I am delighted and proud to announce that we will be working alongside locally renowned estate agent, Butler Sherborn, The Cotswolds Property Specialist. Claire Halstead Interiors will be offering sellers and prospective buyers alike, a personal and individualised ‘House Moving Service’.

This service is designed to help clients present their property to the market in the best possible way,  or to help clients make difficult decisions in respect of the interiors of a property, which may require a great deal of work, but with the right help and advice your dreams could become reality. These are just a couple of the ways we hope to be able to help. All advice will be offered with an affordable, sustainable and realistic approach.

Who is Butler Sherborn?

Butler Sherborn is the Cotswolds Property Specialist and is the independent alternative to national agents. The firm’s ethos is about loyalty to every single client and complete commitment to the work  conducted on their behalf. As a business, Butler Sherborn is passionate about the Cotswold area, in growing its success, in supporting local causes, and very much being part of its fabric. The firm believes this appreciation of the region, in which its members are privileged to live and work, ensures its success. The best reason to use Butler Sherborn is expressed time and again by our many delighted clients.

Who is Claire Halstead Interiors?

Claire Halstead has worked in the property industry for 20 years and has decided to fulfil her lifelong dream of specialising in Interior Design. She is unparalleled in her passion for creating beautiful spaces, having a true eye for detail and creating solutions to problems you didn’t even know existed. Professionalism and providing the highest level of service comes naturally to Claire and she is already receiving referrals from very happy clients. We want to provide The Cotswolds with a fresh, affordable spin on current Interior Design offerings, we have so many services for you to discover with flexible, quick, friendly and unique solutions.

Why are we offering this service?

As I have mentioned previously, I have worked and loved working in the property industry for my entire career. I also bought a lovely house from Butler Sherborn not so long ago! My husband and I dealt with Elizabeth in the Stow office, she successfully helped us navigate through difficult times and was always communicative and friendly. When I had the idea of this ‘House Moving Service’ naturally, Butler Sherborn was the first agent I thought of. Luckily, they think it is as good an idea, as I do.

I am drawing on my years of experience, knowing how many decisions must be made and how stressful it can be viewing house after house. How sometimes you wish the kitchen was in another room but don’t understand the costs involved, so quickly discount the house, or how there isn’t always the property that you really wanted in the right location, but with a bit of imagination this one particular house could be amazing. Luckily I have that imagination! In abundance. Houses have always been so important to me since a child and I still feel the same passion and interest for them in my 40’s…

Also, we all know many people move to The Cotswolds from other areas (me included, because why would you live anywhere else??) so you are unlikely to know trustworthy contractors etc.  Claire Halstead Interiors will be able to help you build your dream home and shoulder some of the stress and difficult decision making along the way. In an affordable way….because everything…not only house prices….is expensive these days.

What are the costs?

The initial consultation will be free, and then we offer many different options from a Room by Room service, to designs and report only, and a Full Interior Design Service.

Who should I contact?

If you would like to know more about this service, please contact either Butler Sherborn or myself directly, we are so excited to help you on your journey.

There are simple steps Sellers and Buyers can take in advance to help ensure the process is as smooth as possible. The key approach is to reduce as many ‘sales irritants’ as you can and to be well prepared in advance. This will reduce the likelihood of issues arriving between the parties.

Cotswold Residential Market - Stow-on-the-Wold – Helen Whitfield

The residential market around Stow-on-the-Wold has been incredibly active during this current period of political uncertainty, and there have been some notable sales. Many properties are still selling privately under competitive bidding. That being said, the headline guide price needs to be realistic, and the best results are still on the turnkey properties.
