SHEFFIELD ALL SET TO WELCOME THE COUNTRYS LEADING LETTINGS SPECIALIST, BELVOIR!

Posted on Wednesday, 05 April 2006 03:53PM by pr
A former Law graduate of Sheffield University has teamed up with the country’s leading letting specialists, BELVOIR!, and set up his own business in the heart of Sheffield.

Having worked in seven different countries, including being a real estate agent with sales and lettings experience, globetrotter Rick believes that he has the experience and skills necessary to provide a great service to the Sheffield buy to let market. With the quality that comes with the Belvoir! name he is set to provide a service to the Sheffield area that is second to none.

Rick is a keen traveler and sportsman, having visited forty countries to date and playing county tennis and semi-professional football along the journey. Most recently he has been a buy to let investor and has built up a portfolio of properties.

Rick says “It feels good to be coming back to Sheffield to begin a venture that I really believe in. This is a really great opportunity for my family and I have a great fondness for this city having spent my student years here. I am glad to be able to put down some roots here, and look forward to delivering quality service with the prestigious Belvoir! name behind me.”

Belvoir! offers a comprehensive property management, lettings and buy to let service both nationally and on a local level. In addition they offer legal, insurance and financial services supported by expert advice and protection for both landlords and tenants. Belvoir! Sheffield provides an exceptional and flexible service with accompanied viewings available seven days a week, 8am to 8pm.

A recent nationwide survey by Belvoir revealed a record surge in the rental market, as the housing boom has triggered an unprecedented swing away from home ownership. Figures show a 40% increase in lettings during the past 12 months, as many first time buyers are priced out of the property market.

The new Belvoir! office will be a welcome addition to the city following this boom in the rental market along with the large student population from two major universities. Belvoir! aims to provide a hassle-free, quality one stop shop for their clients and pride themselves on their reputation for excellent customer service.

Speaking about this new business venture Rick said “I am feeling excited and extremely positive about this opportunity. Belvoir is the market leader in terms of setting standards within the lettings industry and in the intensive training the company provides, so that I can add real value to landlords, investors and tenants. I can’t wait to get started and fully intend to provide the excellent service that Belvoir are renowned for. We offer the most comprehensive property management service available with the option of our ‘Ultimate Let’ package.”

The new operation in Sheffield has been happily welcomed by Belvoir chief executive Mike Goddard, who heads the company’s growing network of 86 offices across the UK and handles a property portfolio valued at over £1 billion.

Mr Goddard said “We are very pleased to welcome Rick to the company. We are confident that he will fit into the role well and successfully uphold the quality service that we provide here at Belvoir. We have a strict vetting procedure, which begins when someone applies to join the Belvoir franchise network. Out of 2000 enquiries annually only 1% succeeds.”

As part of the Belvoir! group Rick will attend regular seminars to keep him up to date on trends in the ever-changing property market and legal aspects of property management. Belvoir! Sheffield office also benefits from the support of experts and specialists from Belvoirs Central Office team. In this way, Belvoir! Sheffield will guarantee to consistently offer a professional quality service to both landlords and tenants.
