After a number of months of an apparent shortage of stock - possibly due to the fact that houses have been selling so quickly - our offices have reported an encouraging rise in new instructions. Encouraging, too, is that houses are still selling well. A more balanced market is a good thing. Potential vendors who are naturally enthusiastic about high prices, are also discouraged from putting their house on the market if there is nowhere for them to buy… What is noticeable is that correct pricing is becoming more relevant to achieving that ready sale. Good advice is the key!

Our Commercial Surveyor, Andrew Martin, is taking a step back from the day to day world of commercial property, to concentrate on Strakers’ growing Development Land and Auctions business. As a result, we have teamed up with commercial property specialist Huw Thomas, of Huw Thomas Commercial, who will now provide Strakers’ clients with a full range of commercial property services.
Based in Chippenham, Huw Thomas has over 25 years of experience of dealing with commercial property in the Wiltshire, Bath and Somerset area. Commenting on the new agreement, Huw Thomas says “Strakers match my ethos as a well-established, independent business, with an excellent reputation and a strong client base that I can hopefully provide added value to”.
Antony Bulley, our Managing Director added “We are delighted to be able to keep Andrew’s experience and knowledge in the business, and that we can continue to provide a more dedicated commercial property service to our client base. We are therefore delighted to have reached a working agreement with Huw that benefits both businesses”. You can contact Huw via our network of 8 offices or directly on 01249 704345 or huw@huwthomascommercial.com; and Andrew is on 01380 723451 or andrew.martin@strakers.co.uk

Some say that golf just spoils a good walk, however judging by the third Helen Straker Charity Golf Day at Castle Combe on Thursday that simply cannot be true! 22 teams teed-off at midday, as the sun shone on the glorious Manor House Golf Club, for a most enjoyable afternoon’s golf; followed by a fine dinner and a charity auction. The event, which was organised in aid of the RUH Forever Friends and Dorothy House, was judged a great success. The golf was won by ‘Team Jelf’ and auctioneer Charlie Doel had more than a handful of generous lots to offer ranging from a fine Vintage Cognac to helicopter and glider flights over the Wiltshire countryside. MD Antony Bulley comments ‘we were delighted to offer our support and assistance again at what has become an annual event to look forward to.’
