Those familiar with the city of Manchester and its surrounding suburbs will know that the area has done much to achieve its growing status as the “Capital of the North” in recent years. Thornley Groves – Manchester’s leading Estate Agents – are well aware of the city’s increasing popularity and recently opened up a brand new state of the art office in the heart of the city centre to cope with this growing demand.

Across the board we are seeing increased activity in the Manchester property market, which is showing signs of a return to liquidity after a difficult period experienced by the entire U.K. property market following the onset of the world recession in late 2007.

Thornley Groves maintains a large database of registered purchasers and this pool of applicants has increased by 13 percent during the past year alone. The number of sales stock available is also up 25 percent on this time last year, while perhaps most significantly of all, the number of sales stock under offer with Thornley Groves has increased 33 percent during the same period. In short, we are seeing huge increases in Manchester property market activity across the board – and this is of course fantastic news for home-sellers and purchasers alike!

Michael Groves, Managing Director of Thornley Groves Estate Agents in Manchester, said “All the evidence we are seeing points to a strong return to activity in the Manchester property market. While it is fair to say that one swallow does not a summer make, the combination of quantitative growth and qualitative performance indicators that we are seeing such as swift sales, seller-confidence, and increased property search activity, are positive signs. Home-sellers should certainly be more confident now of achieving sales in what is looking to be an increasingly buoyant market once again.”

In addition to growth in registered purchasers, sales stock available and stock under offer over the previous year, we have also seen a sharp increase in market interest in recent months, and our Open House events are attracting not only high attendance levels but also numerous offers being made for showcased properties on the day of these events.

All of this makes for an extremely positive and pro-active property market here in Manchester and the surrounding suburbs of Sale, Hale and Altrincham, and Thornley Groves is proud to be playing our part in helping find the right homes for you!

Thornley Groves are  just days away from opening our ground breaking new office in Central Manchester and have already had vendors and landlords clambering to be amongst the first to take advantage of our brand new marketing initiative to make their property stand out from the crowd.

 “What exactly is it?” you ask, that will enable us to do things differently……..it’s a video wall over 3 meters tall and a meter wide that will play day and night to the thousands of passersby on John Dalton Street, one of Manchester City Centres busiest thoroughfares featuring the superb developments that exist in and around the city centre.

 Flat screen marketing for property has been around a long time; agents all over the world have used plasma screens to showcase their stock for some years now but we believe TGTV is entirely different and really lends itself to the type of residential property available to buy or rent in Manchester city centre.

 In the suburbs there are streets and streets of houses – Terraced, Semis, Detached, old and new, they’re all different and you need to see photos both inside and out to understand if you’re going to like them.

 In the City the buildings themselves are Brands and we want to showcase them and their unique features to open them up to all those people who pass them without ever understanding what they have to offer. What does the building itself stand for? What type of people live there?

 Manchester has some wonderful Iconic Developments, buildings like the Hacienda, Number One Deansgate, LeftBank and Beetham Tower standing proud alongside the Grand Old Dames of the city like Smithfield Buildings, Chepstow House, Century Buildings and Chorlton Mill.

 Trend setting schemes like Timber Wharf in Castlefield, Chips in Ancoats and Express Networks alongside the Northern Quarter have proved fertile enough to allow whole communities to spring up around them with shops, bars and leisure facilities.

 Our Video wall will enable us to show case the buildings and the unique facets of their little corner of town, it will help us to demonstrate why life in the city has attracted so many people, both young and old, escaping suburbia to enjoy all that the city has to offer.

 Buyers and Tenants want to express their personalities by the building they live in, they want to emulate the admirable, they want to be gregarious, sociable and hospitable and we can show them how to achieve all those things through the home they choose to live in.  

 Our new office won’t have A4 sheets of paper in the window with pictures of the same buildings with different kitchens featuring tea towels on ovens and bikes on balconies. We want to show Buyers and Tenants the best that Manchester has to offer, it is the buildings themselves and what’s around them that attracts people and not a photograph of someone else’s double bed.

