TWO lucky people from the Launceston area were among those across the Southwest awarded prizes totalling £3,022 by the Experts in Property and its local estate agency offices.

There are almost 70 members of the network throughout Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Bristol, all independent estate agencies in their areas.

In the network’s latest campaign, which ran from May 1 to August 31, all homeowners who invited their local member agency for a property valuation were entered into the draw.

All entries went into a ‘hat’ and the winners were randomly selected by Jo Marshall, the Expert in Property’s office manager on August 31. The winners were informed and presented with their prizes.

A couple from Tregadillett, Launceston won the third prize. Mr and Mrs Pike received £250 and were entered into the draw by View Property, the Launceston agency which valued their four-bedroom detached home in the town in June.

The 2nd prize winning entry was also submitted by the team at View Property after they valued Mr Townsend’s Launceston property.

Mr Townsend was thrilled to receive his prize of £500.
