Interview with Tom Freeborn, Owner (July 2015)
What’s new at Freeborns?
We’ve traditionally focused our attention in the last few years on the lettings market and sales of specialist property such as holiday chalets. We remain Dartmouth’s longest established independent lettings agency and, as a family business, pride ourselves on offering a very high level of service. The business was started by my father in 1992 and I’m proud to have built up the lettings side so strongly over the past four years since I took over.
But I’ve wanted to rebuild our presence in property sales so I was delighted that, on the 1st June, Bob Hollies joined us. Bob previously managed the Charles Head agency in Dartmouth and latterly worked with Richard Blake and has extensive knowledge of the industry and the local market.
We are new obviously to the sales market but we are quickly building our portfolio. Bob’s energies are being spent on walking his ‘manor’, telling prospective vendors about what we now offer them that is special.
We are members of the National Association of Estate Agents, the Association of Residential Letting Agents, The Property Ombudsman and are also accredited members of the Tenants Deposit Scheme for rental properties.
We operate a modern mailing list, based on industry leading software, using emails and telephone calls to keep you up to date with the latest property coming to the market in Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and surrounding areas of the South Hams. Our properties are marketed on the Rightmove and Onthemarket websites backed up by advertising in local publications such as By The Dart and the Chronicle.
We also provide specialist services such as property management, energy performance certificates, commercial sales and lettings and business sales.
What’s your view of the market?
The sales market is now more stable – it’s still a buyers market but if a property is priced correctly and shows well, it will get offers. Our job is to get the best possible price for the vendor and we are very focused on that.
The lettings market remains strong – tenants are perhaps now more prepared to commit to long term tenancy agreements if the property is well presented and looked after either as an alternative to owning a property or perhaps whilst they wait for the right property to buy. We are always on the look out for good properties to let and we offer a reliable and professional service for both landlords and tenants.
