TESTING TIMES
We opened the doors at our Stockbridge office almost 10 years
ago. During that time we have seen considerable activity out of the
Test Valley market place. It is of course a distinct and
distinguished area. One of considerable beauty in terms of the
countryside and rural villages. The River Test itself is of course
a magnet for the fishing enthusiasts, but it is otherwise just a
natural unspoilt environment to live in.
Over the past few years, despite more troubled times this area
of Hampshire has bucked virtually every trend, and still continues
to be an area where demand considerably outweighs supply and to a
wide range of consumer groups. I believe that it is fair to say
that over the years we have probably sold a property in every
street of every village across the area, but one of the most
significant distinctions is that of the way the area attracts
interest through our TV internet site. The TV internet channel
viewing statistics indicates that interest extends through 15
countries including China, India, The Middle East, South Africa,
America and of course across Europe. However, it was the unspoilt
villages of the Test Valley that received in 2011 the highest
number of overseas enquiries than any other destination in
Hampshire. So naturally it follows that this service,
www.penyards.tv will now be twinned to part of a promotional
package with advertising in the Financial Times to widen further
the extensive media exposure available for our clients properties.
I look forward to hearing from you directly to discuss any of your
buying or selling requirements so please call me on 01264
810863.
