What we do

Rowallan Buying Agents

Rowallan is a founder-led, independent buying agency representing a small number of private clients at any one time. Our team brings experienced, personal attention to residential, rental and investment searches, while specialist Nick Coughlan leads our commercial property work. Founder Jason Corbett has worked in property since 1988.

Unlike selling agents, we act exclusively for buyers. Alongside homes already on the open market, we seek genuinely off-market opportunities through relationships with agents and owners built over decades. Whatever the source, we investigate whether a property is right for you, assess its value and negotiate on your behalf.

Our principal search areas are Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Kent and South West London. Jason has also worked in Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Scotland, where he is from. He knows properties in these areas and is happy to undertake a search there when he knows he can successfully complete a brief.

A move is rarely just a property decision. It may mean leaving a home you have known for years, changing schools or commuting patterns, making room for a growing family, or asking one person to take a bigger leap than another. We take time to understand what the move needs to achieve and what may be making it difficult, so the homes we recommend work in real life, not merely on paper.

The Rowallan Heritage

The Barony of Rowallan – Rowallan is in the County of Ayrshire, Scotland and is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

The Rowallan name reflects Jason Corbett’s family heritage in the British peerage and a connection with property spanning three generations.

That background brings personal relationships alongside Jason’s professional network. He first worked in estate agencies in 1988 during school and university holidays, then made property his full-time career in 1995. Together, these connections can open conversations with owners and trusted advisers that might otherwise never take place, particularly where a sale is being considered privately.

For clients, the value lies in combining that access with experienced judgement, discretion and the care taken to secure the right home.

What our clients are saying…

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Jason about 2 years ago, and since our first meeting, I was confident that Jason would be able to manage all of my property transactions and needs.

In the ever-changing environment of the property sector, I had been searching for an independent property agent, who not only demonstrated very high standards of professional practice and commitment but someone who also provided support, advice, direction and care.

I was, therefore, extremely fortunate to be introduced to Jason and even more fortunate when Jason agreed to act on my behalf.

Having Jason in the driving seat completely changed my perspective on buying and selling property. The care, attention to detail, support, guidance, friendship and honesty that Jason demonstrates in each and every conversation and action is second to none.

Please don’t change !!!

We have thought about how to write this without sounding like we were just waxing lyrical. What would we want to hear, what should we say, then we realised that all we needed to say is – just speak to Jason and you will understand, immediately, how much you need him.

He is so much more than an agent – a property expert, a friendly coach, a calming force and a problem solver behind the scenes. Jason feels like a trusted friend from the moment you meet him. He calmly and expertly guides one through what would normally be a rather stressful experience, but makes it fun, exciting, reassuring and he does it all with ease, kindness, consideration, and the imparting of immense knowledge.

Having bought and sold a number of properties of all types over the years, we had tired of those we came across, and were signed by more than one of the other professionals in the industry. Jason is just no comparison. He is head and shoulders above anyone else we have encountered, and we trust him – whole heartedly, and would (and will) again, in a heartbeat and without a single doubt.

Jason, you guide us kindly and expertly, to navigate, understand, progress and complete on a process full of pitfalls and worries, and you simply take all the stress away. Your warmth and constancy, your network and experience, your insight and advice. You are unique, and you are without doubt the best at what you do, and we couldn’t have made it to this wonderful place without you. Having worked with you, we would never use anyone else, and we will always be forever grateful to you. For how you have helped us, for what you do so uniquely and professionally, and for the funny, kind, approachable, trustworthy, incredible soul (and expert) that you are. Thank you.

James & Nicola Durcan

In my position of proprietor of dw Interior Projects (preparing homes for sales and creating one’s new home) I have known and worked with Jason for a number of years. I have always found him incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in his field of property coupled with being approachable and professional. He’s been very successful in sourcing property for clients and finding buyers alike and clients warm to him at an early stage in the business relationship.

Nick has been a terrific source of advice and help on my moving journey. His wise counsel and calm approach are exactly what you need when buying property. Nick is a Zen meditation teacher too – it’s a winning combination. You can trust him implicitly.

I can honestly say that without Jason, I might not have made it through our move! We had some complicated scenarios and needs, and he was able to help us navigate them not only smoothly, but with a smile.

His ability to read a person’s needs and desires is impeccable, even when they may not even know how to express them themselves! When problems arise, his extensive experience and calm and confident demeanour means that the client can remain so as well. Thank you, Jason, for everything!!

Danielle Giornandi

I had the pleasure of working with Jason for the purchase of a family home. The care with which Jason approached his work was admirable and sincerely appreciated. He was considerate, measured, and trustworthy, and this made finding and securing the right property an easy and smooth process. Overall, Jason is also a delight to work with — warm, thoughtful, and refreshingly honest, he inspired calm and confidence at every stage.

I would recommend Jason without hesitation, and look forward to working with him again soon.

We engaged the services of Jason at Rowallan, largely because we were returning from the west coast of the USA to England and knew that it was going to be hard to find the right house easily.

I am by nature a cynical Englishman, that has bought a number of houses and I did worry that it was something I just didn’t need

That said, I would like to put on record that I will likely use Jason every time I buy a house in the future …… he just removed all of the normal frustrations , he exposed us to properties we would never have seen and ultimately made it easy . His knowledge and presence in the Uk is impressive and he has a network of some of the best people … from legal to design to execution and everything in between

We told Jason in late January that we were coming back to the uk in June and wanted a property to move into ……. Ambitious I know ; yet thanks to rowallan, today, the 20th of May we have completed on an amazing property in our ideal location

I am now a convert ….. Rowallan just make it so much easier
