“So refreshing compared to our experiences with other agents"

Dream HomeBy the time we met Stuart we had been already been house hunting for a few months. We were speaking to lots of different estate agents, and were being bombarded with calls and emails about apartments that simply weren’t right for us. One of our main objectives was to find somewhere with a beautiful terrace or balcony which we could incorporate into the internal space and give an open and spacious feeling.
After getting in touch initially through Rightmove, Stuart suggested we first meet up for a coffee so he could learn more about why we were moving and get a better understanding of what our dream home might look like.

We loved that he took the time to meet us and actually listen to what we wanted. It was so refreshing compared to our experiences with other agents. It took another few months of searching before we found our perfect place and another few months before we got the keys, but the wait was worth it!
We were delayed by issues further up the chain which were completely out of our control. It was quite an anxious time, but Stuart was always on hand to ensure everything went smoothly, and offered his advice and support at every stage. When it’s time for us to move again, we will definitely be working with Story of Home.
Helped stand out online
After initially struggling to sell our home with one of the leading high street property agents, we were curious when a personal letter taking interest in selling our house from Story of Home arrived in our letterbox. Immediately after seeing Story of Home’s selection of carefully curated, design-led homes on their website, we hoped our […]
Go The Extra Mile
We had been trying to sell our Pimlico flat for about 9 months when we turned to Story of Home. My brothers had met Mathew and Stuart when viewing a property that Story of Home had been engaged to sell, and despite neither of them buying that property in the end, my brothers said they […]
Partner in Property
When I first saw the listing from Story of Home… I paused. The property description was written like a story about the home, its personality, neighbourhood and lifespan. The style of writing was so unusual and it resonated with me. When I met Stuart, something else clicked. He is a curator of beauty and design, he was […]
High Quality Advice
As a property professional myself, I have high expectations of how a property should be marketed. It would be fair to say that Story of Home far exceeded these, with carefully considered photography and curated copy to really sell the intangibles. Beyond the quality of the marketing collateral itself, I was highly impressed by the informed, […]
In Safe Hands
We had been considering moving for a number of years, however the prospect was quite daunting as we had two separate properties to sell simultaneously, one of which was rented out. We decided to take the plunge with one of the local Hackney high street estate agents, unfortunately we didn’t receive many viewings, felt that we […]
Could Be “The One”
After six months of constantly refreshing Rightmove, I saw this place. I brought some friends to the viewing, and we joked that this could be “the one”. Of course, it was love at first sight. As a first-time buyer, I had little understanding of the London home buying process apart from a few stories from […]
Not Your Usual Agents
I was looking for a property in Marylebone for years. Did the usual and registered with all the estate agents, but when I met Stuart he listened to what I wanted and didn’t take me round to see properties for the sake of it. When I finally saw this property, Stuart addressed all my questions, […]
Always Kept Updated
I had been considering moving for quite some time but wasn’t sure if the market was strong enough to achieve the price I wanted. It was also important for me to partner with an agent who I felt was invested in my move, Stuart demonstrated that passion from the first time that we met. His […]
Passionate and Professional
Prior to instructing Story of Home, we were already on the market with a large corporate global agent. There was some initial interest, but we got the feeling that after the first few weeks, we were no longer a priority. Then one evening at a dinner party a friend suggested we should speak to Story […]
Stood Out From The Crowd
We first met Mathew in 2010 when we were looking to buy a pied-a-terre in Marylebone. We didn’t know the area particularly well back then and were speaking with lots of estate agents in Marylebone. It was Mathew who stood out from the crowd. He understood exactly what we wanted and only showed us properties […]
Passionate About London Property
My partner and I have lived in central London for over 15 years and when we started to think about upsizing our London home five years ago, we met with lots of different London estate agents. We both immediately connected with Stuart, he came across as experienced and clearly very passionate about London property. Like […]
We Instantly Clicked
I was first introduced to Stuart and Mathew back in 2005 when I decided to sell my family home in the West End. We instantly clicked. They quickly appreciated this was a big move for me, and approached the sale with professionalism and attentiveness. Stuart found a buyer for the house within a few weeks. […]
