Slades Estate Agents in Southbourne was opened in 2000 by partner Jason Hallowes and was quickly established as the area’s market-leading office, now consistently selling more homes than any other agent within Southbourne and the surrounding areas.
Southbourne is a suburb of Bournemouth, a popular beachside holiday destination which in recent times has become a hub for high tec and service based industries with a large and thriving university.
Set on Bournemouth’s cliff tops Southbourne offers easy access to the area’s award-winning golden sandy bathing beaches and has become an increasingly popular location both with holiday home owners and permanent residents alike. There is a great community spirit and a diverse demographic, the area offering something for everybody, including well regarded schools, stunning scenery, wide open spaces and a thriving high street at Southbourne Grove.
Affectionately named “The Grove” by locals the high street offers good transport links to Bournemouth and Christchurch town centres and has an abundance of coffee shops, cafes, bars, shopping facilities and independent boutique shops. Having boomed in recent years and still growing the high street has really put Southbourne on the map, including Kirstie and Phil’s, with Southbourne having now featured twice in the popular TV programme Location, Location, Location.
I have been a director of Slades since 1997, initially opening the Bransgore office, then Southbourne office in 2000 & the Lettings office in 2007. I am a member of the National Association of Estate Agents and the Association of Residential Letting Agents
In am a keen golfer, whenever time allows. At the weekends you might find me in the country walking our black Lab or at the gym trying to keep fit..
With over 25 years of experience in estate agency, I’ve been helping people move since leaving school. My career has taken me through every part of the business, giving me a deep understanding of the property market and a real passion for providing great service. I became a director in 2024, and I’m proud to lead a team that shares my commitment to integrity, hard work, and results.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, getting out on the golf course, and playing football whenever I can.
I have been based in the Southbourne office since 2002, becoming a director in 2024. Outside of work I enjoy sports, especially football and am a keen supporter of AFC Bournemouth. I have a passion for travelling, food and spending time with friends and family. I am dedicated to my work and get great joy from helping both buyers and sellers turn their home-moving dreams into a reality.
I began my career in estate agency straight after leaving school and joined Slades Estate Agents in 2020. Since then, I’ve gained hands-on experience helping clients through every stage of their property journey. Recently purchasing my first home, I now have first-hand insight into just how exciting – and sometimes stressful – moving can be, which helps me better support my clients.
Outside of work, I enjoy socialising, spending time with my girlfriend, and making the most of my new home.
The newest member of the team ( and youngest…) I joined in the summer of 2025, with my primary role being organising and conducting viewings. I am very much a people person and love the social interaction with clients. Outside of work I enjoy socialising, playing football, and having only just turned 18, spending time in the pub!
I joined Slades in 2001, having worked in agency prior. In my spare time I enjoy going on Holiday, music concerts and spending time with my grandsons. I am affectionally known to the team as ‘JP’
