Scottfraser impact pledge

At scottfraser we like to do things differently to other estate agents, and building better links in the local community has always been important to us, especially as we have always taken great pride in being an Oxfordshire-only agency.

We are proud to announce that we are working in partnership with Sobell House and have committed to raise money over the next 4 years for them as our primary charity.

It’s a cause that’s close to our hearts, with one in three of us either needing or benefiting from end of life care. Sobell House has the aim that everyone in Oxfordshire has access to the care they need and that their families are supported.
