Wolton enters commercial property market

The new division - Wolton Commercial - is being overseen by managing director Steve Wright who said: "We have been pressed for some time by our main clients to provide this service. They have all been very impressed with the service they receive from our residential team and undoubtedly there is a niche in the market for a high quality commercial valuation

service."

Former regional operations manager Matthew Morgan has been promoted to commercial operations director. Matthew has considerable commercial valuation experience and is keen to ensure that the whole valuation process is as streamlined as possible and that the quality of reporting is second to none.

Gill Hall, formerly of Allied Surveyors has been newly appointed as business development director. Gill has over 20 years' experience working in all areas of the mortgage industry and brings with her a wealth of knowledge in both the residential and commercial property markets.

Matthew said: "I am delighted to be working with Gill and I am sure that together we will make a big impact on the commercial surveying market."

Wolton Commercial will provide the same high standards and quality already associated with Wolton Chartered Surveyors. Gill said: "We intend to develop our commercial surveying division based on the needs of our customers. We will provide good quality reporting combined with a fast and reliable service."

Lending to the commercial property market has soared over the last year or so with demand for commercial property at an all time high. Wolton Commercial therefore plans to offer a fully comprehensive valuation service to assist Lenders, Brokers and Packagers operating in this highly changing and competitive market.

Gill added: "In such a highly competitive market, the valuation process needs to be fast and reliable. We will provide a highly professional service to our clients so as to give the best possible support to them and their customers."
