PROWTING Homes South East recently had their best sales week for the past six months with a total of 18 homes sold across the region.

“We had at least one sale from each of our nine live sites which is quite an achievement,” said Gaynor Fisher, sales and marketing director for Prowting.

“We have an excellent product and some excellent locations. The buying public have made their intentions clear and it is up to us to keep our customer service levels to as high a standard as possible.

Gaynor Fisher added: “The level of interest in our sites remains high and shows no sign of stopping at this stage. More and more customers are buying off plan, or at a very early build stage, as they can appreciate waiting until a home is built before making a commitment is going to mean they are likely to miss out.”

Independent East Kent estate agent, Colebrook Sturrock & Company, has acquired the estate agency and letting business of Prior’s in Bridge.

Nigel Colebrook, senior partner, said: “By moving into Bridge we feel that we shall be able to not only expand our management department - which already handles more than 130 properties - but it also gives us the stepping stone we need to handle property sales in the country areas between Canterbury and Folkestone and Canterbury and Ashford.”
