Services
Own Homes was established in 2008 and is the brainchild of founders Stephen Harris and Michael Notschild. They are as passionate about property as they were on day one. Over the past decade they've built up a strong and successful team of property specialists, who live and breathe "bricks and mortar".
Before you even begin to work out your next property move, you need to know exactly what you can realise financially for your home, whether you're looking to sell or rent it out. This depends on a multitude of factors including: the current market, condition of your property, recent sales, new developments and changes to planning legislation.
The value of your property depends on a multitude of factors including market conditions, the state and condition of your house, recent sales of nearby properties and even the economic climate. Some of these are within your control to vary and others of course, are not. The team at Own Homes advise on all of these variables and give you tips to help boost the value of your property.
Determining the rental value of a property can be tricky. Of course you want to optimise your profits but you will also want to retain tenant's year on year. At Own Homes, we understand the importance of this and strive to get the right balance for you, placing great tenants into your property who will not only look after it but meet their financial responsibilities to you each month.
A large number of properties on our books, we're proactive and don't just wait for vendors to come to us. Up to date knowledge of the local market. Nobody knows Stevenage, and indeed Hertfordshire, better than we do, when it comes to property. The reality is that buying and selling property can be a painful process.

Own Homes recently let my house and I couldn't recommend them more. Their professionalism, service, attentiveness, responsiveness and attention to detail is more than I ever thought I'd get from them as letting agents. They put in effort with viewings and found a great tenant for my house. I'd advise any landlord going with them. There is a reason why they have the best Google reviews of any lettings agent in Stevenage!

I cannot recommend Own Homes highly enough. I rented a property through them for 8 years and I always found the whole team to be professional, friendly and quick to arrange any repairs that were needed over the years. Their professionalism is second to none, but what really makes their service stand out amongst other agents, is how friendly and caring the team are - as a tenant, I was exceptionally well looked after during my time under their management. Steve, Michelle and Keith are absolute superstars, as are the rest of the Own Homes Team!

Steve, Mike, Natasha and the rest of the team could not have been more helpful and professional throughout our move. Always responsive to all our calls, and carried out all the viewings. A special thanks goes to Steve whose years of experience and wealth of contacts made a stressful time much less so. You can't get service like this with an on-line outfit - you might think you are saving money, but the personal service goes a long way.

Own Homes were excellent start to finish. Buying and selling our home through lock-down was extremely stressful with many set backs but we felt completely supported the entire time and nothing was too much trouble. We mostly dealt with Steve and Tash who were both fantastic and restored my faith in estate agents after years of renting with terrible agencies. We'll be recommending Own Homes to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the future. Thank you again!

Own Homes were recommended to us through friends and family who have used them to buy and sell properties previously, they all spoke very highly of Own Homes and we are so glad we used them.
From the start the communication was fantastic and all the team extremely efficient. Nothing was ever to much for them. What really makes them stand out from the rest, is the fact that once our house was sold, they still continued to communicate with everyone in the chain. We never once had to chase them, If we asked or needed anything they ensured it was dealt with immediately.
We would 100% recommend Own
