Flint Homes first year: thank you!

Well,, as we draw to a close on the working year for 2025, Bonnie & I can hardly believe that our first year in business – trading as Flint Homes – is over!

And what a year it has been!

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for all your interest, support, enthusiasm, kindness, opportunity & most of all the faith our clients have shown in us to get the job done for them.

We have loved every minute.

We have helped multiple people get settled in their amazing new homes here in Norfolk – all re-locating from different parts of the UK, to tap into the wonderful, rich & rewarding lifestyle this beautiful part of the world we get to call home offers.

We have worked with some of the UK’s leading estate agents, the very best local agents, leading property developers, top builders, smart architects, country estates & private home owners: all of whom have been an absolute pleasure to deal with – in a very challenging market.

The Norfolk property industry has welcomed us with open arms as a valued member of its community – which means the world to us.

Thank you.

We could not do this job without your support. And we hope the added value we bring to your business, as we serve our clients, continues to grow in 2026 & beyond.

We are so proud to have been featured in the UK’s top selling weekly magazine – Country Life – in their magazine (see above) & get featured in their Little Black Book, of top buying agency contacts.

And we have been featured, multiple times (proudly as “the Norfolk Kirstie & Phil”), in Muddy Stilettos Norfolk – with a profile piece on our set up, a feature on why using a buying agent is a no brainer & on our new ‘Cherish or Change’ service for home owners stuck in a property rut. Thanks Clare.

We were also super proud to be the 2025 Muddy Awards sponsors – championing local business here in Norfolk, as passionate & proud small Indi biz operators ourselves. Being part of this rich, vibrant community means so very much to us.

The year has brought nothing but positivity for the Flint Homes brand – which has grown from strength to strength & continues to throw up amazing new opportunities, on a weekly basis.

One big highlight has been the ability to blend our existing marketing agency business, Royle Media, with Flint Homes & offer a range of amazing things to not just our clients – with bespoke films for elite buyers who want to see properties of interest in a new way, from afar when they can’t view them in oerson, like this one in Burnham Market, but also through interesting collabs with leading national & local estate agents, highlighting properties of interest.

The £2.5m Garden House in Holt, for Jackson-Stops was a real highlight.

As was Leo, for The Modern House – a film that has over 125,000 views & rising. It was one of the most popular films they did all year!

Throughout this first year we have made so many great friends along the way – led by our wonderful clients, who have left us some outstanding testimonials, which you can find by Googling us. Such fine people.

And we have had some truly magical Norfolk moments – not least re-learning to sail, in the time-bending, ethereal, timeless & beyond stunning creeks of the North coast with Zoe of Sail North Norfolk & having an incredible culinary/vino experience with top sommelier Bert Blaize of North Norfolk Cellars in Wells, in the company of Henry & his rugged, raw & recommended Coastal Exploration Company.

Thank you to everyone we have got to know in the course of doing this magnificent new business. We are so grateful for your time, support & friendship.

2026 looks set to be a Stella year – interest rate cuts are on the horizon, the horror of the budget is behind us, the market has price corrected, it remains a buyer’s market & opportunity knocks for those looking to relocate to this epic corner of England.

My late father, John Royle, owned a chain of estate agencies in the North West in the 1980s & always swore by January being a great time to crack on. I whole-heartedly agree.

We are pumped, with better, stronger, wider contacts than ever before, more experience & a richer understanding of what our clients want & need. And some magnificent plans ahead to improve & get better still.

Thank you to all our followers on Instagram, we really are so very grateful for every like, comment, share, re-post & DM.

Thank you again to all the superb agents & property peeps who helped us match our clients to their dream homes.

Thank you to my friends & family for their passionate support.

Thank you to Bonnie, for being my better half & all she does for Flint Homes, Royle Media, our family & me. An angel.

And to my incredible, beautiful daughter, Grace, you are my motivation 24:7:365. My world.

But most of all, thank you to our Flint Homes’ clients for the hard earned money you have spent on us & the faith you have showed in our abilities – the combination of which has yielded some extraordinary results. You will always be our focus, motivation & dedication.

Here’s to a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year & a prosperous 2026.

It all starts with a DM.
