Bob Jones-Prytherch and Co. officially opened a new residential estate agency office in Narberth on Wednesday.

Bob Jones-Prytherch commenced operations approximately three years ago from one residential office and the new office in Narberth now brings the total to five, other offices being in Llandeilo, Carmarthen, St. Clears and Haverfordwest.

One of the fastest growing estate agency businesses in West Wales, the new Narberth office will complement the strategic placement of offices along the A40 corridor.

Area director in overall charge of the Narberth office will be Mr. I. A. R. Jones, B.Sc. MRICS, FAAV. With over 12 years experience as a qualified chartered surveyor, he specialises in works relating to agricultural and commercial valuations and compensation claims.

Housing sales will be dealt with by Cecilia Sykes, who, after 20 years in dairy farming, became, in 1984, involved in estate agency, holding managerial positions at Halifax in Fishguard and Haverfordwest. She joined Bob Jones-Prytherch two years ago.

The day to day running of the office will be in the hands of Karen Williams, who will be the sales negotiator.

Karen, who has extensive rural and agricultural knowledge after 11 years in dairy management and six years in a successful butchery business, is a keen member of many countryside organisations and joined the staff of Bob Jones-Prytherch last year.

They will also be assisted by Mr. E. A. R. Jones, FRICS, FAAVe; who will be available for consultation on all professional property aspects, including valuation for mortgages, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and compulsory purchase.

The tastefully presented sales area is fully computerised, with a state-of-the-art computer system which has been tried and tested in the firm's other residential estate agency offices for the last three years.

The system fully integrates and matches buyers to purchasers and has been a resounding success.

In addition to opening the Narberth office, the firm has also established a specialist rating department and, in conjunction with Landsker Services, a full letting and property management consultancy.

This will continue to operate under the banner of Landsker Property Services with John Davies, who is well known in the Narberth area, undertaking this work as before.

In recognition of the opening of their Narberth office, the firm is also providing a heavily discounted sales promotion, with the first 30 properties listed in the Narberth office receiving exceptional commission rates on the sale of their properties, with vast savings available.
