Veal

What do your clients commonly say you do differently?
Clients often comment that I’m approachable, balanced and easy to deal with throughout the sales process. I pride myself on remaining calm, level-headed and communicative, ensuring clients feel supported, informed and comfortable at every stage of their property journey.
What are some core values you live by?
One of the core principles I live by is putting myself in other people’s shoes. I regularly ask myself how I would want to be treated and communicated with if I were the buyer or seller, and I use that perspective to guide the level of service, care and professionalism I provide.
How has your career led you to the role you’re in today?
My background in the FMCG food industry taught me the importance of staying grounded while understanding the complexity of processes, decision-making and individual motivations. It gave me valuable insight into how people make important decisions and strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, manage expectations and guide clients through each stage of the process with confidence.

Tim sold my house in 2 weeks! - Tim’s market knowledge was second to none. I cannot recommend Tim highly enough. His communication during the sale period was outstanding. I would like to thank Tim & Buxton team for their A + help and support during and after the sale of our property.

Brett Simpson

Simply the best This is the second time we have used Tim to sell a property and will be our first choice if we choose to sell again. Tim’s communication skills are second to none. He would always call us after a open house or a private inspection within minutes of it ending making sure we were up to date with what’s happening. Tim was excellent at negotiating and very honest and strived to get us the best price from the best buyers. I would highly recommend Tim as he has made the sale of our homes so easy. Thanks Tim

Very mature and professional - Tim was very professional and worked hard to secure the property for me. He responded promptly and very keen to be helpful. He worked hard to negotiate a price and had the section 32 and contract ready very quickly. Thanks Tim

Tim's communication was a highlight. We were often messaging or calling him to ask his thoughts /opinion, or to get advice throughout the process of selling in a tricky market. Nothing ever seemed too much hassle for Tim. He was very patient with us and our questions! Thanks Tim!

Helen W

I first meet Tim when inspecting a property that I was interested in buying. I was struck by Tim's friendly manner & how easily we struck up a conversation. When the time came to sell my house I had no hesitation in contacting Tim due to our previous encounter. Throughout the initial consultation & when my property was on the market I have found Tim to be very professional, genuine & he has always kept me up to date with any progress. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone looking to sell.

Shaun C

We were buying, so only interested in one house, however, he was very good at arranging a time for a viewing and a second viewing. Tim was very friendly and chatty. He kept in contact quite well but occasionally took a couple of days to return messages, but always came through in the end. Overall, we had no problems or complaints.

Christine M

Tim consistently provided succinct assessments of the market, and strategic advice on positioning our property, in a complex and changing supply and and demand environment.

Sue C

Tim did a wonderful job in selling our home in quite a short period of time . Tim was very professional and caring during the whole procedure and gave very freely of his time , indeed far beyond what was expected by my wife and I .His expertise in presentation certainly paid dividendsresulting in the quick sale .We would have no hesitation in using Tim and Buxton Real Estate again , and will certainly refer any of our friends to Tim if they need to buy or sell property

Frequently Asked

Here to help

Your Buxton agent will cover the details - here’s a clear view of what an appraisal involves.

We approach appraisals as a practical conversations, grounded in real data, local insight and what matters most to you.

Speak to us

Your Buxton agent visits your property, considers its features, location, and market conditions, and combines that with recent sales data to give you a clear, realistic view of its value.

We analyse comparable properties, current market trends, and your home’s unique qualities. From there, we provide a considered range that reflects what buyers are likely to pay.

Not at all. An appraisal is simply insight - a way to understand your home’s value and your options before making any decisions.

Typically, we recommend an in-person appraisal so we can assess your property fully. In some cases, a virtual appraisal can provide a helpful initial guide.

Agents weigh factors differently - recent sales, market conditions, and property features. At Buxton, we combine local insight, data, and experience to provide a balanced, realistic appraisal you can trust.
