cLARE'S CLARITY
PUBLISHED BY
hen I began my career in
West London property
over two decades ago, I
remember my first boss’s
sage words, “The good news is there is
no bad news.” A realistic and positive
outlook in a challenging marketplace
is essential to success, and I’m pleased
to report there is plenty of good news
from our perspective.
Whilst the property landscape is
continually evolving, our office heated
up for a non-stop July and August.
We’ve had our most successful summer
to date and I can officially announce
our office is number one for both
sales and lettings in Hammersmith,
outperforming over 50 other local
agencies! Our new Chiswick office
is already one of the top performing
for sales agreed according to intel
from Rightmove and we continue
to outshine the majority of our
competition in Shepherds Bush. Our
lettings team are firmly on the front
foot and we are fully up-to-date with
incoming legislation and tax changes
whilst other agencies trail behind.

A selection of recent sales and lets and
why, as independent industry leaders,
we continue to rise to the top
So from my position here at Horton
and Garton HQ, the good news is that
there is plenty of good news – our
glasses are always half full, never half
empty, and it shows in our results. As a
local independent business at the heart
of our communities, we continue to
raise the standard of service within our
industry. If you are considering moving
or letting and you would like an up-to-
date valuation or if you’d prefer just to
get an honest account of the market
from a voice of experience, call us or
pop in to the offices and say hello.
