Richard Blake joins leading estate agency network Winkworth (October 2017)
Winkworth, a leading London estate agency, is pleased to announce the addition of two local Richard Blake offices to its network. The offices, which cover the Dartmouth and Torbay areas, will still be fully owned and operated by directors Richard Blake and Trevor Branton, but now trading under the Winkworth name.
With almost 50 years combined experience in the industry, Richard and Trevor are set to expand on their already well-established reputation and knowledge of the local area, combined with the strong presence and backing that comes with being part of the Winkworth network.
Commenting on joining Winkworth, Richard says: “This is a very exciting time for us and we are thrilled to take this next step so we can continue to serve the needs of local home buyers and sellers to the best of our abilities. Our staff, values and strong local presence will all stay the same, but now we will be able to tap into the excellent back office support functions provided by Winkworth as well as benefitting from their excellent national reputation.”
The Winkworth Dartmouth and Torbay offices will retain their current teams, both offering residential sales to homemovers across Dartmouth and Torbay. The teams will also now benefit from Winkworth’s full back office support services including dedicated marketing, PR, recruitment and IT teams, plus its established country house department which markets prime properties to individuals in the capital, providing a link to the London buyer.
Richard continues: “As part of the Winkworth network, we can offer a fully comprehensive, professional service to our customers and the close link with the London market will prove invaluable to sellers whose homes can now be marketed to a much wider range of buyers. The market has been very positive this summer and we expect it to continue performing well so, if you’re looking for a new home or are thinking of selling, please don’t hesitate to get in contact for more information on the services that we provide.”
The property market across Dartmouth and Torbay is currently very buoyant, with a vibrant mix of house hunters including full time residents, holiday home owners and the local sailing community. Torbay is currently undergoing significant investment with many quality new shops and restaurants opening and, with preparations now under way for the Mayflower 400 celebrations, the local economy is benefitting from heightened tourism and regular visits from large cruise ships. Having experienced a very busy summer, the Dartmouth and Torbay offices expect the market to continue at a pace throughout the rest of 2017.
