Looking to sell your home?

Well now is a great time to list with Thornley Groves we have more buyers registered who are able to proceed with a purchase than at any time in the last 7 months. Sales agreed over the last 6 weeks have been consistantly higher than the weekly average of the previous 6 months  – an increase in Sales agreed of over 50% has been seen at all of our offices.

Many vendors gave up on selling their home over the last 12 months and many more home sellers who would have traditionaly brought their property to the market in the run up to Easter this year did not do so because of the widely held belief that the housing market is dormant. As a result there is a SHORTAGE of available property and we have buyers waiting to find the home they’re looking for.

If you have been putting off your home move and want to know how much you could achieve for your property TODAY, we’ll tell you with a  FREE no obligation valuation all you have to do is click here http://www.thornleygroves.co.uk/valuation-request/ to arrange yours.

In this case we went to the other side of the Globe to Australia!

A recently completed sale on Brooklands Road in Sale just wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the persistence and determination of our Senior negotiator Carolyne Nicol and Operations Director Jason Watkin.

The sale was extremely protracted for a myriad of reasons and certain, shall we say professionals involved, were less than helpful when extra effort was required. However, numerous calls and emails made by our colleagues at eleven and twelve o’clock at night to Australia, followed by similar communication at six o’clock in the morning eventually led to a successful exchange of contracts and completion!

The market maybe the toughest we’ve seen but with the grit and determination of the Thornley Groves team we can and do make things happen!

Thornley Groves, the leading Manchester based estate agent, has introduced a fleet of bikes for employees to use when getting about the city centre for appointments.

The branded bicycles, brought in to help reduce the company’s carbon footprint as well as saving precious time and money in a challenging market, will be available for staff at three city centre branches from this week.

Managing Director, Michael Groves, said: “The idea behind the bikes is to encourage the fun, energetic and ‘can do’ culture we have in our company as well as saving a little time and money. In today’s market, all businesses are cutting back and I think this is a unique way of doing it whilst enhancing our service.”

Thornley Groves let 1,508 homes in 2008 and conducted over 15,000 viewings with prospective buyers and tenants throughout the year. Groves added: “We are open 7 days a week and until 8pm on weekdays so traffic and parking issues add considerably to the time it takes to conduct viewings. The ‘Property Cycles’, as we’ve called them, will improve our efficiency at the same time as reducing our impact on the environment”.

“In Manchester, the volume of property sales we’ve agreed is already 15% higher than the same period last year, reflecting vendors’ more realistic expectations and affordable mortgage rates. In addition, our rentals business is up 18% as city living continues to become more popular.”

The Thornley Groves Property Cycles have joined an existing fleet of branded low emission VW Polo’s so employees can choose their method of transport depending on the weather.

Thornley Groves Estate Agents has branches in Hale, Altrincham and Sale in addition to its three city centre offices in The Northern Quarter, Southern Gateway and Salford. All branches handle residential sales and lettings as well as managing private rented property for over 1000 landlords.

Dear Andrew,

We are recent tenants at Vicus Apartments in Manchester, having found this property through Thornley Groves.

We would like to pass on our appreciation of Amy Connelly, with whom we have recently dealt with. Amy has been very helpful throughout the process, maintaining regular contact when viewing properties, and subsequent to placing an offer. She is also very knowledgeable, capable of answering an array of queries in respect of the letting process, the property, and the city. Having only recently moved to Manchester, this proved invaluable.

Amy’s attitude to her clients is noteworthy. Given the motivation, Our experience of estate agents to date has been tainted by their transparent desire to ‘clinch’ a deal. Presumably, this is a motivation for all of your staff, however, we felt that the advice given by Amy was honest and sound, and also that the properties selected for our viewing were representative of our stated preferences.

We will have no hesitation in recommending Amy, and Thornley Groves to our colleagues, friends, and family. She is an asset to your business and we would be grateful if you would pass on our gratitude.

Kind regards

Ben and Zoe
