Shropshire property experts report strong start to 2011
A local firm of leading property specialists is reporting a strong start to 2011 and predicting the housing market will continue to recover over the coming year.
Shropshire-based Nock Deighton has handled approximately £27.4 million worth of deals during the first quarter of the year, figures the company suggests display a growing confidence amongst both buyers and sellers across the county.
With sales offices in Telford, Bridgnorth, Ludlow and Ironbridge, first quarter agreed sales across the firm totalled £14.5 million, with a further £12.9 million in completions also taking place.
Michael Evans, Managing Director for Nock Deighton, commented: “These excellent first quarter sales figures follow-on from similarly strong results posted at the end of last year, where the anticipated lull in demand in the run-up to Christmas never materialised, as we actually recorded some of our busiest months of the year.
“Time and time again Shropshire bucks national property trends, and our figures prove that parts of the region remain some of the UK’s most sought-after areas with buyers, not just locally but from further afield, such as London and the Home Counties.”
Formed in 1831, Nock Deighton is one of the Midlands’ most well-established and respected firms of estate agents, lettings agents, chartered surveyors, block management agents, and auctioneers.
