Kendal’s Arnold Greenwood Estate Agents has expanded with the launch of a new south Cumbria branch.

Estate agency services at the new office in Grange-over-Sands are provided by the established Arnold Greenwood team of manager Dan Woolf and valuer Keeley Finlayson-Smith alongside Sophie Bainbridge, who joins the team as sales negotiator.

Woolf said: “The new estate agency branch in Grange has got off to a great start. We had four properties on the books on the day we opened and we have had a steady flow of enquiries and visitors to the office ever since.

“We’re very happy to have the new branch up and running – it’s such a lovely area and everyone has been so welcoming.”

The launch of the new branch was made possible by the merger of parent company Arnold Greenwood Solicitors with the Grange-over-Sands practice of solicitor Shirley M. Evans.

Evans, who has practiced in Grange since 1994, said: “It’s very exciting to have started this new chapter for the practice. I’m still here ready to help my clients in the way I always have, but I am now able to call on additional expertise to offer a wider range of services and help more people than ever before.

“The addition of the estate agency is another fantastic development and means that we can help clients to deal with the entire conveyancing process under one roof.”

Partner Lee Hughes added: “Shirley’s track record of high-quality and personal service is outstanding, and we feel very fortunate to have welcomed her to the Arnold Greenwood team.”
