BORRON SHAW is celebrating its 38th anniversary – and there is much to celebrate for the estate agency with a new branch opening here in St Helens.

It will be office number four for the independent group, which has established branches operating in Orrell, Hindley and Wigan.

Directors Steve Ball and Steve Tickle say that St Helens is an important market for Borron Shaw.

“We have always had a presence in St Helens but our team has previously been based in our Orrell office,” they say.

“We see a great chance for buyers to explore the enormous possibilities in the property market across St Helens, particularly with the Borron Shaw difference.

“With St Helens enjoying something of a resurgence recently, we would like to reaffirm our commitment to the area.

“We already have an expanding portfolio of properties and, as St Helens is such a busy market, we are confident of growing that significantly in the future.”

St Helens home owners have seen the value of their property climb by an average of £4,270 during the first half of 2015 (January to July), according to the Zoopla area guide, meaning that a typical property is now worth £131,911 (Zed-Index).
