Fresh from its success at the Business Awards Derbyshire,
leading property auctioneer Graham Penny Auctions has announced
that it is set to expand its operation with the launch of a new
estate agency division.
The company, which scooped the Most Promising New Business
category at the recent business awards, continues to dominate the
East Midlands auction market and has retained the title of
Auctioneer of the Year since its inception in 2006 after topping
the Essential Information Group's league table for the highest
sales.
The new division, which will be known as Graham Penny Estates,
has been launched in response to increasing demand from both
private and commercial clients who want to sell properties by
private treaty as well as auction and prefer the convenience of
placing properties with one company.
Robert Stone, who has more than ten years estate agency
experience, has been appointed to manage the new division. Graham
himself will be involved in the new division, but his focus remains
on maintaining the success of the company's Derby and London
auction operations.
Graham Penny Estates will operate from the company's existing
premises on St James' Street in Derby.
Commenting on the division, Graham Penny said: "Over the
past 12 months an increasing number of clients have enquired about
the possibility of placing properties with us for sale by private
treaty as well as auction. This new division will enable us to meet
this demand and pass on our vast amount of market intelligence and
experience to an even wider audience
Robert has lived and worked in the region all his life and has
extensive experience of the local housing market and as a branch
manager for a leading firm of estate agents. His local knowledge
and expertise will prove invaluable to our new division," added
Graham.
Graham Penny Auctions acts for both private individuals and
institutions selling a wide range of interests, from investment
properties and vacant houses to building plots, commercial
investment properties and others.
