f you have passed along Great Western Road since June, you will no doubt have noticed a bright new look for Westways, the leading W9 estate agent which has occupied the site on the corner of Fermoy Road since 1958. We enlisted the help of Cool Square to redesign the iconic W logo and introduce a bold new colour scheme. The website westways.co.uk and our office have all undergone facelifts with new branding and the response from our clients and the local community has been overwhelmingly positive. As an independent agent we know that we need to play to our strengths in this competitive market. At Westways we do that by setting the very highest standards for customer service, transparency and continuity that comes from our staff ’s decades of experience in selling and managing properties in this area. Our aim is to disrupt the trend of large multi branch agencies which dominate the high street without real understanding of their local market and community.

he market in the past month has seen a sharp rise in activity in lettings as the national press continues to report a cooling of the sales market across London and the UK. Landlords are now enjoying healthy rental rises and more activity as more applicants look to rent than buy in the current climate where lending is becoming increasingly difficult. Notting Hill still remains one of the prime rental spots in London, offering large period houses on garden squares along with smaller two and three bed apartments for professional sharers.