 The best way to market City Centre property is to highlight the appealing features of the developments themselves instead of blandly describing the accommodation. At Thornley Groves we will achieve this by pulling together all of the property we market through our FOUR city centre offices and feature them on the big screen in our new office in John Dalton Street.

 If you own and want to rent or sell a property in one of Manchester’s Iconic Residential Developments, you need an agent that’s going to demonstrate to buyers and tenants why it’s great to live there, why you bought it, after all you thought about your decision long and hard, you made a choice and you now need an agent that understands Manchester Property to highlight those advantages to the next occupier.

 Make your property stand out from the crowd, list it now with Manchester’s most innovative and high Profile Estate Agent call 0161 245 1111 or  click www.thornleygroves.co.uk/valuation-request to book a FREE valuation and receive effective marketing advice.

Further Evidence that Buyers are Back !

The Hale Branch of  Thornley Groves Estate Agents has secured a premium price for a property after harnessing the interest of  dozens of buyers by taking them to sealed bids.

Plockton, a detached house located on the fringe of Hale village, set within approximately 2/3rds acre, has an interesting background. The land was purchased by a family in the 1930′s and in 1960 local builders of some repute, Browns of Wilmslow, were commissioned to build the house to the individual specification of the daughter of the landowners

Our client purchased the house in 1968 and has lived there ever since.  Although the house has always been impeccably maintained by our clients, it was in need of a full modernisation program to bring it up to the standard expected today.

As a 3 bedroomed house, there was massive potential to remodel and extend the house to create a much larger family home and this fact, coupled with the property’s highly desirable location, created somewhat of a conundrum in trying to value the house.

In a difficult market we wanted to ensure that we didn’t put buyers off with an overly optimistic price, but at the same time needed to create a safety net to ensure we achieved the best possible price for our clients. As such, we decided to market the house by inviting offers over £795,000.

Viewing commenced on the 30th March, when the market was a good deal cooler than it is today and buyers were invited to submit their offers by one month later on 30th April.

In those four short weeks 49 viewers visited the property on 73 separate viewings and on 30th April we received no less than 16 serious offers.

A sale price of just under £1,000,000 was agreed contracts were exchanged shortly after and legal completion takes place tomorrow. Needless to say our client was overwhelmed with the interest our marketing strategy was able to generate and truly delighted with the sale price.

Our extensive database of buyers, which we have carefully nurtured, maintained and worked hard to build up during the darkest days of the property market, was the key to us being able to identify so many potential purchasers in such a short time. The buyer hasn’t overpaid as there were so many other buyers bidding figures close to his own and the vendor knows he has achieved the best price possible, so everyone is happy.

If you have a home you are currently marketing or are considering marketing, this anecdote should give you the confidence to seek our help and advice.

Alternatively call Glyn Reacroft from the Hale Branch of Thornley Groves Estate Agents on 0161 942 4138 for a confidential discussion.

The Hale branch of Thornley Groves Estate Agents recently listed an end terrace house with an asking price of a quarter of a million pounds and exactly 40 days later the buyer that was found after just 2 weeks of marketing had exchanged contracts to purchase the house.

This quick sale at a premium price demonstrates that quality properties in the right locations will sell. More over the sale illustrates the ability of Thornley Groves to use its extensive database of ready willing and able buyers and match their specific criteria to properties that come on its books so that sales can be agreed with the most suitable buyers in very short time frames.

Continued reports that the housing market, although recovering remains sluggish seems to be deterring potential sellers from bringing their homes to the market, buyers are definitely on the hunt again, the very low level of fresh stock in the local market has created an unexpected opportunity for certain home sellers to find buyers at prices they only thought they could hope for and in time frames that surprise them!

If you have a period home within walking distance of Hale village or Altrincham town centre and are serious about selling but only if you can secure a reasonable price then call us now on 0161 941 4111 or click here http://www.thornleygroves.co.uk/valuation-request/ to arrange a FREE no obligation valuation from an agent that knows how to find buyers who can perform.
