Property pundits have been proved wrong again with the completion of the sale of a home in Hale village, at a recordhigh pre-financial crisis price, by Thornley Groves, the leading Hale Estate Agent.

The Beech Road property, a beautiful terraced home in the heart of Hale village, was sold for £345,000 in less than a week of being placed on the market. The sale just beats the record high for properties on Beech Road set by Thornley Groves in 2007, prior to the period of mortgage illiquidity brought about by the financial crisis.

There was obviously no shortage of buyers for the house on Beech Road, with the leading Hale Estate agents arranging 5 viewings within the first 48 hours of it coming to the market.

Despite the recent period of property market adjustment in the U.K., there remains a strong interest in properties for

Beech Road Hale Kitchen

sale in Hale and Manchester property in general, as explained by Glyn Reacroft, Manager of the Hale branch of Thornley Groves Estate Agents:

“Thornley Groves maintains a strong list of registered purchasers – and with a flow of interest like that you are always going to be confident of strong sales,” said Reacroft. “However, the sale of the Beech Road property is unique in that it not only represents a return to the strong prices of the market high two years ago, but actually beats them. This is a very positive sign for the market.”

Properties for sale in Hale and indeed those across the entire U.K. market look set to be spurred even further with the abolition of Home Information Packs (HIPs). With this crucial move the bar to marketing your home has been lifted, which means that at last the Manchester property market can start to function normally again.

As Managing Director, Michael Groves, was recently quoted as saying in the Manchester Evening News, Thornley

Groves Estate Agents feels very strongly that this move has come at the right time for the industry.

Promising as signs such as these may be, the world economic downturn and subsequent lack of market liquidity have undoubtedly taken their toll on the UK housing market in recent years. Here at Thornley Groves we appreciate these concerns and remain more dedicated than ever to helping you sell your home swiftly and for the right price. Our dedication to this goal is confirmed by our client and former owner of the Beech Road property, Julie A. Watson:

“Selling a house within ten days of the For Sale board going up with snow on the ground in the depths of winter was no mean feat, but Thornley Groves did it,” said Watson. “Arranging twelve viewings within ten days with carefully selected people – no time wasters – was no mean feat, but Thornley Groves did it. Thornley Groves did it because from start to finish they were friendly, helpful, courteous & totally professional. Nothing was too much trouble and unlike other companies, where the odd member of staff makes the difference, everyone at Thornley Groves is a team player.”

Property pundits have been proved wrong again as Sales of Period Homes in and around Hale Village continue to achieve pre credit crunch prices.

Period Homes close to the centre of Hale Village have always been in Strong demand, Hale is after all one of South Manchester’s most sought after places to live. The recently completed sale of a 4 bed Victorian terraced House in the village which had an asking price of £615,000 proves that despite the widely reported fall in house prices since the credit crunch, Hale seems to have avoided the house price crash.

Glyn Reacroft Manager of the Hale Branch of Thornley Groves Estate Agents confirmed that he has been operating in Hale for almost twenty years now and demand for properties in the Village is as strong as ever, “if anything there is upward pressure on prices as so many owners have postponed marketing because of negative reports in the media and this sentiment has created a shortage.”

There was obviously no shortage of buyers for the house on Albert Road, there were 6 viewings in the first week and a sale was agreed within 2 weeks of it coming to the market. Thornley Groves in Hale report that the majority of buyers contacting them look for Character properties and most of them want to be within walking distance of the village. They have a range of buyers registered looking for period homes from £200,000 to £3 million and are hungry for stock to satisfy the demand.

If you have a character property in or within walking distance of Hale Village that you’re trying to sell or would consider selling if you got the right price Thornley Groves offer a free valuation and marketing advice service. They won’t expect to put a board up the next day, they’ll be happy to try and find you something to move to if that would be the catalyst for a move call Glyn today for a confidential no obligation discussion on 0161 941 4111 or to request a valuation online click http://www.thornleygroves.co.uk/valuation-request/

The Hale and Altrincham offices of Thornley Groves Estate Agents have reported a 300% increase in sales agreed in the 3 months of September October and November 2009 compared with the same period last year.

Branch Manager Glyn Reacroft confirmed that viewings on properties for sale in the same period increased by 34% to 2405 even though stock levels are 30%  lower than this time last year.

Glyn commented that now is a great time to list your home if you are considering a sale in the next 6 months rather than waiting until after Christmas with more buyers looking and buying and fewer than normal properties being offered for sale.
