New manager takes the helm at Connells

Robert joins the Kenilworth team from the company’s branch in Rugby where he was manager for several months. Robert is an experienced and knowledgeable estate agent having worked in the industry for nearly 15 years at a range of independent and corporate estate agencies throughout Warwickshire.

He said: “I am delighted to have been appointed as the manager of Connells Kenilworth office. I previously worked as an estate agent in the town some years ago, so I know the local area well.

“The team are very pro-active in their approach and pride themselves on providing excellent customer service. I can’t wait to build on the branch’s success and to help push business forward.”

An increase in higher loan-to-value mortgage products as well as stabilising house prices and Government initiatives such as FirstBuy, are lending a helping hand to first-time buyers keen to get on the housing ladder. “Over the past few months there has been an increase in the number of first-time buyers looking to purchase in Kenilworth and the surrounding areas. This is great for all homeowners, as first-time buyers help to stimulate the market from the bottom up,” said Robert.

The housing market in Kenilworth is buoyant and Connells has seen increased activity in January.

“Properties that are well presented, correctly priced and pro-actively marketed are continuing to sell well. There is however increased demand from buyers looking to purchase in the area, so we desperately need more quality properties to sell to meet demand,” he added.

If you’re thinking of moving in 2012 and would like further information on the housing market or want to arrange a free market appraisal, contact Connells Kenilworth office on 01926 857461 or visit the branch at 29 Warwick Road.
