Homes Aren't Found. They're Chosen.
Turpomp isn't about listings. We're about listening — to what matters to you, where you want to be, and how you actually live.
We don't sell dreams. We help you make grounded decisions about real homes, in real streets, with all the real questions on the table. Whether it's your next move or your first one, our job is to ask better questions and walk beside you while you answer them.
Let's Talk About Your Next Place
What You Can Expect From Us
Straight answers, not rehearsed scripts.
If you ask a question, you'll get a real answer — not a vague promise or memorised pitch. If we don't know, we'll say so. And then we'll go find out.
Local focus, no generalisations.
We look at specific streets, not just postcodes. We walk the areas, track shifts in neighbourhood character, and stay alert to the small details others overlook.
Support that doesn't end at the viewing.
We stay with you through the back-and-forth, the paperwork, the second-guessing. We're still answering calls after the keys are in your hand.
Not a Checklist, a Conversation
We don't start with properties. We start with questions.
"What feels like home to you?" "What don't you want to compromise on?" Before we show you a single postcode, we spend time mapping out what actually matters to you. Because when that's clear, the rest follows.
No guessing, no fluff. Just clear thinking.
We believe you shouldn't need to decode estate speak or feel like you're being talked into something. You'll hear honest thoughts, grounded perspectives, and sometimes even: "This one's not for you — and here's why."
Your pace, your terms.
We won't rush you, chase you, or push. We give you space to consider, tools to compare, and time to decide. We're here when you're ready — not before.
What We Can Help With
New Builds That Don't Feel Cold
We work closely with a handful of new developments that manage to feel like neighbourhoods, not just stacked boxes. Think walkable layouts, real sound insulation, and public spaces that aren't afterthoughts. We visit them ourselves. We ask uncomfortable questions. And we only recommend the ones we'd live in too — or confidently send a friend to. If you're unsure how to spot quality in a new build, we'll show you what to look for, and what's usually missing.
Period Homes With Modern Sense
You're not the only one tired of listings that say "Victorian charm" but show cracked plaster and freezing bedrooms. We work with sellers and projects that respect the old bones while updating what matters — wiring, windows, water pressure. We'll guide you through the fine print (freeholds, conservation zones, listed status) and help you weigh up the charm vs. the costs. You'll know exactly what kind of life you're stepping into.
Conversions That Were Done Properly
Not every loft, warehouse, or garden flat is created equal. We help you spot which conversions were genuinely well planned — and which ones are a headache in disguise. From layout flow to natural light, from council sign-offs to long-term maintenance — we dive deeper than the estate agent's brochure. If you're drawn to something a bit different, we'll help you get it — without surprises later.
Resale Homes With Hidden Potential
Not all value lives in polished surfaces. Sometimes the most promising homes are the overlooked ones — good bones, great location, and a seller who just didn't stage it well. We help you read past the clutter, the odd paint colours, the low-effort photos. Some of our favourite finds started off as properties most people scrolled past. We'll help you see what they could become — and what it would take.
Where Things Stand Now
Over the past 12 months, the housing market in England has shifted from reactive to cautious. Following a period of rapid price growth during and after the pandemic, demand has cooled — not collapsed — but recalibrated. Mortgage rates have remained higher than many anticipated, and that's pushed buyers to become more selective, slower to commit, and far more focused on long-term suitability rather than short-term appeal. Areas that previously moved in hours now sit for weeks; price reductions are no longer the exception. Sellers are having to rethink both timing and presentation. Meanwhile, first-time buyers are navigating a tighter lending environment — and often facing pressure to compromise on location or size.
At the same time, the supply side hasn't surged to meet this new landscape. Many homeowners are choosing to stay put, waiting out interest rate volatility, which keeps genuine move-in-ready options limited — especially outside major urban centres. What's growing, however, is demand for properties that require light to moderate updating: buyers are increasingly willing to take on cosmetic work if it means better location or layout. Leasehold reform discussions and energy efficiency standards have also begun influencing buying behaviour, particularly in flats and older stock. In short, the market is no longer fast or forgiving — but it is workable, if you know how to read its tempo.
Why Duplexes Often Make More Sense Than Flats
More space without going vertical.
Duplexes often offer a clearer separation between living and sleeping zones — something most flats can't replicate. That added floor gives you flexibility: a real home office, not a desk in the corner; a spare room that doesn't double as storage.
Fewer neighbours, more control.
With a duplex, you're typically sharing less — fewer walls, fewer hallways, fewer decisions dictated by building management. That often means more peace, more privacy, and fewer surprises when it comes to service charges or communal upkeep.
It feels like a house — and often behaves like one.
Many duplexes come with direct access to the street, private entrances, or even a small outdoor space. They're still compact, yes — but they offer a sense of independence that traditional flats rarely do.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have a mortgage agreement in place before speaking with you?
No. We can start the conversation at any stage — including if you're just exploring whether buying is even realistic for you right now. If needed, we'll connect you with trusted brokers, but there's no pressure.
Can you help if I'm not sure which area I want to live in?
Yes — that's often where we start. We'll help narrow it down based on your lifestyle, commute, budget range, and daily habits. We focus on specifics, not just popularity.
Do you handle property viewings?
We don't replace estate agents, but we do help prepare you for viewings and debrief with you after. If needed, we can join you — especially for second visits — to help spot things you might miss.
Can you advise on leasehold issues?
Absolutely. Lease length, service charges, ground rent clauses — we'll help you understand what's standard, what's risky, and when it's worth pushing back or walking away.
How long does the whole process usually take?
It varies. Some people work with us for a few weeks before making a decision; others take several months. Our pace matches yours — not the market's.
Do you only work with buyers?
Mostly, yes. But if you're planning to sell and want a realistic, honest read on what needs improving before listing — we do that too, quietly and without obligation.
The Way Forward
Not everyone comes to us with a plan. Some just have a feeling that something needs to change — a flat that's too loud, a commute that's become a drain, a space that no longer fits. That's more than enough to start.
We begin with a short conversation. No paperwork. No commitment. Just a chance to lay things out, ask questions you might not have thought of, and see if we're the right fit to walk this with you.
You won't be handed over to someone junior, or dropped into a mailing list. You'll speak to a real person, who listens before they speak — and keeps listening long after.
