for people commuting to London, under an hour to London Paddington, the area can offer a very wide range of property types from the traditional village thatched cottage to fine country estates plus a wide range of newly built property to suit all tastes.
