Your Move Winsford say big is better

2:30pm Wednesday 17th March 2010

Your Move in Winsford is celebrating following the announcement that it is now part of the single largest estate agency brand in the UK and will join 335 other branches across the UK in a combined effort to support local customers.

The enviable title follows Your Move's recent acquisition of more than 100 branches from another well known estate agency brand, part of a UK wide acquisition of 215 branches in total by Your Move's parent company LSL Property Services plc (LSL). It's a position that not only benefits the company as a whole but also, it believes, its customers too.

Richard Jackson for Your Move (Nicholson & Jackson) in Winsford said: "It's very exciting news for Your Move but also for the local team. The fact that our parent company LSL has managed to weather the storms of recent times and has reported industry leading trading results means we clearly benefit from being part of a bigger organisation - as do our customers in terms of the competitively priced products and services and significant marketing opportunities we offer.

"We've already got together a great local team who, because of their individual knowledge and experience of the local market, have a proven track record of success. Now, however, because we are part of a bigger concern we can work with colleagues in other branches across the country in selling or renting our properties and attracting customers from further afield to our branch.

"Your Move itself has embarked on a massive nationwide advertising and PR campaign, as many would expect from an agency of our size, which we are supporting at local level too. It means even more people will get to know the name and come to appreciate the value of dealing with a larger agency and, as a result we should have even more buyers and sellers coming 'on board' which benefit each other. The sheer fact that we have good geographical coverage, for example, means we have a greater appreciation about what is happening in the market as a whole and how it could impact on the local market. Added to this we also, of course, pride ourselves on making sure we keep up with the changing legislation and government developments to ensure customers can take advantage of any opportunities that arise or react, in time, to any imminent changes in the market. We build our reputation on trust and good quality customer service and this is one way we can demonstrate this.

"Our commitment to the development of our products and services has already been acknowledged with the recent announcement that we won three Gold Awards at the highly regarded Estate Agency of the Year Awards 2009 where we won Gold for Best Large Estate Agency, Best Large Lettings Agency and Best Technology/Web - complimenting the fact that we already have the most visited estate agency website in the UK today. We're now not only bigger but, we believe, we're even better.

"All in all 2010 has started on a high point for Your Move and it's a position the local team certainly want to build on - we've got the support of LSL, the recognition of the industry and the size and stability to succeed and we simply can't wait to tell even more Your Move customers why bigger can be better.
