Introduction

A warm welcome...

As we celebrate our first successful year trading as Zoe Napier Country & Equestrian, we have also looked back. In our experience 2011 has not been that bad in our part of the South East, so long as sellers have been realistic about what to expect. Most of the property coming onto the market is now being launched at its correct market value.

This is why our sold boards have become more noticeable. Buyers realise that it has never been a better time to purchase, especially if they are looking to invest long term or require a mortgage, taking advantage of the lowest rates ever.

The beginning of 2011 was regarded as the adjustment period for overpriced property. During May, June and July, we experienced sales levels equivalent to those at the height of the market, with August being busier than expected and the Autumn months already showing continued good signs.

Successfully running a business in a period threatened with a ‘double dip’ recession has allowed our Company to work smartly and establish our strict standards which will continue into the future.

We welcome your contact, whether buying or selling in the countryside, at any time.

From a professionals point of view

“

I have worked with Zoe and Eve on numerous occasions and am always impressed by their professional attitude, expertise in their field together with their enthusiasm and energy in progressing matters for both their clients and buyers. They make my job as a property lawyer much more straight forward and are always a pleasure to work with.

”

“

Deborah Foley Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP Legal Executive

“

These ladies have a deep knowledge of equestrian and rural property and strong commercial sense. Their clients receive the best advice. These girls’ robust sense of humour and “can-do” attitude cuts down the stress and delays that can plague high value property deals.

They are great to deal with and wonderful to have on your side.

“

Matthew White Prettys Solicitors, Chelmsford Partner and Head of Commercial Properties

These ladies sold our country home with the efficiency and speed we needed. Their proactive approach was great and they kept us fully informed, best of all - they were always contactable at any time of day (and night) which made a huge difference to us by saving worry. They brought their own brand of cheer and optimism to what could have been a difficult process. In short, they were a delight to deal with throughout.

”

Stephen & Jacqui Kew Kew Partnership Solicitors Lawyers & former clients

”

In my 27 years of practice in Chelmsford I have dealt with a great many estate and land agents. I regard Zoe as being among the small group of quality professionals I have enjoyed dealing with throughout my career.

Zoe knows her field and more importantly either knows or gets to know her clients at a highly personal level, “she lives the sale”.

Every professional needs quality support and Eve? ...she’s the best.

”

Graeme Atkinson Wortley Redmayne Kershaw

“

Zoe’s equestrian practice is very well known and respected in her home patch of Essex. As a committed and enthusiastic equestrienne, Zoe brings a practical equine perspective to her professional life in a way that I can relate to. She is the only agent I have actually seen on the back of a horse!
