Catherine Mead Mews, Bedminster Six Freehold townhouses A stylish terrace of Freehold houses close to the city centre with courtyard gardens.
OUR CLIENTS SAID : "I purchased the site from a Hollis Morgan auction and was
impressed with the service so I asked their new homes team to market the 6 properties on a multi-agency agreement. Calum Melhuish and his team took control of the process including off plan and pre-launch tactics. Once built he arranged for the furniture staging, professional photos and high profile adverts and editorials. We had a constant flow of viewings and feedback from Calum’s team and Hollis Morgan sold 5 of the 6 units – I could not have asked for anymore!" JH GROUP

stages from our expression of interest through to the final sale. Their advice included commentary on house types and number of plots, opinions on plot layouts, level of finish and specification as well as projected values and suggested asking prices. The Marketing strategy enabled us to sell all 10 plots at full asking price – 6 off plan.
