A local couple from Cadishead has won a £5,000 windfall after listing their property with hybrid estate agency Purplebricks.
Colin and Gillian Bannister listed their property on 16 December 2015 for £135,000.
They were automatically entered into the competition and were delighted to be named as one of three sellers to win the prize draw, starting the New Year with a bang.
Mr and Mrs Bannister now plan to spend the money on a wood burner for their new home to keep the chills at bay during the rest of the cold months.
Paul Vickerstaff from Purplebricks presented the cheque in person on Saturday.
Colin and Gillian said: “We decided to list our property through Purplebricks after seeing the adverts on TV. We wanted to try something new and save money in the process.
“We were delighted with the service and this win has added to our New Year cheer. We’re excited to make the most of this windfall!”
Purplebricks’ Regional Director Paul Vickerstaff said: “More and more people want to buy and sell properties at times that are convenient for them.
“They don’t want to be limited by working hours, however they do still want the knowledge and support that comes with having an expert on hand.
“The fact that Mr and Mrs Bannister listed their property over the festive period, which has historically been a quiet time for traditional agents, proves this to be the case.
“We’re thrilled to be able to reward the Bannisters with this prize and wish them the best in their new home.”
