Winkworth Opens its Doors in Hot Spot Beckenham
Winkworth Estate Agents are opening their sixth new office this year in Beckenham, Kent – cited as a property hot spot back in 2001 (Independent, 31.03.01). Property prices in the area are now 43% above the national average – but homes are still 12% cheaper than in the Capital (Land Registry, April 2009).
Dominic Agace, Managing Director of Winkworth says:
‘Beckenham is a fantastic new opening for Winkworth, dovetailing onto our extensive London network as a commuter hotspot for families looking for good schools and a strong community feel.
‘With prices having come down 20% from their 2007 peak, we anticipate great value for our clients looking to make the move with their family. We keenly anticipate tapping this exciting new office, run by the highly experienced Mark Atterano, into our existing client base in order to further meet their property requirements. As a company, this is another important step to take advantage of the opportunities that became available during the property downturn.’
Beckenham is 10 miles from London Bridge: you can be in Victoria, London Bridge or Waterloo East in around 30 minutes by direct train. Beckenham also has a Tramlink which links its terminus at Beckenham to East and West Croydon, and Wimbledon.
Mark Atterano, Franchisee of Winkworth Beckenham says:
‘After the slump in the market for the previous 18 months, since January there has been a big upsurge in activity and the encouraging signs are there. I believe now is an ideal time to open an office in Beckenham as the market makes its recovery. With our team’s experience and knowledge of the area, combined with the Winkworth brand, I believe Beckenham will now have an agent who can offer vendors and landlords the high level of service they deserve and should expect.’
Good schools, commuter links, shopping and parks, have all contributed to Beckenham’s popularity, and Winkworth is confident that the new office will be a success.
