Nick’s passion for property began several decades ago whilst renovating houses and creating a buy-to-let portfolio, alongside his interior designer wife. He loved what he did but missed the client interactions and problem solving he’d enjoyed in corporate life. And so, when the opportunity came to join Stacks – the place property buying began – he seized it and hasn’t looked back. Nick has personal experience of commuting and raising a family in the area, and can relate to the challenges being faced by many clients.

Since 2004, Nick has secured a wide variety of homes, as well as land, for clients across the Thames Valley. From town to country, and everything in between, Nick thrives on matching people to property. To do this, he focuses on really getting to know buyers and testing their requirements, and combines excellent interpersonal skills with local market knowledge. A skilled negotiator and creative problem solver, Nick offers a highly personal, professional service. From visiting properties in advance, to chauffeuring clients to viewings, providing objective insights to specific properties, to managing communications with surveyors, solicitors, lenders and tradespeople, Nick does all this to ensure a seamless and stress-free process, from start to finish.

“Working in an estate agency, I found myself showing buyers more and more sympathy – knowing just how difficult it is to even step foot inside a property, let alone secure it. Agents are ‘employed’ and have the vendor’s best interests at heart, no one has the buyer’s back, well, until now that is…”

For Hayley, teaming up with Nick (and walking in Phil and Kirsty’s shoes) makes perfect sense as she too has a long-standing obsession with, and detailed knowledge of the property sector. It was relocating back to the UK from Sydney that opened her eyes to the challenges of first finding and then securing a home. Since then, she’s taken every opportunity to help others both personally and professionally.

Having lived in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire for most of her life, Hayley combines local knowledge with a detailed understanding of the market and strong connections within the property sector. Having worked in London, she’s tried and tested the commuter routes and has personal experience of school catchments and the lifestyle the area offers young families. Her vivacious personality, customer-focused approach and determination to succeed make her the perfect addition to any property search team.
