An estate agency in Telford is in the process of expanding its existing premises into the shop next door.
Mannleys in Telford acquired a Wellington town centre building that they had previously been renting last year, and are now in the process of expanding its existing office.
Director Aaron Manley said: “Until now, the sales side of the business was on the ground floor with a hairdressers next door, our lettings and mortgage advisers being situated on the first floor.
“When the hairdressers decided to vacate the building, we saw it as an opportunity for company expansion but also a way to bring all sides of the business together and create a more modern and unified set up for clients.
“We started the refurbishment after Christmas and are expanding the space by about 400 square feet. It should be ready for the teams to move into at the beginning of April.
“We are very much still open; the teams have currently moved upstairs while we complete the building work.
“From April, our sales and lettings teams will all be together, along with a training room, a dedicated appointment room for mortgage advice and an open and welcoming reception. We feel this will offer our customers a much better experience.”
He added: “It’s already been a fantastic start to the year for Mannleys and following on from 12 months ago when we won the Gold award for Telford for our letting’s services in The British Property Awards, an accolade won three times by our sales team previously in 2018, 2021 and 2022. We have more exciting news to follow, so watch this space.”
