Sell your South Gloucestershire home with confidence
25 years of customer-first service, now dedicated to helping you sell your home the way it should be done
Our Services
Property Sales
I handle every viewing, every negotiation, and every update personally. After 25 years in financial services, I know big decisions deserve proper attention.
Free Valuations
A realistic assessment of what your home is actually worth — not an inflated figure to win your business. Free, no-obligation, and based on real market data.
Know Your Property's Position Before You Go to Market
Before we agree a price or book a photographer, I spend time checking the things that can quietly derail a sale. It's called the Asset Health Index — my way of making sure your home is genuinely ready, not just listed.
Why Choose Proptrest?
One Person, Total Attention
You deal with me directly — no juniors, no call centres, no being passed between departments
I've Been Where You Are
Selling a home is stressful. I've spent 25 years helping people through big financial decisions, and I know what good support actually looks like.
25 Years of Actually Caring
I didn't learn customer service from a training manual. I learned it from 25 years of sitting across the table from people making the biggest decisions of their lives.
Small by Design
Fewer properties means more attention for you. This isn't small because it's new — it's small on purpose.

Meet Martin Owen
I spent 20 years at Lloyds Bank helping people with the biggest financial decisions of their lives. Then I worked with a large property landlord and saw the other side — how the industry actually treats people. Too many sellers left in the dark. Too many buyers feeling ignored. I started Proptrest because I knew it could be done better.
My approach is simple: be straight with people and do what you say you'll do. I'll tell you what your home is worth honestly, keep you updated without you having to chase, and actually pick up the phone when you call. I'm the only person you'll deal with, and I'm accountable for everything.
What You Can Expect
Regular Updates
You'll hear from me after every viewing and whenever there's news. No chasing required.
No Surprises
I'll tell you my fees upfront. The valuation reflects real market data, not what I think you want to hear. If something comes up during the sale, you'll know about it straight away — not three weeks later in an email.
Personal Attention
Fewer properties means more time on yours.
Quality Over Volume
Some agents want to list everything on the street. I'd rather sell your home properly — good photos, the right price, buyers who are actually serious.
