Collins & Collins first and foremost, being an Estate Agency Office the sale of Property is obviously our main consideration with a spacious new ground floor office located in the heart of Newry's pedestrian precinct, we are ideally located to take advantage of local passing trade and indeed the influx of southern visitors who continually visit our premises.
The sale of ones home can be a very stressful time for the person selling. We try to take the stress away by devoting our time totally to the property sale by to insure a speedy and successful result. We find it is important to continually liase with the client keeping them updated with regard to viewings and bids on the property. With regards to viewings all our viewings are accompanied by one of our experienced sale team.
Viewings can be done at any time to accommodate prospective purchasers, including outside of office hours(only with owners permission and prior notice). With Newry now having acquired City status and with the influx of the many multinational stores, the demand for commercial property has increased in recent times. We have found ourselves in the cutting edge where we have successfully negotiated some land mark deals in this particular field.
With a background in agriculture Mr Collins personally takes responsibility for land sales and lettings. Having worked closely with farmers in South Down and South Armagh over the years the office has established a strong rapport with them. Land sales in most cases have exceeded current valuations and indeed in some cases record prices per acre have been achieved. With this specialized background the office will continue to offer its expert service to the farmers of the area consulting with them and advising whether private or public conclusion would be most suitable to their particular requirements. Consult our website to view a wide selection of sites in counties Newry & Armagh.
Over the years we have worked with Law firms and individuals providing professional property valuations. This may be done for many reasons e.g Marriage dissolution, Bank requirements, Capital gains tax, Assessment etc.Essentially however most of our valuations are solely to inform the owners of the current valuation of their properties. Where the properties are being offered for sale our valuations service is offered free. With the continuing development by the D.O.E of new and improved roads and services, Compulsory purchase is very much part of life in Northern Ireland. To the individual landowners in question, Compulsory Purchase can be a harrowing experience with, for example, new roads crossing through whole farms. For existing owners to achieve a fair and equitable price for their lands we can professionally represent them in claims against the D.O.E. Whilst we attend all public meetings, make representations to the relevant authorities and have a thorough understanding of the ongoing process we work in conjunction with the owners to try and establish a successful outcome. No doubt our specialized services in this particular field will continue to be well used considerably in the future.
Collins & Collins successful planning application rate (We have made the most number of planning applications in Northern Ireland), it follows that our architectural department is continually kept busy undertaking new building projects. After years of drawing new house types and supervising the construction through to completion the drawing studio not only built by a wealth of experience, but now has at the touch of a button a vast array of various house types. Once gained outline planning permission for a client the department then works with the client, considering their requirements and pulling an effective full planning application together finely having their needs to suit D.O.E requirements.
A similar process is undertaken for development sites. However much more detail is involved with the end result to maximise client profitability.
In this case there are two main areas to consider:
Through the process from planning to sale we maintain constant supervision and liase with the relevant authorities.
