Hi, I'm Sam
“In 2004, I founded www.home-truths.co.uk - a website dedicated to helping homeowners sell more effectively.
Since then, I’ve helped over 1000 people to move on with their lives, by selling at the price they want. From prime central London townhouses, to Welsh cottages, York apartments, coastal retreats and Surrey mansions. By working in diverse markets and geographical areas, I’ve perfected a marketing formula that has been tested over and over - one that is much more successful than a standard estate agent marketing strategy.
I’m proud to have been featured in the national press, including the Sunday Times, Bricks and Mortar, The Telegraph and House Beautiful. I’ve also been on BBC1’s Homes Under the Hammer, and Radio 4’s You and Yours.
I’m also an expert home mover! Currently living in my 47th home, in Bowness-on-Windermere, with my Border collie Georgie.”

Hi, I'm Phil
“I am a Lakes man born and bred. Having spent time in Accountancy and Financial Planning I came to realise that I didn’t want my days to be spent in front of a screen and instead sought out more of a customer-facing role. Having spent some years with a national energy company and developing properties, I have seen some beautiful Lake District homes. This piqued my interest in the property market, and after some lengthy discussions with Sam, we began working together along side various independent agents nationwide. During this time, we felt the Lake District homes needed better marketing, so we launched AshdownJones.
My competitive nature means I am determined to get to a win-win for you, the seller, as well as us at AshdownJones.
At home, I have a beautiful wife called Molly, a future Carlisle Utd player called Noah and a gorgeous little girl called Rosie.”

Hi, I'm Hayley
“I have recently relocated to the Lake District from Cornwall where I spent over 8 years working within the Admissions department of a top 10 University. I was anxious about moving my career in a different direction and moving to a new location, but from the moment I attended my interview I knew that Firewave was the company I wanted to work for. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and I now really enjoy coming to work and the new challenges that working in a new sector brings.”
