Besley Hill, the west’s largest independent estate agency group, are celebrating their 35th anniversary with rising property sales.
“The housing market is bouncing back,” said managing director Adam Offer (pictured). “Buyers are returning and our performance has improved in all sectors of the business.”
Over the past 12 months, the group’s sales have increased by 44%, new buyer registrations by 85%, viewings by 37% and instructions by 9%, while pipeline business is up 44%.
“These figures mean that we have started the year in a much healthier position,” said Mr Offer. “But, as a consequence of this sales success, our stock of available property is down by 15% on a year ago, so we need more homes to sell.
“The revival in the property market is benefiting all our offices and I am confident that the trend will continue during the year ahead.”
Besley Hill, based in Thornbury, have 15 branches throughout Bristol and Gloucestershire.
They are at Bedminster, Bishopston, Bishopsworth, Chipping Sodbury, Downend, Dursley, Easton, Fishponds, Kingswood, Knowle, Longwell Green, Stroud, Thornbury, Whitchurch Village and Wotton-under-Edge.
In addition, property is sold under the hammer at regular sales conducted by Besley Hill Auctions.
Philip Besley and Robert Hill founded Besley Hill in 1977 with one branch in the Kingswood area of Bristol.
The growth has mainly been organic but the expansion into South Gloucestershire followed the acquisition of several estate agency offices from The Halifax.
A full range of property services is provided including house sales, lettings, mortgages (in conjunction with the award-winning Mortgage Advice Bureau), financial services, auction, survey and conveyancing.

Bouncing back might be a little optimistic but good to know there are some signs of improvement.
