“With an inaudibly quiet start to the year, the market jolted into action in Q2 and simply hasn't slowed. There has been hardly a moment to draw breath in our Turnham Green Terrace office; an influx of Chiswick buyers has breathed life back into the market with well over half of our agreed sales going under offer to W4 locals. There is no one type of property that is selling. Nearly every property we've listed for sale – from pied à terres on the High Road to forever family homes - has found itself swiftly under offer. A picture perfect Edwardian house in Strand on the Green was agreed for sale above the asking price within 48 hours of hitting the open market, a beautiful Beverley Court apartment found itself under offer above the asking price within 5 days of marketing and 3 riverside homes went under offer within a fortnight. We launched a Grade II listed Grove Park house in Quarter 2 and achieved a phenomenal result for our clients within just two weeks of marketing; the house had previously been listed for sale with one of our competitors for 8 long months.

Yes, there is momentum in the Chiswick property market: we're proud to announce that 94% of our Q2 listings are now Agreed Sales with over half of our properties going under offer either at their asking prices or above. The remainder of our Q2 sales were agreed at a whisker under their asking prices with two out of three properties agreed for sale within a week of hitting the open market. However, other local agencies can't say the same. Despite keeping a client list that's a fraction of the size of our 40 odd competitors in Chiswick, we're streets ahead. In just two years of trading, Horton and Garton is firmly in the top three agencies in Chiswick for sales agreed in 2019 according to Rightmove.

Property isn't – and should never be – a volume business. At Horton and Garton, each home is one of a small, select portfolio; this allows us to fully focus on every home we list for sale and subsequently secure exceptional results. Having sold over 450 properties in Chiswick, our team knows W4. If you're after a considered, intelligent approach to your property, I'd be delighted to act as your personal agent. We'll tailor our strategy to your requirements and property. We know every patch of Chiswick and would be delighted to put you first.
