Welcome! I'm Sheridan Parsons, an estate agent specialising in canalside homes. I launched my little independent estate agency in 2021 and I moved into my own canalside home by Glascote Locks in 2022. I only keep a small portfolio of properties for sale so I can offer a really personal one to one service. I'm a bit quirky. (I am public about the fact that I am presumed to have Asperger’s, although I’ve never been officially diagnosed). Do say hello if you spot me on the towpath, or out and about in my little red Mini coupe!
For a long time now, I have been sharing canalside properties for sale on my 'Canalside Homes' Facebook group, which I launched in 2020. The group now has over 5000 members and many of them have successfully bought a property which they found on the group. Unfortunately, Facebook has quite a few limitations for serious house hunters. I can't order the posts in any way, they are difficult to search and edit, and there is no way to hide property which is no longer available.
And that’s why I created a 'Buy me a Coffee' page! Now you can receive regular lists of properties in a convenient, clear, and affordable way. It should be especially useful for those of you don't use Facebook, and those who are fed up with scrolling through the Facebook Group, especially if you're always clicking on great properties only to find that they're already sold.
There are three ways to use this page:
'Followers' on this platform only see a few public posts.
Members, who I call ‘Gongoozlers’, pay £5 monthly or £50 annually and receive regular property lists and exclusive posts by email.
Finally, if I've done something which you appreciate, you can thank me by buying me a one-off cup of coffee.
I send my Canalside Homes Lists out at least once a week between Wednesday and Saturday. Unfortunately, I can't run to a more accurate timetable as I don't have a team of canal elves to help me, and I have no way to automate anything. I just spend hours trawling Rightmove, so you don't have to!
The lists are in descending price order, with links to Rightmove, and the properties are all available on the market at the time of posting. I'm sorry but I cannot include images in the lists (other than my own photos) due to copyright.
For those of you who are interested in my business in general, or my backstory (I hate that word, but it's a useful expression), I occasionally include some behind the scenes and ‘sneak peek’ posts.
The really great thing about this platform is that you can join and leave any time - if you find a property or lose interest, you can quietly slink away. I'll miss you, but there's no point paying for information if you don't need it anymore.
Thank you so much for considering supporting me here!
