Property Finding

We recently commissioned the services of Stephen whom we have known for many years so have long been aware of his highly professional conduct and enthusiasm for his work.

Stephen sold our house locally in Wimbledon Village recently, during a difficult time for vendors using his considerable diplomatic skills to actively sell the benefits of our house together with the joys of living in Wimbledon Village over other parts of South West London. His diplomatic skills made all the difference to our sale and we will always be grateful to him..

His 30 years or so working in Wimbledon Village has enabled him to establish a huge range of clients and contacts which enables him to match make buyers and sellers so we would not hesitate to recommend him.

Stephen Ashby handled two sales for our family. First, my parents’ Wimbledon home; then the home my mother had moved to, which he sold for us after her death. That we went back to him for the second, far harder sale says most of what needs saying.

Both sales were in difficult markets, and he achieved the best prices possible on each. But what we valued most was how he handled the circumstances: these were emotionally difficult times, and he was always available – to talk, to advise, to explain where we stood. He was straightforward and entirely trustworthy throughout, and he guided us thoughtfully and professionally through every difficulty.

We dealt with Stephen at his previous firm; he has since set up as Stephen Ashby & Co, and I’m glad to recommend him here without reservation

We have known Stephen for over 30 years, and he has managed numerous transactions for us in the Wimbledon Village area, including development purchases and sales, as well as house moves for us and our families.  Stephen is always incredibly helpful, calm and motivated and he will always go the extra mile to get a transaction over the line, nothing is too much trouble. The benefits of his tremendous experience really makes a difference, particularly with a difficult transaction.  We would highly recommend Stephen! 

We bought a property in Wimbledon Village a couple of years ago. The whole process was handled seamlessly, and with great finesse, by Stephen Ashby. From viewing to final offer acceptance, all of the negotiations were brokered by Stephen and were characterised by his sage advice and timely feedback to a very satisfactory conclusion. We would have no hesitation in recommending Stephen to any other prospective buyers or sellers.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Stephen for many years and have always found him to be honest, approachable, and someone of real integrity. He is committed to providing excellent service and genuinely cares about the people he works with.

I’ve had a great experience working with Stephen. He’s professional, approachable, and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for his clients. Communication is always clear and honest, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. I’d happily recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable estate agent.

This morning I saw a sign up with your name on it and just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your new venture. I appreciated your help in selling my SW19 property this year in what was, on reflection, a particularly difficult market period. You are the ‘oracle’ of SW19 real estate.  I found you genuine, realistic and engaged throughout to completion which I appreciated.

Competence and integrity. They are the only two competencies we need to see in the people we trust to do business on our behalf. In more than a decade of knowing Stephen I have seen again and again that he possesses both these qualities in abundance.  His many clients, won and retained over three decades, will attest to his hard work, his honesty and his success in always working in their best interests. When I come to sell my property in a year or so, I will look no further than Stephen to act on my behalf.

When a friend recently mentioned she wanted to sell her home in Wimbledon Village, I immediately thought to recommend Stephen Ashby.  I bought my own home in the Village through Stephen some years ago and I so valued his guidance and support during the process – nothing was too much to ask. He offers genuine and honest advice, so that the decisions you take are right for you. What could have been a fraught transaction went seamlessly, without drama. Stephen is a rare gentleman in the property industry, and someone I can happily recommend.”

I’ve known Stephen Ashby for many years. He has long been the agent I call first for honest property advice in Wimbledon Village. His local knowledge is second to none. Stephen is a gentleman and an experienced and trustworthy professional. When I heard he was setting up on his own, I was delighted – that move is long overdue! I really cannot recommend Stephen highly enough.
