Introduction
Thank you for recommending Stowhill Estates Berkshire.
Our business has always been built on personal recommendations and we’re incredibly grateful every time someone trusts us enough to introduce us to a friend, family member, neighbour or colleague.
These terms explain how our referral scheme works.
1. The Referral Reward
Eligible referrals can receive:
- £100 when the referred homeowner formally instructs Stowhill Estates Berkshire to market their property.
- A further £200 when the sale of that property legally completes through Stowhill Estates Berkshire.
The maximum reward payable for any qualifying referral is £300.
2. Who Can Refer Someone?
You must:
- be aged 18 or over
- make a genuine personal recommendation
- have spoken to the homeowner before submitting the referral
- have the homeowner’s permission to share their contact details with us
By submitting a referral, you confirm that the homeowner is happy for Stowhill Estates Berkshire to contact them regarding the sale of their property.
3. How the Referral Process Works
- Speak to the homeowner about Stowhill Estates Berkshire.
- Obtain their permission for us to contact them.
- Complete the referral form on our website.
- We’ll contact the homeowner and let them know that you recommended us.
- If your referral qualifies, we’ll arrange payment when each reward milestone has been reached.
4. Qualifying Referrals
To qualify for a reward:
- the homeowner must not already be an existing Stowhill Estates Berkshire client
- they must not already have booked a valuation or market appraisal with us
- they must not already be in active discussions with us about selling their property
- the referral must be submitted before they formally instruct us
- the introduction must be genuine and made with the homeowner’s knowledge
We reserve the right to determine whether a referral is eligible based on our records.
5. Existing Leads & Duplicate Referrals
Occasionally more than one person may recommend the same homeowner.
Where this happens, the reward will normally be paid to the first eligible referral received by Stowhill Estates Berkshire.
If the homeowner was already known to us or already progressing through our sales process before your referral was received, the referral may not qualify.
Our decision regarding eligibility will be final.
6. When the £100 Reward Becomes Payable
The first reward becomes payable when:
- the homeowner has signed our agency agreement
- the instruction has become effective
- any applicable cooling-off period has expired or been validly waived
- any required payment on account has been received
- the instruction has not been cancelled or withdrawn immediately afterwards
Simply requesting a valuation, discussing a potential sale or asking for advice does not qualify as an instruction.
7. When the £200 Reward Becomes Payable
The second reward becomes payable when:
- the property sale legally completes
- Stowhill Estates Berkshire was the selling agent
- our agency fee has been received
No completion reward is payable if:
- the property is withdrawn from the market
- the sale falls through
- another estate agent completes the sale
- Stowhill Estates Berkshire is not entitled to receive its agreed fee
8. Payment
Referral rewards are normally paid by bank transfer.
Before making payment, we may ask you to confirm:
- your identity
- your bank details
- any information reasonably required to verify the referral
Rewards are normally paid within 14 days of the relevant milestone being reached.
9. Tax
Referral rewards may be taxable depending on your individual circumstances.
You are responsible for declaring any income or tax liability that may arise.
If you are referring someone as part of a business or profession, we may ask you to provide an invoice before payment is made.
We cannot provide tax advice.
10. Referrals That Will Not Qualify
The following referrals are not eligible:
- self-referrals
- referrals submitted without the homeowner’s knowledge
- referrals where permission has not been obtained to share contact details
- fraudulent or misleading referrals
- duplicate referrals where another eligible introduction has already been received
- referrals relating to an existing active Stowhill Estates Berkshire client or lead
11. Privacy
We use the information provided through the referral form solely for the purposes of administering this referral scheme, contacting the homeowner and processing any reward that becomes payable.
Further information can be found in our Privacy Policy.
12. Changes to the Scheme
Stowhill Estates Berkshire reserves the right to amend, suspend or withdraw this referral scheme at any time.
Any qualifying referral already registered before changes are made will continue to be assessed under the terms that applied when it was submitted.
13. General
Participation in this scheme does not create any partnership, employment or agency relationship with Stowhill Estates Berkshire.
Referral rewards are funded entirely by Stowhill Estates Berkshire and do not increase the fees paid by the homeowner.
By submitting a referral through our website, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms & Conditions.

If you have any questions about our referral scheme, we’d be delighted to help.
Our aim is simply to thank people who genuinely recommend us. If there’s ever any uncertainty about a referral, we’ll always try to resolve it fairly and reasonably.
