• About Star Property Partners

    Someone you trust in Bath.

    I’m Karen Richardson, founder of Star Property Partners.

    I help Hong Kong parents find a suitable home for their child while they study at the University of Bath — whether they’re looking to rent or considering buying.

    As a mum of two boys, I understand why the practical details matter. You want to picture where your child will live, understand their surroundings and feel comfortable with the decisions you’re making.

    When you’re arranging everything from overseas, having someone nearby to view a property, ask questions and keep you informed can make the process feel more manageable.

    That’s the personal support I’ve built Star Property Partners to provide.

  • Local knowledge. Personal support.

    Familiar with Bath and the surrounding area

    I’ve lived in the Bath area for more than 20 years. My husband Simon brings more than a decade of experience carrying out property inventories for Bath letting agents.

    That experience helps us look beyond attractive photographs and consider a home’s condition, practical details and suitability for everyday living.

    Honest observations to help you decide

    My role is to help you make an informed choice. I’ll share what I see, explain any concerns and highlight questions that need further investigation.

    If I don’t think a property suits your family’s needs, I’ll tell you.

    A familiar person to contact

    You’ll deal directly with me, with support agreed around your family’s circumstances.

    Whether you need local help assessing rental options or more extensive support with a purchase, you’ll know who to contact, what I’m helping with and what happens next.

  • Let’s start with your family’s plans

    You don’t need to have chosen a neighbourhood or decided between renting and buying before we speak.

    Tell me when your child is coming to Bath, what you’re considering and where you need help. We can talk through your priorities and see whether my support would be useful.
