At Fine & Country we understand moving home is one of the most important decisions you can make; your home is both a financial and emotional investment.

We take the instruction to sell your home as a privilege, an honour and as a very serious commitment to you. Through excellent marketing, we deliver an efficient sales process and a courteous, careful service.

People buy as much into the lifestyle of the property as they do the bricks and mortar. Exclusive properties require a bespoke and imaginative promotional approach. Recognising this, we have designed a unique and successful marketing strategy, enhancing the lifestyle of the property.

The widespread exposure of your property is also crucial. In todays market not only is the mobility of buyers greater than ever, but also the ways in which they may access information.

Your prospective buyer could come from, quite literally, anywhere - through local and regional marketing, through national newspapers and magazines or, increasingly, internationally using the interactive technologies such as the internet, touchscreens and mobile phones.

Instruct us and you could benefit from our knowledge, experience, expertise and contacts and our well trained, educated and courteous staff. You are assisted, advised and informed through each stage of the whole transaction.

Every Fine & Country property consultant is a member of either The Property Ombudsman or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

A strategy for success

It is a case of presenting and promoting your property as if it were our own.

The Old Court


A truly stunning restoration of a Grade II Listed town house. The historic industrial wealth and importance of the North Cotswolds is illustrated perfectly by the unexpected grandeur of some of its architecture and churches, nowhere more so than in Burford where the jewel in its crown is listed by Simon Jenkins amongst his top twenty in Englands Thousand Best Churches. Not only was the church a mirror to Burfords material significance and the focus of artistic sensibilities - a lavish Victorian restoration inspired protesting architect William Morris to set up the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings - it was once also the epicentre of great political turmoil.
