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.'

Get in touch with us

As we enter a new year, many local homeowners are facing a familiar question. Should they bring their Shepperton home to market in January, or wait until the late spring?

Newboulds & Co provide a director-led service. That means every communication our client has with us is with one of four working directors, with a combined industry experience of almost 90 years.

If you want to move in 2026, positioning yourself as a serious buyer is essential. Here’s how to put yourself ahead of the competition and be taken seriously by sellers.

When you look back at the average rents achieved in Shepperton over the last five years, from 2021 through to 2025, a clear pattern emerges. Shepperton saw extraordinary growth in rents as the market experienced a period of exceptional pressure post pandemic, yet in the last 12 months, is now settling into something far more measured.
