Leicestershire home buyers are happy customers

As well as picking up the keys to their new Leicestershire home, Dave and Pat Bennett got an extra surprise when they moved with estate agent Harrison Murray – a £2,000 luxury holiday.

The couple won the Thomas Cook holiday vouchers after choosing Harrison Murray’s Wigston branch to sell their existing home, becoming eligible for entry into a free prize draw.

All sellers who instructed one of Harrison Murray’s 18 branches between 1 September 2010 and 30 November 2010 were automatically entered into the draw, and the Bennett’s name came out of the hat.

The vouchers were presented to the couple at the Wigston office by Harrison Murray branch partner Jennie Andrews and managing director Nick Salmon.

"It was a brilliant move. Harrison Murray got a viewing straight away and we sold in just 29 days," said Pat. "I cannot believe how stress-free it has been."

Dave added: "We sold through Harrison Murray because we saw they had the place we wanted to buy in the local paper, which we went on to buy. Harrison Murray's ads are always well presented and make you want to stop and look at them."

Jennie added: "Mr and Mrs Bennett were motivated sellers who listened to our advice and worked with us as we negotiated a chain of three in order for the Bennetts to secure the bungalow they had set their sights on. It helped that Harrison Murray's recommended solicitors acted on their behalf in their sale and purchase, which went through swiftly and smoothly."

Harrison Murray's managing director, Nick Salmon said, "It has been a pleasure to hear how highly these clients regard the Wigston team and we wish them a splendid holiday - once they have finished unpacking in their new home!"
