Nick de Goede has been appointed as Branch Partner and he will lead the charge to secure homes for the growing numbers of buyers and tenants looking to move to the historic market town. The entire team lives in and around Farnham and is renowned for its unparalleled local knowledge of the sought-after town.

Formerly Associate Valuation Director of Charters in Winchester, Nick is now back at work in his former hometown having enjoyed a hugely successful sales career across Surrey. He joins the expert team of local sales, lettings and financial specialists who are tasked with meeting a mammoth call for properties to buy and let in Farnham.

‘There’s never been a more popular time to move to Farnham,’ says Nick. ‘We’re still experiencing an incredible demand for properties that began to surge when people began to relocate from the cities during the pandemic. Our mainline station with trains to London is close to most homes in the town and, with more people returning to the office, it’s made Farnham a very attractive proposition for those who value a good lifestyle in a great location.

‘We’re part of a wonderful community here too – we sponsor Farnham Rugby Club and we know our clients appreciate relationships like this. The branch is always busy thanks to the homehunters who are back to 100% face-to-face viewings and who really value our local knowledge.’

With most properties sold as soon as they’re listed and final offers that often exceed the asking price, Nick’s team is calling for property types to sell and let across price brackets, but 3-bedroom semi-detached and 4-bedroom homes over the £700,000-mark are particularly in demand. Lower Farnham and the villages of Rowledge and Crondall to the north of the town are really in need for a new supply of homes. The catchment area of Weydon School, which was named the top performing state school in The Sunday Times Schools Guide in 2020, is also in high demand by families for properties to rent or buy.

The message from Nick and his team is clear: if you’re thinking of moving and would like to arrange a valuation by an experienced local property specialist, there has never been a better time to talk to Charters. Property prices are continuing to rise in Farnham and you could secure a sale a lot quicker than you might think.
