About Us
We launched Stowhill Estates Berkshire in 2023 with a very clear mission – to better serve the prime property market in Berkshire and to improve the perception of estate agency.
Hi There!
We are Tim & Julia

Before setting up Stowhill Estates Berkshire, neither of us were estate agents. Julia had a very successful career in marketing in the wine industry and Tim worked with technology companies all over the world in sales and relationship management.
The skill sets and knowledge we built over the last 20 years in business provided the perfect foundation for launching Stowhill Estates Berkshire. In turn, that has allowed us to apply that experience in a capacity that feels more meaningful, personalised and ultimately, more rewarding.
For us, this business is about more than selling prime property – it’s about people. It’s about building relationships, taking away stress, and turning a daunting process into an enjoyable one. We care about doing the right thing, we care about our clients and we’re proud that the people we work with feel looked after and supported from start to finish.
We live in Warfield with our Labrador Amber, who came to us through volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. We love being part of the local community – whether that’s at local music events, village shows or just chatting to people in the pub. We both have arguably too many hobbies and life is certainly full, but that’s exactly how we like it!

What make Tim tick?
I have always been fascinated by the property market, especially as a lifelong Berkshire resident. It’s fair to say I have seen many changes in the local area over that time having lived inWokingham, Caversham and Warfield.
Having the opportunity to work with some amazing clients has been hugely enjoyable over the last few years. Knowing that I am a small part of shaping the story of their lives is incredibly rewarding and a real privilege.
Buying and selling a home is intensely personal. We have learned an awful lot about how best to support people on that journey, but every single one is different. Everyone has their own unique circumstances and needs to be met. That’s what I love about what we do – it’s never boring!

Julia Haycocks
Who is Julia?
Having spent a decade in the wine industry, people thought I was mad for giving up the ‘dream job’. However, finding people their perfect home excites me even more than finding them a delicious glass of wine!
I’ve been working in marketing for over 20 years and have been fortunate enough to be involved in many aspects of several industries. From customer marketing, to innovation, from Head of Marketing for a beer club, to brand manager for an Australian wine brand (appropriately named RedHeads!). It’s fair to say, if you need wine advice, I’m your girl.
Having the chance to be part of people’s lives in a more personal way is something I find incredibly rewarding. Tim and I love nothing more than spending time with people and building meaningful relationships. The importance of the ‘people’ aspect of property transactions cannot be overstated.
Away from work, I’m a volunteer for various projects, charities and organisations. Litter picking in our local area, volunteering for Guide Dogs for the Blind or supporting local animal charities to name a few! I also love being creative; photography, painting, sculpting, glass-blowing … you name it, I’ve tried it! I’m very much a fair-weather golfer but when the conditions turn, you’ll always find me daydreaming of my next snowboarding holiday.
