The business world thrives in London. The highrise offices, the bustling streets and innovative ideas that pour out of the capital are some of the many reasons why tens of thousands move towards it each year. However, while the city may be the perfect place for many careers to take off and grow, it is not always where people want to spend their lives.
For some, they crave the quieter, more peaceful, rural lifestyle that you can only get outside of London. To get the best of both worlds, you need to be property hunting in towns that offer an easy commute. This way you can make the most of the quaint countryside while travelling when you need to.
As Guildford Estate Agents, Seymours are well versed with the opportunities that lie in Surrey. Just a stone’s throw from the busy cities, Surrey is known for its practical public transport links and access to both sides of life. For those that want the quiet life away from much else, you have the North and South Downs to escape to. But for those that want a bit of everything, the many beautiful Surrey towns have it all.
Surrey Born and Bred
The team at Seymours are born and bred in the county. They have sold, let and managed thousands of properties within Surrey and only operate out of the local area. It is because of this that they are now able to offer the best advice to homeowners and property hunters when it comes to commuting.
Even growing up, the agents are experienced with local businesses, mortgage brokers and even public transport. This means that whoever you are in contact with, can point you in the right direction depending on where you work in the city.
Sales director for their Guildford branch, Simon Kelso mentions that Guildford in particular –
“has excellent road and rail links. We are lucky to have two railway stations in town, Guildford London Road and mainline stations have fast and frequent services to London Waterloo in as little as 38 minutes and the A3 provides access to London and the south coast and via the M25 to Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.”
Moving home is stressful and you want to rely on surveyors, advisors and estate agents to help smoothen out the whole process. Not only that, they should be able to help you make the most fitting decision whether you’re buying, selling or renting.
Local knowledge is one of the top skills for high-end estate agents. It is what makes each Seymours branch reliable and trustworthy. Not only can they answer your specific questions and offer advice on which towns to research, but they can give you the information you didn’t know you needed.
Things like nearby playgrounds, the best takeaways and local seasonal events are all things you tend to learn as you go. But Seymours are way ahead – they all live in the area and understand the little things that will make it feel like home.
Branches All Over The County
Seymours has 20 offices dedicated to the county of Surrey. Every single one of them is located in an area that offers quick access to public transport all the way to London.
For example, Guildford, Dorking, Godalming, Woking & Haslemere all offer direct access to Waterloo in under 40 minutes as Simon mentioned. This means you’re limiting travel time so that you can maximise your days – being as productive as possible.
It also allows you to better enjoy the local scenery, events and community provided to you when you buy or let through a Surrey Seymours branch. Not only that, but homes outside of the city are considerably cheaper as one of Seymours’ employees mentioned –
“Anyone working inside of London usually misses the greenery and peacefulness of rural areas. But the main concern when moving is house prices. You’ll get a lot more for your money in places like Guildford or Ripley than you will in London. It’s a win-win in our eyes!”
Honesty is a key value for the agents. They’ll listen to your requirements, needs and budgets and give you honest and open advice about what you can afford. They keep all of their processes simple and transparent and you can be sure that you won’t get caught out by jargon or fine print!
If they love it enough to set up branches covering the county and live there themselves – they must have the expert capabilities to promote its benefits for commuters. Looking for a new home in Surrey? Contact one of the Seymours Estates offices today.
