We ’ re genuinely starting to develop a national footprint .”
FEATURE
Market leaders - Parker Barras say the property market is thriving .
In fact , having built the business and its reputation up over the years based on its record across the Teesside area , Parker Barras is increasingly moving into a national market .
“ It ’ s a natural progression from the fact that we operate on so many platforms and those platforms are reaching an audience nationally , not just locally or regionally .
“ We ’ ve recently sold a coffee shop in Scotland and an office in Kensington , London .
“ We ’ re currently looking to put a property in Cornwall on the market , so we ’ re genuinely starting to develop a national footprint and if we had an aim for the future , it would be to open an office or two around the country .
“ So for those who might be aware of our company but think that we are Teesside specialists , it ’ s important to get the message across that we will take a look at your property regardless of where in the country it is .”
For the moment , the Parker Barras team have plenty to keep their hands occupied as a confident Teesside business and commercial community quietly thrives and buzzes .
“ Judging by the instructions we ’ ve received in 2024 , there ’ s a lot of properties out there coming to market which offer opportunities for those both buying and selling ,” Jack observes .
“ I think we ’ re in a phase too , where business owners may be looking to retire after many years of building up their business .
“ We have a lot of instructions like that in 2024 where clients are coming to us for help and advice when it comes to making an exit from business .
“ It ’ s a great feeling to regularly be able to tell someone that we feel we can look to put up their properties or business for more than they might be expecting .
“ There ’ s a lot of positives from working in the commercial property and business sales sector but undoubtedly one of the best is to be able to make a successful sale in which both sides are happy and , in the case of the seller , helps fund the retirement they ’ ve planned or dreamed of .”
We ’ re genuinely starting to develop a national footprint .”
