Pattinson goes World Wide
Monday, June 14, 2010
We are fast approaching our twentieth anniversary as property auctioneers to the North East of England and on the back of the success we have built a very successful National Auction taking our own brand of real estate auctions to the rest of the UK. Our “sell for free” campaign has caused demand to increase beyond our best expectations and we have expanded our personnel and resources to meet that demand.
Over the years we’ve had a steady stream of great international properties coming through our auctions and they have been received very well by our buyers. The “sell for free” campaign has had a major impact on this steady stream turning it into a flood. In response to this I’m pleased to announce the launch of Pattinson Worldwide which is a dedicated website for international property with easy to use search facilities, guides to buying overseas and international property news and features. The site offers a great range of exciting properties from around the world, for example a stunning colonial beach house in the Bahamas, a detached house in the USA with a starting bid of just £4,000 and one I find particularly interesting a 13th Century Chateau in France.
The international property market recently seems to be the source of a constant stream of positive sound bites and statements. For example I’ve noticed a significant increase in the use of words like “growth”, “recovery”, “strength”, “confidence” and in some cases I’ve seen all three in one statement. It seems that wherever you turn the signs of recovery are there and becoming stronger all the time, so is it the right time for the UK buyer to return to the international property market?
In the hope of answering that big question there are two important indicators that seem to be pointing in the right direction. The US economy and the Pound / Euro exchange rate. US President Barack Obama said of the motor industry “the industry is recovering at a pace few thought possible” which was backed up by Ford posting a 2.1 Billion Dollar profit in Q1 of this year and the Euro is at a four year low against the Dollar and an 18 month low against the Great British pound. This is bound to create opportunities for the informed international property buyer and I’m sure you will find Pattinson Worldwide useful.
Maybe you’re looking for that exciting international property investment to compliment your domestic portfolio. Maybe you’re looking for a dream holiday home in the sun. Maybe you want to sell your own overseas property. Maybe you can think of someone else who would like to know about Pattinson Worldwide. Visit our site or call our hotline and speak to one of our international property experts and tell them I sent you.
Yours faithfully,
Keith Pattinson
