Charters, has celebrated the official opening of its new landmark property showroom in Southampton with several distinguished guests, including Southampton FC legend, Matthew Le Tissier, who proclaimed the new branch open.

Guernsey-born TV football pundit Le Tissier was capped eight times for England and played his entire career with Southampton where the fans affectionately dubbed him, ‘Le God’.

The move brings together the teams of property sales, valuation and lettings experts, and Charters Financial Services’ Mortgage Hub, under one roof. The new showroom of over 6,000 sq.ft. sits on a prestigious site at Stag Gates on The Avenue, which was formerly occupied by Hunters Land Rover.

Joining the opening was Southampton Mayor, Alex Houghton and Councillor Daniel Fitzhenry, Leader of Southampton City Council.

“We are delighted to be bringing the Charters brand of property sales to such an outstanding location,” said Robert Mott, Chairman of the Charters Group.

“I’ve been in the property industry for over 30 years and I’ve never seen a property showroom as large, prominent and well designed as this.

“It reflects our approach, which is distinctly different – it’s about offering traditional estate agency values, world-class IT and a face-to-face personal service within an inviting, accessible space.”
