The founder
Steven James Newcombe
18 years in London property, through every market condition — booms, crashes and everything between.

SECOMBE estates
His own agency: MARLA-qualified, personally run, built on everything the corporate world does well — without the parts it doesn’t.
The network
A network, not a chain.
Behind SECOMBE sits a network of independent property professionals — partner agents, brokers and trusted trades. It’s how a personal agency offers what the big chains do, without becoming one.
