At Salisbury estate agency Carter & May, we’re delighted to announce our acquisition of family firm Avon Lettings. We believe we’re the perfect fit for this agency, currently specialising exclusively in rentals – and we believe we have a huge amount in common:
- Like Carter & May, Avon has extensive experience in the industry, with a sound knowledge of the market across Salisbury and beyond, and enjoys a strong local reputation.
- Like us, they love our part of the world and know it inside out.
- We share a strong commitment to providing a superlative level of customer service to both landlords and tenants.
- Both of us are keen to make the process of renting out a property as hassle-free as possible.
- We both have a number of professional industry certifications and accreditations, for example with The Property Ombudsman.
- Both of us are independent estate agencies offering a tailored, highly personalised, end-to-end service. To Avon and to us, no customer is just a number or sales target, but an individual who deserves to be treated as such.
- Both of us offer an extensive range of properties on the local market and use some of the latest industry technology in our work.
But where we differ is that, while we have a physical location in the heart of Salisbury, meaning people can pop in and talk to us in person, Avon is fully online. Equally, while the agency focuses on rentals, we also offer sales to help people buying their dreaming home or selling a property.
So we believe our acquisition will broaden out what Avon offers while strengthening our brand and local presence, so that all our customers will benefit in the long term.
What happens next?
While Avon’s present website will remain online in its current form for a while, in due course a message will be added to say the agency is now under the Carter & May banner, before, eventually, visitors are redirected to our own website.
We should also stress that nothing will change for current and future customers of Carter & May. You’ll still get the same great service from us, whether you’re buying, renting, letting out or selling in Salisbury and around.
With deep roots in our area, we’ve earned our reputation as the number one award-winning estate agency locally, and we look forward to continuing to draw on that experience as we take on the Avon business and continue to go from strength to strength in the future.
We were impressed by Avon’s focus and commitment to what it does, and by the fact that their values were aligned so closely with our own. And we felt the time was right to take the agency forward under our umbrella and that we could do great things with the business while honouring its 20-year history.
We also look forward to continuing to have a strong city-centre presence in Salisbury while covering local areas including the New Forest, Ringwood, Amesbury and more.
