Many buyers are falling for Leamington’s charms

Having been the leading agents for both new listings and for sales agreed in Leamington so far this year, ehB are pleased to report a very strong start to 2015.

Clive Thompson, office manager at ehB Leamington said: “Leamington is proving to be ever popular with buyers who appreciate its many features including good shopping, with a variety of independent shops and major high street stores, and a large choice of restaurants and bars.

“Together with its fine parks, Regency architecture and excellent communication links via both road and rail, it seems many are falling for its charms and choosing it as a place to live.

“Local employment opportunities being so strong mean we have a huge influx of first time buyers, young families and professionals on our books, all looking for good homes to buy, and there are many investors keen to capitalise on both the strong rental market and capital growth that such a vibrant town generates.

“This is helping sellers to achieve strong sale prices for their homes, and is in turn helping to encourage both up-sizers and down-sizers to move on.”

Leamington recently came third in the The Times’ list of the 30 best places to live in the UK. The article praised the town for its “white Regency terraces” which attract a host of residents including families, students and, more surprisingly, computer gaming companies. The newspaper further stated that “families also rate its schools, shops, parks and the surrounding Warwickshire countryside.”

Clive added: “We are delighted to have had such a good start to the year and to see the town get the praise it rightly deserves. It’s a wonderful place to live, being small enough to get about relatively easily whilst enjoying the cultural benefits and shopping opportunities a larger town or city would offer.

“As Leamington’s leading independent estate agent, our approach gives ehB a real edge, ensuring our clients get not only a good price but also excellent service from a highly experienced sales team working together to secure a smooth sale.”
