Sheridan Parsons – Canalside Homes

Would you like to discover hundreds of canalside properties on the market right now? For just £5 a month, I’ll email you all the canalside homes I can find, typically over 350 properties in each list! What’s more, you’ll hear about them first – several days before I add them to my Canalside Homes Facebook group.

My brilliant Facebook group, Canalside Homes, is perfect if you’re just browsing. It’s a lovely ‘clean’ feed – I share all the canalside properties there, but it’s always a few days after my members’ lists are published.

I’ve had a long love affair with canals ever since I went to the Netherlands at the age of 6, and on a trip on the Regent’s Canal when I was 11 (that’s me in the photo!) Canals must be in my blood as my 4x great grandfather Richard Tedstall was a boatbuilder in Wolverhampton in the 1840s. Over the years I have owned three narrowboats and a canalside caravan. I now live by Glascote Locks in Tamworth and I’ve signed up for the CRT’s local Towpath Taskforce. I’ve written a popular Narrowboat Log Book (available on Amazon), and my husband Mike has published two canal themed murder mysteries.

but I’m a bit different from your average estate agent. I first joined the industry back in the 1980s, and I never lost my passion for property. I launched my little estate agency in 2021. I have no office and no staff, and I keep my portfolio small, so I can give my clients my undivided attention. I can frequently be found chatting to them on WhatsApp out of office hours. I enjoy genealogy and writing history books, so I like to research the history of the houses I sell.
