Meller Braggins estate agents is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen Nixon as manager of the Northwich branch.

Stephen brings a wealth of experience and has operated in the industry throughout mid Cheshire for more than 34 years, having always resided in the local area.

He said: “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to join Meller Braggins, which is such a well established and respected company that’s woven into the fabric of Northwich estate agency.

“Apart from retaining strong and effective traditional marketing, I am impressed that the company is also extremely innovative, forward thinking and determined to be at the forefront of business technology.

“For example, Rightmove data reveals that 56 per cent of people search for property to buy using their mobile phone.

“The company has reacted and introduced a superb ‘Meller Braggins’ phone app, which is free to download on all Android and iPhones.

“With many more sales initiatives, I have joined what is already a thriving office with an experienced sales team of 10 staff in both residential and lettings, who maintain an appetite to improve upon our success to date.

“It has been a difficult time in the industry over the last few years, but there is now an encouraging upward trend in sales from our Northwich branch, which is being reflected across our network of offices throughout Cheshire.”

Meller Braggins is one of the north west’s leading estate agents and remains a major force in the industry.

Committed to an ongoing programme of improving its comprehensive one-stop shop facilities, the company takes pride in a market position achieved over more than 170 years of operation.

Meller Braggins has a strong professional team who are able to deal with virtually all property related matters.

Although the sale and purchase of residential properties remains the most significant element of the company’s business, in recent years the expansion of Meller Braggins’ auction programme and the growth of residential letting and management services have greatly augmented the facilities the team are able to offer clients.

In tandem with this, Meller Braggins has also developed its range of professional services, offering excellent coverage of commercial properties, surveys and valuations.
