Welcome to The Thistleblower,
We hope you had a good summer!
We have had a lot of activity in both sales and lettings departments and are looking forward to what we think will be a very busy autumn with more new homes to be released and clear demand for property to rent and buy.
As always we are on hand to offer advice should you be selling or letting so please get in touch.
Best Wishes
Roxanne Lewington, BA (Hons) Cert DDM, Marketing Manager
