A Plymouth estate agency is celebrating a decade in business and the Plymstock area of the city becoming a property hotspot.

Julian Marks Estate Agents, which has offices in Plymstock and Plympton, has been the top performing agent in Plymstock and the surrounding PL9 area for nine consecutive years, according to data collected by Rightmove and Zoopla.

Over a 12 month period from May 1, 2020, to May 1, 2021, the Julian Marks Plymstock office sold more properties priced more than £200,000 than any other estate agency office throughout Plymouth. The firm’s Plympton office, only two years-old, has already become the top selling office in PL7.

Director Julian Partridge said: “We are passionate about property and our ethos is always to have the best people who provide the best possible service. This approach ensures our business stands the test of time, even in challenging markets.

“We feel privileged that families have chosen us - sometimes several times – to move them. They are customers for life and now their sons and daughters are coming to us too.”

Founded in 2011, the firm was established by directors Julian Partridge and Mark Flynn following their respective careers with corporate agents.

Mr Flynn said: “Having worked for corporate agencies, we wanted the opportunity to do it our way. From day one, we put service at the core of our offer and that drove our passion to build an independent agency with a difference.”

Ten years on, Julian Marks boards can be seen not only throughout Plymstock and Plympton but also, increasingly, across the city. More than 16 staff are now employed across the two offices.
