Another busy week at Ernest Wilson....

Another great week here at Ernest Wilson with over 1,000 miles covered by myself and plenty of new instructions.

Watching the investment sector recovering has been particularly interesting and with interest rates set to remain low for the foreseeable future, it's no surpise. I have just put an investment property in Leeds on the market for clients at £150,000 with a rental income of £12,000 this year rising to £15,000 for the next two years which represents a yield of 9.3% over the three year period.

If you're looking to make your money work harder why not contact me to discuss this and other investment properties currently for sale? Telephone me on 0113 238 2900 or email me.

Thinking of Selling your business?

The Ernest Wilson diaries are becoming very busy indeed which is unusual at this time of year, as the first quarter of the year is generally the busiest for new instructions and this year saw large numbers coming to the market during that vital first quarter. Although, perhaps many business owners had been holding out during 2009 for the General Election and given the result (or rather, the lack of result) have decided to just get on and place their business on the much improved market.

At Ernest Wilson we have certainly noticed a substantial increase in the activity of the market, particularly with regards to viewings and subsequent offers so it's a great comfort that there are many new businesses for sale on the Ernest Wilson website.

If you wish to place your business on the market or you are thinking of doing so and would like a free, no obligation valuation, please do not hesitate to contact me on 0113 238 2900 or by email.

Ernest Wilson Bank Holiday Activity

After another bank holiday weekend, I thought it might be interesting to share some statistics with you from our website. Over the bank holiday, the average number of pages viewed on the Ernest Wilson website was up by almost 26% whilst the time each visitor spent on our website also rose accordingly. Both of which is encouraging news not only for sellers, but also the economy in general as an active market shows that those "Green Shoots" are beginning to flourish.

I've been out of the office almost all of today valuing businesses but understand from colleagues that it's been a super day for viewings and offers received for businesses we are currently marketing for sale.
