If the harbingers of economic doom have been bringing you down, consider this positive story. Louisa Hooper of Jackson Stops & Staff says: “The Old Smithy is part of a new development in Rockbeare in Devon. It’s a spacious, four- bedroom home, designed to be traditional on the outside and modern on the inside. I agreed this sale of The Old Smithy on the morning of Brexit Friday, June 24, and the sale completed on July 7.”
“I think that absolutely shows confidence in the market as well as a focused approach by both our firm and the solicitors.”
Other agents have been reporting successful sales this week: Bradleys estate agents sold 36 Stoneborough Lane in Budleigh Salterton, an extended and modernised 1930s house with three bedrooms, set in pretty gardens and in easy walking distance of the coast and the town.
This attractive home sold within two weeks of coming on the market. Just before the EU referendum, Atwell Martin in Plymouth reported the sale of Whitchurch, a beautiful Victorian villa in Mannamead, off a guide price of £895,000.
