F all the TV programmes about buying houses has taught us one thing its that we need to be aspirational. Its not enough that a future home has plenty of bedrooms to go around, has somewhere off the road to park the car and possesses plenty of storage space in which to hoard the household clutter, it also has to go that extra mile. People today want more than just bricks and mortar. They may not get it, or even be able to afford it, but thanks largely to the wonder of the Location, Location, Location partnership that is Kirstie Allsop and Phil Spencer, they want more for their money. Whether its a kitchen big enough to host a small dinner and dance, has views to sigh for, a heartshaped swiming pool in the basement or a sulking house in the shrubbery, what most of us are looking for, above all else in a new home, is that indefinable element the wow factor. The Grove at 8 Avenue Road, Malvern, certainly has it and in spades. Its a Gothic revival mansion in a conservation area and surprisingly, even given its history, it remains unlisted. Built in 1867, the house was designed by the eminent Victorian architect EW Elmslie for his own occupation but soon afterwards he sold it to Malverns distinguished water cure doctor Archibald Weir, who added a billiard room. For 60 years The Grove was part of

can be directly attributed to the companys use of innovative communications technique harnessed to effectively market landlords properties, while extending and developing the business into new market segments through our new product development strategy. These have included: the launch of a new social media strategy and pet friendly policy, a brand re-fresh and the development of a property doctor service which provides trouble shooting tips as well as search and selection advice for landlords. Mrs Williams said: We were delighted to have improved on last years achievement when we were shortlisted in the same category. The positive feedback that we received from the judges has been truly inspirational and was along the lines of the new owners have worked hard to give this agency an easily recognised and fun image. The success of this venture was measured by analytics turnover and profit has increased along with market share and this agency should be very proud of itself we are indeed. Our continued growth and success against a backdrop of financial uncertainty speaks volumes. We are in the enviable position of being able to invest and devote resources to marketing which other local agents will struggle to match. This has undoubtedly contributed to our success in the awards.
