A string of flagship deals in Swindon and across Wiltshire helped regional property consultancy Alder King retain its title as the South West’s most active agent for an unprecedented 16th year in succession.

As well as winning the overall title, the firm, which has an office on Swindon’s Kembrey Park, was ranked top in the offices, industrial and investment sectors in what it described as “another barnstorming year of transactional activity”. 

The annual rankings by property publication Estates Gazette present a detailed breakdown by region and sector to show which companies transacted the most deals during the year. The latest offer intriguing evidence of how firms weathered the tumultuous national and global events of 2016.

Alder King Swindon office partner James Gregory, pictured, said: “We’re the only firm in the UK to have won the competition for 16 consecutive years, which is an incredible achievement. 

“Despite the turbulent events of last year, we succeeded once again in delivering many of the region’s largest and most significant transactions, which is something we’re very proud of.”

Among the top deals handled by Alder King’s Swindon office during 2016 were the sale of a four-acre site at Hampton Park West in Melksham to car dealership group Dick Lovett for a flagship Jaguar Land Rover showroom, pictured, the 17,000 sq ft letting at historic Isambard House in Churchward, Swindon, to The Pets at Home Vet Group, and the letting of Avonbridge House in Chippenham to specialised drugs firm Alliance Pharmaceutical – Swindon and Chippenham’s largest office deals respectively. 

James said: “Prospects for 2017 look very encouraging with more high-profile transactions in the pipeline, despite tightening supply in many locations. We look forward to building further on our market-leading position.”
