Pearson Estate Agents in Winchester
Pearsons estate agents in Winchester are based at 3 Southgate Street.
They have been in the news recently after they assisted a customer to sell a garage in the city centre for a figure of more than £40,000.
The sum may seem incredibly high but it does indicate the value that is being put on parking spaces in Winchester city centre. The original street layout dates back to Roman times and, as is the case in many historic UK cities and towns, the road network was not designed to deal with the amount of traffic found on today's roads.
Estate agents in Winchester have been able to market garages successfully, with many local residents looking to find valuable spaces for their cars. Most areas that are within a 10 minute walk of the city centre rely on permit parking schemes, arranged by Winchester City Council.
In a statement on the Pearsons Winchester website it is suggested that part of the reason for parking pressures is that the city council have ensured that re-developed sites only have as many parking permit spaces as the previous properties that they replaced.
With such parking pressures it is no wonder that a review of Winchester estate agents websites shows that a premium is being placed on flats and houses that come with off-street parking (or garages) provided as part of the property that has been placed on the market.
