Igomove Estate agency expands into County Durham North

Helen Archer will lead the latest branch of a hybrid agency that prides itself on delivering a ‘more personal service at a fair fixed price.

This includes a special introductory fee of £449 including VAT which is around half Igomove’s normal fee for selling a house.

Helen and the team will focus on Durham city and the surrounding villages as part of Igomove’s expansion.

It is an area Helen, originally brought up on a farm in Whickham, Tyne and Wear, knows well having spent most of her adult life living there, so she is looking to put her local knowledge to good use.

“It’s extremely exciting,” said Helen. “I have always had an interest in property and property developing, so this is an opportunity that appealed to me. It is also a fantastic opportunity to run my own business at a forward-thinking estate agency that has a proven track record from its first few years in business.

“I have lived in and around the Durham area for 17 years now. My children have grown up there and I’m hoping that a familiar face will be someone people can trust.”

Helen spent time in Bristol running a marquee hire company and in the North-East concentrating on property developing in Durham. She also spent six months in New Zealand before returning to live in a self-build home in Satley, Co. Durham.

She said: “It’s a little village up the hill from Lanchester and down from Tow Law. I now live in another village halfway between Durham and Chester-le-Street just off the A167 and that is the area I will be focused on with Igomove.”
