£3m flying start provides ‘moving in’ present for BE Worcestershire’s new offices

Estate agency Berriman Eaton Worcestershire has capped an impressive first three months of trading by officially moving into its new base in the county.

The company, which is run by property experts Debbie Fellows and Julia Simonds, has put the finishing touches to its prestigious offices at Churchill & Blakedown Golf Club near Kidderminster.

More than £150,000 has been spent on setting up the new operation and this is already paying dividends with £3 million of properties sold or let by the experienced duo in just a few weeks.This is just the start, with the estate agents now looking to make the most of an extension to the Stamp Duty holiday and increasing demand from buyers looking to move out of the city and into the countryside.

“The Churchill Suite is a real hidden gem, set in the heart of the wonderful Worcestershire countryside and central to the areas we have worked in for over 20 years,” explained Julia Simonds, Director at BE Worcestershire.

“In the old days, buyers had to visit the local estate agency shop to find out what properties were available and you had to be on the high street to be seen as an established agency. These days, people can get information, pictures and videos instantly and want more flexibility when it comes to meetings and viewings, meaning we could be a bit more creative with our location.”

She continued: “We now get to look out across a golf course every day and clients that visit us are wowed by our amazing views. All the technology is now in place and the location is at the heart of all the main villages we have or are looking to have properties in.”

BE Worcestershire is part of Berriman Eaton Estate Agents.

Berriman Eaton was created in 2006 following the amalgamation of David Berriman and Eaton Estates.
