Britain’s First Drive Thru-Estate Agent!?

We couldn’t quite believe it either, but this fascinating article from Estate Agent Today has explained a new way of marketing…

”An estate agency in Cornwall has opened on the site of a former filling station and allows people to drive up, take property brochures, and go – the agency version of a drive-thru burger bar or coffee shop.

MPH Legal & Estate Agents has been set up in Millbrook,Cornwall by solicitor Martin Hobbs.

“It seemed wrong for the filling station to sit empty, so we looked at ways we might revitalize it and it struck me as the perfect place for an upmarket estate agency” Hobbs told the Western Evening Herald newspaper.

The pumps have been removed and the forecourt landscaped to include a traditional parking area for those wishing to stop to discuss property matters in the office, as well as the drive-thru section.

“We’ll have benches out here in the summer everyone walks past here and it’s already quite social with people popping in.”

The agency has been formally opened by the local MP and Hobbs says it has been welcomed by the local residential and business communities.”

Is Bournemouth ready for the drive through Estate Agent?
