Over 25 years of expertise in Commercial Property/Land development/Residential Investment Property markets. I work daily in the Retail, Business Sales, Hotels & Guest House, Land, Residential Investment, Leisure, Office & Industrial sectors of the market.
Excellent knowledge of Lancashire and working out of Preston and the Fylde Coast. I act for a wide variety of Private and Corporate clients and enjoy nothing more than seeing an property transaction through from initial listing to a successful completion.
I am also delighted and honoured to have won the Estate Gazette’s Most Active Dealmaker (for Lancashire and Cumbria). Along with my colleague Clare, I have also led our agency team to winning the EG Most Active Agent award on numerous occasions. We are very proud to have won this award.
