Major agency brands unveil new branches

It’s been a busy week for agency branch openings.

Dexters is the latest to unveil new offices in London, opening nine across Blackheath, Brockley, East Dulwich, Honour Oak, Ladywell, Lee, New Cross, Nunhead and Peckham Rye.

There are now more than 80 Dexters’ offices across London, including 12 in prime central London.

Andy Shepherd, chief executive of Dexters, said: "Dexters now has more local offices and a greater presence than any other estate agency in London. 

“With more local offices than any other London chain, Dexters has become the capital’s market leader offering an unrivalled personal service to buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across the city. 

London-wide resources include our corporate lettings and international relocation teams which gives us global reach with over 10,000 new enquiries from around the world every year."

Meanwhile, DJ Alexander has opened new premises north of the border in Glasgow.

It has opened a new office in Byres Road in Glasgow. The outlet at 303 Byres Road employs 20 people.

Catherine Bruce, sales and lettings director of the new branch, said: “The key advantage of having a high street presence is providing an accessible location for our existing and prospective clients to come in, sit down, and have a face-to-face conversation about either a specific property or their general needs as a buyer. 

“Nowadays, clients are too often dealing with a call centre, and we believe that having the facility to speak to our experienced members of staff in the flesh helps us to provide that excellent level of customer service which we are known for.”

The new DJ Alexander office in Glasgow is hosting an open day on January 19 between 10am-3pm where the staff will be happy to welcome anyone wishing to come in and discuss their property needs.
