😍 Another Property SOLD (stc)!

Really pleased to have the terraced house at Peregrine Close at The Willows SOLD after just a few weeks of marketing!

The Willows has always been a hotspot for buyers and tenants... if you have a property to sell or let here, I would love the chance to speak to you about your home!

😍Individual Bungalow Style Park Home Property at Teigngrace Available To Let!

Been working hard getting this one ready for the last couple of days... will be ready for occupation very shortly!

It's an individual property, situated on a working farm in the Teigngrace area on the outskirts of Newton Abbot....

It has 2 Bedrooms and a decent amount of garden space on all sides, plus a large garage.

The home would be ideal for a mature couple who love a bit of gardening.... there's even space for a motorhome! With regret no pets as it is on a working farm with lots of cattle!

😍 ANOTHER HOME LET AGREED! 🤘

Thrilled to announce that the flat at Magdalene Road in Torquay has been LET AGREED after just a few days of marketing! It's been a bustling time for both sales and lettings with a strong demand across Torbay & Teignbridge. If you're considering selling or letting your home, I'd love to have a conversation with you!

🫶 That's another property in Newton Abbot UNDER OFFER...

😎 I put the stunning ground floor apartment at Forde Park on the market in May and it's been a busy few weeks there to say the least!

😀 🏡 Another home rented and occupied in the beautiful Milber area of Newton Abbot!

The demand for properties in Newton Abbot and Kingskerswell is huge right now. If you're considering renting out your home, I'm always available for a friendly chat to discuss your options!

😎 This week has been crazily busy.... sales and lettings viewings, inspections, typing up new listings and getting them live to the market, tenancy move-ins and.... another property SOLD (stc)!

😁 Really pleased to have this one at Avenue Road SOLD (stc) after only 10 days of marketing after switching to me from a high street estate agent.

🩵 I absolutely LOVE selling properties in my home village of Kingskerswell and it's very easy to pass on my passion to buyers and sellers in this area.

✔️Selling in Kingskerswell? I've got you covered, just give me a shout!

👨‍💼👩‍💼??? General Election... what does it mean to the housing market?

🏠 If you are looking to move, there's a bit to consider with the up & coming election on Thursday 4th July. The sales market has been relatively flat for the past 18 months since Truss' devastating mini-budget added further fuel to a volatile economy, hiking up interest rates, some as high as 8%!

✔ In all, I think that the general election announcement is big news for the sales market. In my 19 years experience as a property agent and having experienced 4 previous general elections during this time, it has always had an effect and changed the market, mainly for the better.

👨‍🏫 The election of a new government in many peoples eyes may bring fresh hope and a good feeling to home movers and this coupled with speculation of a dramatic interest rate drop this summer in my opinion will lead to a bounce in the market.

😎 I am actively encouraging sellers, both current and future to seriously consider getting their homes on the market now in preparation or perhaps consider changing estate agents if their home hasn't sold for some months. Fresh ideas will certainly have an impact if things have gone a little stale, and its best to start acting now as the majority of UK estate agents now require 28 days written notice to leave!

🏠 If you are thinking about either putting yours up For Sale or switching, please give me a shout, I would love to give you my honest, professional and experienced opinion about how the General Election could work in your favour this year!

❤️ That’s another one up For Sale! Being launched tonight ❤️

😁 Another NEW LISTING on the market today!

🏠 It's a 2 Bedroom Mid-Terrace house at the popular The Willows area of Torquay. It's positioned in a small cul-de-sac just off Peregrine Close and has a cracking garden, garage and driveway too.

✔ Being offered on the market CHAIN FREE for £240,000 - Freehold. EPC rating C.

🔥COMING SOON- Garfield Road, Paignton - £675pcm

A furnished one bedroom first floor flat in a level location in the town centre just off the seafront. Available from 13th June approx.

Radiator central heating, double glazing. Parking on street. EPC rating E.

Capping off a productive and busy week with another NEW LISTING in Torquay...

This one is part of the Stratheden Court development of retirement apartments, located at Market Street.

The main thing I like about this one is that it's ground floor and opens out onto its own patio garden which I think is perfect on a sunny Torquay morning!

It has a double bedroom, a modern kitchen and shower room and a nice sized living room.

This would be ideal for someone looking for a good condition home, with amenities on your doorstep and independent living with in-house facilities / entertainment if you wish.

On the market for £62,500, leasehold.

🏠A busy, busy day!!! Several new listings across Torbay & Teignbridge this week and a few more to follow, both For Sale and To Let ❤
