Meet the Business: Martin Flashman & Co. – Celebrating 30 Years of Trusted Property Expertise in Walton-on-Thames

For three decades, Martin Flashman & Co. has been a familiar and trusted name in Walton-on-Thames. As they proudly celebrate their 30th anniversary, we caught up with founder Martin Flashman to learn more about the story behind the business and his enduring love for the town he’s called home for over 40 years.

A Local Expert With Deep Roots

Martin first began working in Walton in his youth and quickly developed a strong connection with the town.

“It made perfect sense to build my business here,” he says. “Walton has that perfect mix of charm, convenience, and community spirit. There’s a real pride in the area—and we’ve always wanted to reflect that in the way we do business.”

A Business Built on Trust and Tailored Service

Since launching in the mid-90s, Martin Flashman & Co. has become a go-to estate agency for residents looking for honest, professional property advice.

“We offer a personal, tailored service that really listens,” Martin explains. “After 30 years in the local market, we know this area inside and out—and our clients trust us to guide them with care and integrity.”

Unlike many larger agencies, Martin’s team takes pride in offering continuity and personal attention.

“Many of our staff have been with us for over 20 years. That experience and dedication means everything to our clients—and to me.”

Putting clients first and delivering an honest, tailored service—every time.

Life in Walton: A Place to Call Home

When he’s not helping clients find their perfect property, Martin enjoys soaking up the best of Walton life.

“There’s nothing better than a walk along the river to unwind, followed by a coffee in town. You always bump into someone you know—it’s that kind of place.”

He’s also a big fan of the variety Walton offers:

“Whether it’s a meal out or a stroll by the Thames, the town always has something to offer. A boat trip is a great way to see Walton from a new perspective—I recommend it to everyone visiting for the first time.”

Expanding the Vision

In recent years, Martin Flashman & Co. has expanded into neighbouring Weybridge, opening a second office to serve even more of the local community.

“It was a natural step,” Martin says. “We’re excited to bring our personal, client-first approach to a broader area while maintaining our focus on quality and trust.”

A Proud Anniversary, A Strong Team

As they celebrate 30 successful years in business, Martin is quick to credit his team:

“I couldn’t do it without them. Their local knowledge and commitment really are the backbone of everything we do.”

Here’s to 30 years of dedicated service—and many more to come.
