About Sowden Wallis

Who are we?

Sowden Wallis was established in 2014.

Friends Emma Sowden and Tom Wallis realised something was missing from the Stamford property sector: an independent estate agent who put customers at the heart of everything they do.

We set up Sowden Wallis with this thought in mind. Why not focus on the client rather than the property? Getting to know our clients is key to providing the best service we can offer, whether that means over a cup of tea in our cosy office or via a quick email. Whichever way our clients want to communicate with us, we are here for them.

Our home, our community

Sowden Wallis is committed to supporting our local community in the historic market town of Stamford, Lincolnshire.

With both Emma and Tom being sporty types, it was a natural fit for us to become a sponsor for Stamford Town cricket club in recent years. We also sponsored Zak Chappell, an up-and-coming former Stamford Town cricketer who has since been part of England Cricket's bowlers initiatives.

Always keen to help those in need in our community, we donate prizes to the Evergreen Care Trust raffle and are a Beacon Business in their Lighthouse Project, working in partnership to make positive change across Stamford, Bourne and The Deepings. Partner Tom Wallis has also completed the Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Friends programme, which "aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition”.

Testimonials:

March 2022 - Mrs L

What a superb agent! We recently purchased our dream house through Sowden Wallis, and how lucky we were, to find both an amazing house, and excellent estate agent to buy it through all at the same time. Further down the chain there were some unexpected issues and delays that could have potentially up ended everything, but Tom calmly and professionally helped us all navigate the chain throughout the process and helped to calm my worries when things got too stressful! Excellent communication, no question or issue was ever too much trouble. Tom was professional, friendly and reassuring throughout.

Honestly, If I could give an extra star I would! Excellent work Tom, it was a pleasure dealing with you and whilst I sit writing this from our beautiful new home, I wanted to let you know that we are sincerely and genuinely grateful for all your efforts.

November 2021 - Mrs C

October 2016 - Mr and Mrs R

We have just used Sowden and Wallis to sell our home and find our new dream home, we can never ever thank them enough. The support and advice they gave us throughout the whole process was 5*. 

October 2016 - Mr and Mrs S

Tom, Emma and Sarah all played a big part in our move, I would recommend them to anyone selling their house, we used them as their knowledge and professional approach when they showed us around a house we viewed was spot on, they add a more personal touch to moving house unlike some of the bigger named estate agents to who you are just a number!
