Savills Ireland Named Most Active Real Estate Investments Agency In NI

Property consultants, Savills Ireland, were the most active real estate investments agency in Northern Ireland in 2013, according to Estates Gazette.

The property publication's 'Deals Competition' compiled the number of transactions completed by agents between 1 January and 31 December 2013. Savills headed off competition from Osborne King and BTW Shiells who were 2nd and 3rd respectively.


Commenting on the results, Ben Turtle, Director of Investments at Savills Northern Ireland said: "It was a very busy year for us and I am delighted that our work has been recognised through the Estates Gazette Deals Competition.

"2013 marked a new beginning in the Northern Irish investment market with a significant increase in business and consumer confidence, which led to a wide variety of new purchasers entering the market."

Looking ahead, Turtle expects this momentum to continue: "We are already aware of £100m of stock scheduled to come to market in the first half of the year, and with economic conditions improving, we predict that transactional activity will increase this year with volumes exceeding £200m," he added.
