Are you looking for a canalside home?
How to get lists of canalside homes for sale.
You're in the right place!
As far as I know, I am the only person in the UK providing lists of canalside property in the UK, personally researched by a human. There is no better way to keep up-to-date with what's for sale along the canal.
My name is Sheridan, and over the years I have helped many people to buy their perfect canalside home. I thoroughly research the whole market and share everything I find with my subscribers.
You can stop at any time
Most people cancel their subscription because they have found a property. I love to hear from my readers that they are buying a house which they found through my website. Sometimes a change of circumstances means that someone stops looking. There is no tie and no catch.
How I post
My lists are released on my website and by email. My research is manual, not automated, so it can take me a long time - up to six hours a day when the market is moving fast!
What I include
My fall-back policy for including a property is always, "If this was in my budget, would I want to view it?"
- I include houses, bungalows, properties with moorings, land, development opportunities, park homes, and occasionally business premises.
- I prefer to include properties on the offside of the canal, ideally with mooring potential, but I do include quite a few towpath side properties - especially if they have outstanding canal views.
- Freeholds and leaseholds for sale by private treaty (normal sales), auction, or tender.
- Properties are almost invariably in England, Wales, or Scotland, but occasionally I share something further afield, just for fun!
What I don't include
As this is a personally researched and curated list, I may choose not to include some properties with poor views, serious drawbacks, or negative features. I also avoid:
- Narrowboats and houseboats (unless they are included with the property).
- Shared ownership properties.
- Apartments and flats.
- Holiday rentals.
Why do I do this?
I love helping other people to live their dream! I don't have any staff and I run my website entirely by myself. I also use this space to share my personal interests and hobbies, including genealogy. What you see is what you get!
I live and breathe property - as does my husband. We live beside the Coventry Canal, and we have previously owned a narrowboat - sometimes we get itchy feet and want to buy one again!
I am not an estate agent now, although I have been in the past. I still provide freelance 360 photography (I love doing 360s of narrowboats too!)
