We work hard to provide unrivalled customer satisfaction and it’s our clients and customers we want to impress with service that exceeds their expectations, yesterday our hard work was rewarded when we were honoured with a National award as a direct result of customer satisfaction.

Thornley Groves Estate Agents won the Prestigious Silver award for best UK small Letting Agent Chain.

The ESTAs 2010 were presented yesterday at the Marriott Hotel Park Lane London as the industry honoured the best estate agents in the UK.

The awards were presented by Phil Spencer of Location Location Location at a lavish lunch and ceremony attended by 450 of the UK’s top estate and letting agents.

The agents were recognised for their excellent customer service, as voted for by their clients during 2009. 

Phil Spencer said: “the great thing about the ESTAs is that the judges are the customers, they are not about impressing a panel of industry experts or how well you write your submission or answer questions in a telephone interview, but about the things agents do every day for their clients and customers”

The Letting agent results were determined by research carried out amongst both Landlords and Tenants both of which are a tricky group of people to impress, and these people were asked a series of questions about the service they have received from their letting agent.

Michael Groves  who attended the event is delighted for his team “A very large part of our business is lettings, we are Manchester City Centres and indeed Trafford’s busiest letting agent, our Property Management Department is trusted by thousands of landlords, when dealing with such volumes of flats to let and property rentals it’s important that our people and our systems are the best, this award proves that Thornley Groves have superb people delivering effective and reliable solutions for both Landlords and Tenants, achieved by having some of the best Letting and Management procedures in the whole of the UK”

Over 19,000 votes were received, making the ESTAS the largest survey as well as the most meaningful award scheme in the industry. Spencer also pointed out that there were no categories for the likes of best marketing campaign or lifetime achievement in the industry – “These don’t mean anything to the consumer, these awards are purely about the consumer experience,” he said.

Jason Watkin Operations Director of  Thornley Groves confirmed “an award that recognises customer service is very satisfying, every business strives to give good customer service but it can only be delivered if the employees at every level understand and respond to the needs of their customers every day.  I want to say a huge thank you to our Lettings Managers and our Property Management Department Managers along with members of their respective teams. Our Landlords and Tenants have received a service that motivated them respond to this competition so positively and has put Thornley Groves up there with the best the UK has to offer”

Thornley Groves have let an incredible 450 properties during August and September alone and desperately need more quality homes to rent now !

A campaign to secure new rental stock has been launched on Key 103 Radio station and in the local press including The Sale and Altrincham Messenger and The Stretford and Urmston Messenger.

The campaign is designed to attract landlords by our commitment to obtain the highest possible rent in the market place but within a very short time frame in order to minimise the void periods that can so easily leave a landlord considerably out of pocket.

Our ability to quickly analyse the supply and demand ratios for each individual property has enabled us to secure dramatically increased rents for many properties. Rather than just renewing with the existing tenant for an easy life, we are encouraging landlords to remarket their property 2 months before the end of the existing tenancy at its new current market value in order to maximise the return.

Our proven track record in being able to harness the interest of fully referenced, reliable tenants using the latest criteria matching software and then complete the letting fast, without compromising the quality of the referencing or inventory process, has seen our client list of landlords, who allow us not only to let but also manage their properties, break through the 1,500 mark during the last 12 months.

You’ve invested in property – trust Thornley Groves Estate Agents to deliver your return.

If you have a property that is coming up for renewal soon, or one that is currently available to rent, talk to Thornley Groves.  You can list the property with more than one agent at no extra charge and pay only the agent that lets the property for you.

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

Now let us sell your Property !

There are clear signs of real activity in the Manchester City Centre property Market we listed a great 2 bed apartment in the MM2 development in Manchesters vibrant Northern Quarter and agreed a sale within a week for a figure close to the asking price!

With the news media focussing on repossessions and how sluggish the property market is, it’s refreshing to see that real people – owner occupiers – are able to sell their properties in the current market, and guess what, the buyers are also real people, not buy to let investors but individuals who are buying to own and occupy in the city centre.

There is no denying that prices have dropped from their peak in August 2007 but the market and prices have stabilised and we are now registering more buyers on our database looking to buy, own and occupy than at any time in the last 18 months, buyers know that prices have become more much more realistic and the great mortgage deals that are out there mean that buying a place in the city centre has never been more affordable.

The sale this week of the MM2 apartment in the Northern Quarter highlights the fact that if you have a property you want to sell in the city centre and are willing to be realistic on price, Thornley Groves have the buyers ready willing and able to buy!
