Working From Home 'set to boost agencies in key areas'

Fine & Country has opened another office - this time in Exeter, one of the most popular locations to which people have moved since the start of the pandemic.

The branch covers a wide area extending from Exeter across much of mid-, east and south Devon. 

The office will be headed by an associate director, Jonathan Gilbert-Steers, a Devonian who has spent over two decades in property and marketing for agencies in the south west region. 

Gilbert-Steer says the area is one which will benefit from any long-term shift towards working from home. 

“With this newfound freedom, we have discovered that many more national and international buyers have chosen to move to the area, where one is closer to nature yet can still enjoy city life. 

“As with other areas around the country, we too have seen an increase in the number of people moving home since the easing of the restrictions, which has stimulated house prices as demand outstrips supply. The strong market has attracted more homeowners who wish to make the most of the current market.”

Nicky Stevenson, managing director of Fine & Country UK, says: “We wish Jonathan and the team at the new Fine & Country office in Exeter all the best as they start their journey. Their expert local knowledge combined with the support of an established premium brand will be a force to be reckoned with.”
