Welcome

• Clear communication at every stage
• Proactive preparation through our SmartMove framework
• Transparency and upfront detail - now becoming the national standard
• Fewer delays, with documents ready upfront
• Sales handled with care, not crossed wires
• Time for people, not just property
   

We work with a focused number of clients at any one time, so every home and every move gets the attention it deserves - no chasing, no crossed wires.

We’re a newer name locally, but our approach is rooted in experience - thoughtful service, calm planning, and steady communication. We know trust is earned, so our focus is on proving it one move at a time.

We focus on what matters - straightforward path, fewer surprises, and the right support at the right time.

Every move we handle follows our SmartMove framework - a structured but flexible way of keeping preparation, communication, and fairness at the centre. It’s not complicated, just our way of doing things better.

We cover the essentials upfront in good faith, subject to our terms of business.

The detail flexes with your circumstances, but the outcome is always the same: fewer surprises, clearer steps, and calmer moves.

It’s the same structured, transparent process the Government is now building into national standards - one we’ve been refining from day one.

SmartMove? Solicitors? Offers? We’ve answered the questions people ask most.

House of Hilbre is a nod to Hilbre Island - a calm, grounding place off the Wirral coast. We try to bring that same sense of perspective to every move.

Meet the Founder

After years in property, people development, and leadership, I started House of Hilbre to offer something more personal: clear support, local insight, and time for clients. We may be at the start of our journey as House of Hilbre, but we’re determined to earn our place through thoughtful service and steady results.

I’ve lived in South Wirral for over 20 years and hold a degree in the Built Environment. As a Fellow of the CIPD, I believe good communication changes outcomes - and that shapes everything we do.

House of Hilbre isn’t just about moving people, but supporting the community we live in too. That’s why every sale contributes to our Community Fund, supporting local schools with projects they choose themselves.
