Ten years’ success A
FTER opening its doors for the first time in January 2002, Cathy Behan Estate Agents is now proudly celebrating its 10th year of success.
The leading independent estate agent credits its success to the expertise, professionalism and local knowledge of its staff. As well as marking its 10year anniversary, the leading independent firm has double cause for celebration, as sole owner of the Bebington-based firm, Cathy Behan, explains: “We are delighted to announce we have been awarded our licence from the National Association of Estate Agents – it is prudent that all sellers ask and ensure that
their chosen selling agent is registered.” The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) is a leading professional body for estate agents. The NAEA regulates, guides and assists its members to offer the best possible service, and only those who meet exceptionally high standards can become a licensed NAEA member. Cathy adds: “We believe our success has been due to our professional and personal service; we consider that our expertise and high level of commitment to client care will ensure our clients will always receive the best possible service.” Having worked at a large, family-owned estate agency in Bebington for more than two
decades before setting up Cathy Behan Estate Agents, Cathy has an unrivalled level of expertise and knowledge of the local market. “I have 25 years’ experience of valuing in Bebington, and operating a ‘no sale, no fee’ policy ensures clients only pay for success,” adds Cathy. Highly experienced, the Cathy Behan team take pride in offering a service that’s second to none and helping buyers and sellers alike to make their next move. “As well as offering a highly personal service, the company utilises the latest technology and provides free video tours and 3D floorplans. ● Call 0151 643 1555 or visit 9 Church Road, Bebington, CH63 7PG.
BUNGALOW ● Croft Close, Prenton, £850pcm
THIS tastefully decorated, bright and spacious, extended three bedroom bungalow is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac occupying a large plot. The property benefits from central heating and double glazing throughout and offers flexible accommodation including large a entrance porch, through lounge/dining
room and a fully fitted modern kitchen with a full range of wall and base units with integrated oven, hob and dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. Off the hallway there is a large family bathroom with walk-in shower, two basins, wc, bath and ample storage. The master bedroom has a
kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor. The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating and has just been redecorated throughout.
THIS could be the year in which property renting becomes the new ‘owning’, according to one of the UK’s largest letting experts, Belvoir. Increasing consumer nervousness, rising levels of unemployment and a squeeze on peoples’ purchasing power, triggered by a global downturn and the current Eurozone debt crisis, are all factors which could make many turn their back on prospective home ownership, predicts the company. “I believe that, for reasons of flexibility, mobility and budget, 2012 will see a shift towards more people viewing renting as a preferred lifestyle choice, rather than a necessity,” says Dorian Gonsalves, managing director of Belvoir. “By renting a property, people are able to plan their spending much more accurately and also have the flexibility to relocate and follow job offers. These factors are currently gaining increasing importance in the current financial climate.”
