The country is coming to Chelsea next week at The Move to the Country show. The show is an opportunity for Londoners to meet country agents and discuss their plans to move out of the capital. A broad spectrum of properties, from country estates to cottages, will be available.
Bob Bickersteth, Director of The London Office explains: 'Following the success of last year's exhibition, we will once again be hosting The Move to the Country Show, which is for those who are inquisitive about moving to the country, investing in property outside the capital or simply looking for a different lifestyle. We have noticed a greater emphasis on buyers revaluating their priorities: they are taking advantage of the price differential between London and the country in order to afford a better quality of life for their families. Partners from our country offices will be available to answer questions about local schools, pubs, sporting facilities, rental income, commuting times etc. The event is now in its fourth year and, from the initial response, we expect a high attendance.'
George Franks, Area Director of joint-organisers Douglas & Gordon comments: 'This is the perfect opportunity to explore the country without leaving central London. Looking for the right country property, whilst living in London, can be an arduous process; The Move to the Country Show saves prospective buyers precious time, as it is a unique opportunity to speak to local experts without the legwork. Equally, members of Douglas & Gordon's staff will be there to provide help and advice on London properties.
Details: Tuesday, April 27 from 2pm to 7pm in the Main Hall, Chelsea Old Town Hall, King's Road, SW3 5EE FREE ADMISSION
