and Hearty HALE

Murray Patt, Founder of Alexander Knight & Co, says Hale is the perfect location for his accountancy practice – and other businesses to flourish.

I genuinely believe Hale is the best place for any growthoriented business to be located. Certainly, it’s a hotbed of entrepreneurs and a large number of business owners and their professional advisers choose to live here and the surrounding area – including me!

Many of our clients run successful businesses in other parts of Greater Manchester but live in Hale, Bowdon, or Altrincham. They choose to spend their

leisure time here and have their accountants on their doorstep, so they don’t have the hassle of getting into Manchester city centre and all the issues that come with it including: the commute, parking problems, and the unproductive time spent in traffic.

Hale is a major reason why we’re seeing so many business owners switch their accountants from city-centre based firms to ours. Our client base of successful entrepreneurs are all passionate about growing their business and finding the right accountants to help them achieve this, and one that is convenient and accessible.

There’s nowhere handier for locally living entrepreneurs than our Grade A office in Hale with ample free parking. It’s a two minute walk from the local train station and five minutes away from the motorway network and Metrolink. Manchester Airport – with its national train network – is only 15 minutes away too. So even our international clients can easily visit us as well!

Hale is a great place to live and work, and that’s before I’ve even mentioned the huge range of amazing restaurants and bars in the village! I’m always happy to meet up with any company directors for a coffee for some advice or even to discuss Alexander Knight & Co becoming their new accountants.

Every home sale starts with obtaining an accurate understanding of the property’s current market value. Most of the homes we value don’t come to the market in the weeks and months following our visit.

We understand that considering a home move has to start with a valuation of your current property so that you can calculate your budget and see if what you’re looking to buy or what you’re looking to achieve is attainable. So we’re happy to provide you with a free in-person valuation that will enable you to consider your options without there being any commitment and certainly no pressure to place your home on the market.

Likewise, when looking to buy a house, you shouldn’t dismiss a property by making assumptions from photos, videos, or descriptions. See it for yourself. We will make ourselves available at any reasonable time of day or early evening, any day of the week to show you the properties we are marketing in-person.

Our clients understand that they need to make their property available for viewings at times to suit you, the viewer, and with the right notice will be happy to allow you access when it’s convenient for you.

We’ll be offering a new Customer First approach to estate agency where personal service, responsive communication and being always available takes priority. Simply call the office on 0161 929 8980 to arrange your valuation or viewing in confidence at a time which suits you. If you’d prefer only to speak to Michael Groves or Stuart Howe personally then call or WhatsApp Michael on 07802 941 411 or Stuart on 07932 370 922 for an immediate response.
