The First Time Buyer’s Stamp Duty Holiday ends on 24th March.

Until then, first time buyers do not have to pay any stamp duty on purchases up to £250,000.  At 1% of the purchase price this represents a saving of up to £2,500, meaning you don’t have to save as long to get your deposit together.

If you have been considering buying your first home, this is the ideal time to take advantage of this gift from the Government.

At Thornley Groves Estate Agents we have over 300 properties for sale in this price range across our 8 offices in Hale, Altrincham, Sale, Urmston and Manchester City Centre so wherever takes your fancy, you are sure to be able to find something appealing.

Exciting News!

Thornley Groves Estate Agents take over the Meller Braggins Premises and Stock in Hale Village further strengthening our position as market leader in Hale, Hale Barns and Bowdon.

After almost 20 years in our high profile branch premises on the corner of Ashley Road and Victoria Road opposite the level crossing in Hale Village, Thornley Groves is delighted to announce a move to  premises which are even more prominently located in the very heart of the busiest part of the Village.  

Thornley Groves approached the Directors of Meller Braggins with a view to acquiring their Hale Branch and after lengthy consideration they decided to accept our approach and the acquisition is now complete. 

In the coming weeks we will be rebranding the office and relocating from our existing office to the new one. From Friday 18^th November, both Thornley Groves Hale offices will be manned and will promote all of the merged Thornley Groves’ and Meller Braggins’ stock of properties for sale and, when the relocation is complete, our existing office will be closed. 

This relocation will raise the profile of Thornley Groves still further. We were already the Number One Estate Agency Player in Hale Village in terms of the volume of properties for sale in Hale, Hale Barns and Bowdon and, as such, we receive a higher level of enquiries than any of our competitors. The combined stock of Meller Braggins and Thornley Groves means that we will be the Market Leader by a long way. 

If you are currently marketing your home in Hale, Bowdon, Hale Barns or surrounding areas, you should seriously consider instructing Thornley Groves Estate Agents to handle your sale. 

With more properties available than any other agent, it stands to reason that we receive more enquiries from active buyers. 

Using Thornley Groves will ensure you expose your property to the widest possible audience.
