Sutton Kersh has seen a promising first quarter with an increase in their sales and lettings figures. Sutton Kersh is now part of the UKs largest estate agency network Countrywide and following the acquisition the local business appears to be going from strength to strength.

Their residential sales figures have seen a 15% increase when compared to last years first quarter and for their lettings department an increase of 8.5%.

Leah O Neil Branch Manager at Sutton Kersh West Derby said ‘We are now even stronger within the market place due to the extensive services & support we can now offer to customers. This is a result of being part of the Countrywide group, as we have even more resource available, enhancing our marketing of properties listed with us, as well as strengthening the service we provide with support both at a local and national level.’

Countrywide also reported a record level of sales activity in March which has been mirrored locally with both the residential sales and auction departments at Sutton Kersh seeing a significant spike in activity. This continues as sales don’t appear to be suffering despite the increase in stamp duty, which is positive for the local property market.

Due to the demand Sutton Kersh are currently seeing with sales activity along with an increased database of property buyers and landlords, they are now in the process of recruiting another member of staff for their auction department, having already successfully placed new employees within their sales and letting departments.

James Kersh also commented “There is clearly an increased investment within the City which in turn has raised the level of demand for property. This is great news for anyone looking to sell, as now really is an ideal time. We have achieved some great sale prices through both Sales and Auctions due to the increase in demand, so we are keen to obtain further instructions.”
