20-21
ow were your holidays? As we
gear up for the new term, we
have some fascinating features
celebrating the diversity of
our borough, the entrepreneurship of
our residents and a sense of optimism,
despite recent political turmoil.
Meet the Franco-Japanese couple
whose baking is the talk of King Street,
and the team behind the hottest tacos
this side of Mexico City.
The Euros, and Team GB’s goldrush
in the Olympics have provided a
welcome sporting distraction to the
continuing fallout from the referendum
result... but what has been the effect on
the property market?
Business goes from strength
to strength and we have
expanded our team
Today’s climate means it is a more
challenging time for buyers, sellers
and even estate agents, but despite this
we have had some particularly strong
weeks in our sales team. So much so, in
fact, that we have expanded our team
with a new member of staff.
Overall, business goes from strength
to strength and our continued success
is working with the very best properties
and clients in the local area.
Having worked in the area for 20
years, and working within a team of 11
professionals, we are ideally positioned
to give the best local advice and achieve
best price and terms for our clients.
Our rentals and property
management department is also
expanding, and while sales may have
cooled and prices softened over the
summer, the lettings team is moving
into top gear as we approach the peak
season for rentals.
So, if you are a landlord with a
property to let, or a vendor with a
property to sell, we’re ready to help.
