A NAME synonymous with Warrington has been behind most of the office and industrial property lettings in the past year.

Altus Eileen Bilton concluded almost 30 per cent more deals than any other agent and in the industrial sector along, the company concluded 70 per cent more deals than the next most active agent.

Eileen Bilton became a household name in the 1970s during the new town boom.

Colin Cawley, at Altus Eileen Bilton, said: “This was again a fantastic year for both Altus Eileen Bilton and Warrington.

“Warrington is going from strength to strength having faired the recession well. It continues to be seen as an excellent place to invest in, with this economic confidence reflected in its property market.

“Eileen Bilton is synonymous with Warrington and has been part of the town’s success for many years since the inception of Warrington New Town.

“Today we continue to work hard for clients delivering excellent results in both Warrington and the wider regions.

“Since becoming part of the Altus Group in 2013 we are able to offer clients an enhanced service, including greater exposure for their properties alongside a full property advisory service, including advice on reducing business rates, landlord and tenant related issues, capital allowances and dilapidations.

“Looking toward the rest of this 2014 and ahead we strongly believe Warrington remains a sound place to invest and do business in and we look forward to continuing to deliver best-in-class results for all our clients.”
