Buying a house in Corby: Where to find award-winning service, and the home of your dreams

With a series of industry gongs, Stuart Charles puts its clients in the top spot. Picture – supplied

It’s easy to see why house-buyers love Corby – with a vibrant town centre, beautiful countryside, a thriving community and excellent commuting links to London, it’s the affordable option for every stage in life’s journey.

And what makes a move that little bit easier is award-winning estate agency firm, Stuart Charles. The firm opened in Northants just over three years ago, and has gone from strength to strength with two more offices opening soon in neighbouring towns.

The Corby office has won the gold certificate award for both sales and lettings two years running from the British Property Awards, and it has just scooped the gold spot again for the whole of the East Midlands in the 2023 awards.

The family-run firm has also grown to meet demand from buyers and sellers. Still heading up the firm is Stuart Short, who has 20 years’ experience in the business. But, as he proudly says, it’s his team of local staff which makes the difference.

“Everyone works incredibly hard and puts their all into making people’s home moves a happy, confident experience.”

Part of that award-winning service is the access clients have to Stuart and the team. They are always available on the phone, email, Facebook, Whatsapp or in their branch in Corby itself, and there’s no query too small or problem too big for them to help with. Viewings and appraisals can happen seven days a week, fitting round the client’s busy schedule.

Stuart added: “The market is really buoyant in and around Corby at the moment, and it’s understandable why. The town centre itself is attractive and busy, with a good range of schools and shops. And for those relocating, or whose work is in the city, you can travel by train from St Pancras in just over an hour.

“Growing families, young professionals and those looking to downsize can have a lovely life in Corby, with access to the city just a short commute away. That’s one of the reasons I set up my own business here – I love it, and can totally understand why others do too.”
