What started as an idea between two friends 15 years ago is now a rapidly expanding successful business, born in Accrington.
Steven Chippendale and Jamie Allen, joint Managing Directors of Property Shop, are celebrating their success with further expansion. With their dedicated team they are successfully managing over £100 million worth of properties throughout the North-West.
Steven Chippendale, said: “We didn’t expect the business to take off like this! I think it’s because we are such a specialised service, we don’t sell properties – it’s all about renting. Landlords and tenants know they are a priority and not secondary to the sale of a house or customers looking to purchase. It’s important to us to offer a trust-worthy service.”
“We have been so busy working hard we didn’t realise the amount of properties we have under our belt! Myself and Jamie had to double check, it’s such an achievement, we are grateful to the 17 members of staff for their dedication and also proud to be based in Accrington.”
Property Shop offers an unrivalled, unique letting service that is not comparable to any other service in Lancashire. As a specialist dedicated letting agent they give Landlords and tenants reassurance and a quality service. Now managing over 1000 properties they are undergoing expansion, creating more jobs in the area and assisting the ever expanding rental market.
Jamie Allen, said: “Most of our business has come from word of mouth and we have grown and grown without noticing! I think the reason landlords keep coming back to us is because of the unique services. Unlike other businesses we only accept quality tenants; part of this process is visiting potential tenants in their current home. The assessment process gives our landlords unrivalled reassurance. We also conduct thorough, regular, documented inspections. We tailor make services to meet their needs and pride ourselves on keeping everything in-house. This includes our maintenance team, meaning no inflated prices!”
