00:00So we're here at Halls Wellington, brand new Worm Estate agents, and who've we got?

00:04Go on boss, what's your name?

00:05It's Matt.

00:06You're a stork manager here?

00:07Branch manager.

00:08Branch manager.

00:09And go on sir?

00:10John Quinn, managing director at Halls.

00:11And you've got me.

00:12Well if we don't know who this bloke is then, you know, fresh from a Beverley Night gig.

00:17If it wasn't on before, it's going to be officially up.

00:23It's going to be officially over the dog, cool.

00:25Right, shall we do the honours then?

00:26Go on then.

00:28Three, two, one.

00:31Whey!

00:33Bully, bully.

00:34Nice one Steve, nice one.

00:36Cheers Steve.

00:37Thank you Steve.

00:38So you're a branch manager sir?

00:40Yes indeed.

00:41And how many offices have Halls got now?

00:43We've got nine offices.

00:44Nine offices to Rage, Robshire and into Worcestershire as well.

00:47Is it the first time you've been in Wellington or?

00:50So we've been in Wellington before, about 30, 40 years ago now.

00:54But good to be back.

00:55Obviously Telford is a town that's thriving, coming on all the time.

00:58Lots of new properties getting built.

01:00There's definitely a gap in the market for an agent.

01:02It's all encompassing and multifaceted.

01:04And what are people generally after in Shropshire?

01:06There was a point just after Covid where there were people kind of relocating from the cities,

01:11weren't there, to somewhere a bit more rural?

01:13And are we still getting a bit of that?

01:14We're still getting a bit of that.

01:15But one thing we're getting in Telford is a lot of people from Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton.

01:18You get a bit more value for money in comparison to those areas.

01:22So we're pulling people over there with the cost of living crisis the way it is at the moment.

01:26There's people coming from more affluent areas into Telford.

01:28So they still get the same property they had before,

01:30but obviously have a lesser mortgage than they did in the past in those areas.

01:34And in terms of Labour being in power now, more houses being built and so on,

01:39what are you thinking?

01:40Are you seeing any difference?

01:42I certainly think it's going to be good from a planning aspect.

01:45I think more houses are going to get built.

01:46I think the housing crisis is going to be eased somewhat by Labour being in government.

01:51It's just a case of obviously delivering on their promises now.

01:53Great stuff.

01:54Well, good luck in the new offices.

01:56Thank you very much.

01:57Tom over there, have you seen him?

01:58No, let's have a look.

01:59I'm holding Tom over.

02:00Holding someone.

02:02Holding someone.

02:08Watto boots, Watto trainers.
