Happy New Year

From all the team here at Peter Martin we give thanks to everyone that has supported us over the last year. It has been a challenging year for all, both with the health challenges the COVID 19 has presented but also the financial hardships that have hit so many in the United Kingdom.

Even through this trying time we have kept our doors open at Peter Martin and have been working very hard to ensure the happiness of our tenants, the satisfaction of our landlords and the growth and quality of the service we offer.

Through hard work and with good fortune, over the course of 2020 we have expanded those within our care to 322 tenants across 228 properties with the majority under full management. This is an increase from 147 properties this time last year and we look forward to providing our award winning service to more in 2021.

This year has also marked our commitment to communication with both yourself and the North West London community, through endeavors such as launching this newsletter, upgrades to our website features as well as a consistent presence on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram & LinkedIN. We would also want to take this moment to thank those of you who have given us a review on Google helping us to be listed as one of the top ranked letting agents in NW11.

 

"2020 has been a busy year, both from the 55% growth of our managed properties & providing service during this COVID Period.

We are looking to uphold our desire to improve and provide the service you deserve into 2021 through the ongoing pandemic"

Peter Martin, Director
