Services
When you choose us to sell your property, our local knowledge enables us to assess its value accurately and highlight what makes both the home and its area appealing. We arrange professional marketing materials before launch and maximise exposure across leading platforms and our wider network. From viewing feedback and offers to legal progress and key handover, we remain involved. 
Our experienced lettings team provides comprehensive support throughout the rental process. We begin with a free valuation to establish the appropriate rental value, then showcase and market the property to prospective tenants. Once a tenancy is agreed, we manage referencing, deposits, paperwork and legal requirements, followed by the final arrangements for moving in.

I started my career as an Estate Agent in 2011 with Countrywide as a Trainee Negotiator and quickly progressed within the company. In my final few years with the company, I was the Branch Manager of a very successful branch that was one of only two offices in the region making profit in both sales and lettings.

I just bought my very first house with Owen, he answered every email and every phone call with patience and kindness. Exceptional service and I would suggest his service to everyone. Thanks Owen!!! Edit- I also want to add that I have contacted Owen after the sale to ask for help on a few items and still get a fantastic service! Would Definitely recommend Owen!

Athertons sold our property recently.
We sold extremely quickly and the whole process went so smoothly.
Moving house is extremely stressful but both Owen and Sam were there every step of the way with updates and answered any questions we had.
We can't recommend Athertons enough as they were professional, polite and knowledgeable.

Owen from Athertons assisted with our house purchase, from the very beginning, Owen and the team was incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. After 15 months of looking and starting processes and having them fall through, it was through Owen and his team that we finally got our keys yesterday and the whole process took 7 weeks!!
They were always responsive, friendly, and willing to help with any questions or updates, which made a very big difference during what can sometimes be a stressful experience. Their communication was excellent, and they kept everything moving smoothly between all parties involved.
It was clear that they genuinely cared about making the process as straightforward and efficient as possible, and their dedication and professionalism really stood out.
Im very grateful for all the support and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. An excellent experience and very well deserving of a 5-star review.
Thank you Owen and team Athertons!

I cannot fault Owen and his team, they were professional, sensitive as the transaction was an emotional one for our family, gave good advice - their local market knowledge was faultless, trustworthy, diligent and above all just genuinely nice humans to deal with. We had every faith in them and cannot fault their service, I would highly recommend them and wish them every success

Professional, friendly and helpful are just a few words I would use to describe Athertons. Sam and Owen have made our experience, that I anticipated to be very stressful, anything but stressful. After dealing with many estate agents, I would not recommend anyone other than Athertons - their service is second to none. Thank you so much!

Amazing service from the company.
We used Athertons Estate during the process of buying our first house.
Owen, who take care of our case was outstanding. During whole process he kept us informed, constantly communicated with our solicitors as well as sellers solicitors and ensured that the whole process which looked quite stressful at the beginning went quick and smooth.
I want to use the opportunity to once again say THANK YOU to Owen, for such a professional approach and help he provided.

I had an excellent experience with Athertons. The service was fast, efficient, and professional from start to finish. I was kept well-informed at every stage of the process, and everything was handled with care and attention to detail. It made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. I would highly recommend Athertons to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive estate agent.
Thank you for all your help!

I have now both purchased and sold the same property through Athertons - and there is a reason for that - truly great service. I received the full asking price within three days of placing my home on the market, courtesy of Owen Fowler's expertise, and I was kept informed of progress throughout what became quite a lengthy process. I am most grateful for the service and attention I received and and I recommend Athertons in general and Owen in particular without reservation.

We selected Athertons as a local agent and having reviewed other agents they came out highly rated and very competitive on fees. From the point of calling things moved quickly with an initial consultation on the approach that would best suit our property and circumstances. The photographs and presentation were very professional and appeared quickly on Rightmove.
After a few hours we had two viewings and sold the same day having achieved a higher that anticipated offer so extremely happy with the outcome.
The team at Athertons also went above and beyond with vetting, co-ordination up the chain, and answering any questions we had as they cropped up. Recommended and would not hesitate to use again!

I have dealt with Sam & Nikita on multiple occasions, buying a property through them, selling a property through them and shortly, I am intending on renting out a property through them. I have found them to be professional and knowledgeable, keeping me fully updated throughout the process and answering questions whenever I have had them. They're a great team and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, or recommend them to people looking for a good, honest estate agent in the Bournemouth area.

I cannot express how happy and thankful I am with Sam and Nikita helping my mum sell her property she had lived in for the last 25 years.
Obviously from my mum living in her family home for such a long time, to anyone, of course it would be an emotional rollercoaster however, the experience from Athertons had made it the best possible journey for her.
For anyone who is selling due to personal or emotional circumstances then I highly recommend the best service from Athertons. My mum has now settled down in her nice new home but would not be possible without Sam and Nikita.

After recently selling my first house with the help of Sam and his team at Athertons, I honestly could not recommend them enough!
Very professional service from start to finish, ensuring I was kept informed at every step of the transaction. Sam also went above and beyond with answering any queries and providing guidance relating to my purchase through a different agent.
Would not hesitate to recommend Athertons to anyone, and would certainly use their services again in the future!
Thanks again Sam!
