The sale of your family home

The sale of your family home

We have sold many family homes where the owner has owned their property for decades, looking to downsize - this is a move full of emotions.

Some people are excited about the idea of moving to a new, more manageable home and ideally freeing up some equity. Others are anxious, it’s a significant change, and many of the people we help sell and buy haven’t moved home in decades.

We understand that in many cases, you are not just selling bricks and mortar but letting go of treasured memories and deep emotional bonds.

So, we never forget the emotional side of moving. And that’s why we can assure you you’ll always receive a patient, polite, and professional service should you decide to sell your home with us. Our aim is always to help and guide you to make the best decision for you and your future.

A great example of this is a recent sale in Shepperton, our client bought their home in 1967 and completed on the sale in 2021. The property and surrounding area has seen many changes during their 54 years. This was a huge move for them and their children that grew up in the home.

We found a wonderful family that adored the property for all the same reasons as the client did back in 1967. Once completion took place we received an email from the new owner to pass on to the previous family:

'Thank you for building your home throughout your life - walking through the door you can feel life, vibrancy, and joy. Our family will be bringing these into our life. Walking through the door each and every time makes us love our new home, the home you built, more and more.

Thank you and we’ll take good care of your legacy.'

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.

Shepperton's private rental market has changed considerably over the last five years. In 2021, the average monthly rent in Shepperton was £1,380. So far in 2026, that figure stands at £1,968. That is a rise of 42.6%.

April is the final window for landlords in England to prepare for the first phase of the Renters’ Rights Act. With the new tenancy regime starting on 1 May 2026, now is the time to review paperwork, processes and whether self-management still feels realistic.
