Why Proptrest Exists

Proptrest was founded by Martin Owen, a property-focused professional with over 25 years' experience in the financial services industry and hands-on insight from working with an institutional landlord.

Over decades in the sector, Martin saw the same pattern repeat: people making some of the biggest decisions of their lives with little clarity, limited support, and almost no truly empathetic guidance. Buying or selling a home is deeply personal — yet the industry often treats it like a transaction.

Proptrest was created to change that. A modern agency built on traditional values, where trust, transparency, and genuine care sit at the centre of every interaction.

Our approach is simple: put the customer at the heart of every process, make things clear and easy to understand, and provide honest, constructive challenge when it matters most.

We combine precision, data-driven insight, and operational excellence with a human, founder-led service that ensures clients feel supported, informed, and confident at every step. Proptrest exists because property decisions deserve more than generic advice — they deserve expertise, empathy, and accountability.
