Getting things right for each of our clients every time is what drives us - that’s why we sell more prestige homes than any of our rivals in the areas we cover
We were extremely impressed by the pragmatic approach of the whole team at Seymours Prestige Homes when selling. From the start the team ensured that everything we did in presenting the property to market contributed towards attracting a sale. Advice was given on some subtle changes to the dressing of the house which in turn led to some excellent photography that helped it to stand out from others on the market at the time. Viewings were conducted in a very professional manner and all staff took the time to ensure that they knew the important details of the house enabling them to convey this to potential purchasers. Regular communication throughout the sale process allowed us to establish a good dialogue with our buyer and helped to reduce the stress for all involved. In what was a difficult market, Seymours Prestige Homes proved that they excel in selling. MR & MRS BAUER

An Affluent Customer Base Our selective marketing techniques allow us to introduce potential buyers that our competitors are unable to reach. One of the ways we do this is by connecting with premium relocation agents who research property on behalf of their own clients. These buyers include private high net worth individuals, well known wealth management companies and banks. These specialists are prepared to invest heavily in the right property for their clients. Before we present you with viewings and offers we’ll pre-qualify prospective purchasers to ensure they are a suitable fit for you and your property. We only introduce buyers who are happy to work to your timescales and are in a financial position to proceed with the purchase. This approach plays an important role in our efficient route to a successful sale.

We currently have just over 4,000 buyers registered with an address in London who are looking to buy within our network coverage.

Elena Romanova Interiors Situated in Surbiton, Elena Romanova Interiors has been one of Surrey and South West London’s premier design agency for several years. According to Elena, the bespoke, personal, one-to-one services are dedicated to helping clients create a ‘true sense of place, reflecting your desires, personality, and style’. “This spring is bringing a modern artisan feel,” says Elena. “It has a serene, subdued colour palette interspersed with warmer tones of terracotta, coral and muted pinks. “With everything going on in the world it feels like people are looking for something very soothing which will be reflected in bedroom pieces and styles. However, having said that, if people are looking to go bolder then wallpaper is very much back - and whole rooms too, featuring bright patterns.” Elena says that as people continue to work from home, the need to find a cosy corner amid the open-plan living is also something to watch this year. She says: “Granny chic may be making a bit of a move over the next few months but overall, the theme for spring is definitely warm whether that’s walls, floors or soft furnishings.” Visit: elenainteriors.co.uk

The upstairs layout of this house is exceptional. The landing is a bright and airy space which has room for a table and sofa and there is a set of doors which leads directly out to a covered balcony overlooking the garden which is a delightful place in the morning or evening, in rain or shine soaking in the delightful views. The master suite is a selfishly large space complete with a dressing areas with extensive his and hers wardrobes and luxury en suite with double width walk in shower and his and her sinks. There is also the added benefit here of air conditioning and double aspect windows offering views of the rear and side gardens. Bedroom two and three are large double rooms have their en suite showers one of which is a great size walk in and sit down stream room. Bedroom four and five are also double bedrooms, both have built in wardrobes and share the use of the family bathroom. All bath and shower rooms are fitted with very high end sanitary ware and marble tiles complete with underfloor heating.
A huge amount of thought and attention to detail has gone into the work that has been carried out, a fact which shines through in almost every corner of the house both in terms of the layout and the quality of the finish.

Copper Beech Close - Hook Heath Quietly nestled at the end of a small cul de sac in the heart of Hook Heath this is a truly exceptional home which has been the subject of a meticulous programme of modernisation resulting in a remarkable finish throughout the house as well as the beautiful gardens. GUIDE PRICE £2,500,000
This is a house that works exceptionally well on a number of different levels whether that be for day to day family life or indeed entertaining and which has a perfect blend of open plan and separate living areas which also allows for great deal of versatility to the way in which the accommodation can be used. Right from the very start there is a feeling of light and space which runs through the house as a whole that is immediately apparent from the reception hall which looks through a fabulous open tread staircase and on into a substantial open plan living area across the whole of the back of the house. This space is very much open to interpretation in its use, currently a beautifully airy sitting/dining room with exceptional views out over the rear garden and a set of bi-folding doors which lead out onto a large area of decking covered by a vine clad loggia. This part of the house works exceptionally well with the garden and during the spring and summer months creates a superb indoor/outdoor space, wonderful for entertaining.

The adjacent kitchen is impeccably fitted out with granite worksurfaces and a combination of high gloss and wood units with a whole range of high end integrated ‘Miele’ appliances and a wonderful outlook to the side over a small Japanese style garden with cascading water feature. The kitchen also opens into a beautiful conservatory which makes a wonderful place to sit and look out over the garden and which also has double opening doors that lead out onto the deck. To the front of the house, there is a substantial formal sitting room with a beautifully tiled floor which makes a delightful separate living area. All tiled areas are ‘Travertine’ marble and have underfloor heating. On the other side of the hallway there is a further reception which was formally used as a gym and is currently in the process of being converted in to a downstairs bedroom with en suite shower. There are two sets of double opening doors that lead out onto the covered terrace at the side of the house which looks out over the lower part of the garden. This work can be finished or stopped if not required.
At the front of the property there is a large driveway that allows for the off road parking of numerous cars and which leads to a detached double width garage with a large store room beneath. As with the house, the garden has been landscaped with huge imagination and thought and is very much part of what makes this such an exceptional home. Around the back of the house there are various terrace areas which wrap around from the side to rear enjoying a sunny south and west aspect. A recent edition at cost of Circa £60k is a stunning Eco Cabin complete with air con and sliding doors out to the gardens. This is currently used as a gym and home office and offers and incredible retreat that is both visually pleasing and practical. Some of this area is covered by vine clad loggias which create a wonderful spot for eating outside during the spring and the summer months. The main rear part of the garden is neatly laid to lawn with a large terrace which is ideally positioned adjacent to the outdoor kitchen. Once again this has been created with every thought given to the detail and is a superb solid oak framed structure with a glass roof, a built in barbecue, hob, pizza oven, wine fridge and beautiful slate worksurfaces. It is unusual to say the least to see an outside cooking area of this quality and it works extremely well.

Discreet Marketing Some of our clients prefer privacy and a more discreet approach to the sale of their high-end home for many different reasons. Thankfully the days of a ‘For Sale’ board and a picture in a local branch window being the main tools of the estate agent are long gone. We are experts in ‘off market’ sales for premium properties. Our extensive database of pre-vetted potential buyers is another one of the reasons we outperform rival agents, because we can discreetly bring your property to their attention without any fanfare or fuss. Buyers who register with us find out about properties that they wouldn’t know about otherwise. It’s a perfect private ‘matchmaking’ approach that leads to real results.
seymours-estates.co.uk/prestige
Targeted Social Media Of course, our stunning videography and photography are optimised for use on social media, but the amount of data available and how it’s used to our clients’ advantage on Social Media is mind boggling. Reaction and engagement are closely monitored and we are taking full advantage of this with some wizardry in the background, to ensure your home lands in social media feeds of people who match the profiles of those already showing an interest in similar premium homes. In essence, this innovative approach means we don’t just pop it online and wait for buyers to find your home - we pro actively make sure your home is seen online, often resulting in enquiries from buyers at the very start of their search journey.
