Stacks Property Finders for North Oxfordshire, North Cotswolds and Warwickshire

Buying a property is one of the largest purchases undertaken in a lifetime, and it can also turn out to be a particularly stressful experience. It therefore seems logical to have an experienced and professional buying agent working on your behalf. We are wholly independent and long established, acting for the buyers only and are not owned by an Estate Agent! Our priority is to protect our clients, the buyers’, interests. Whether you are looking for an estate, a family home, a second home or downsizing we will find it and secure it for you.

The North Oxfordshire, Cotswolds and Warwickshire regional team live and work daily in your market and we will arrange to meet you wherever is convenient for a free consultation. Meeting face to face enables us to obtain a personal understanding of your house search brief, allowing us to search for and assess suitable houses and buildings with your needs, preferences and lifestyle clearly in mind whether town or country.

This office, based just outside Shipston on Stour covers from the City of Oxford along the A40 to Cheltenham, north up the A435 via Evesham to the M42. Around the vM42 north east to junction 6 the A45 to Daventry. South to Banbury on to Brackley and then back to Oxford via Bicester.
