Connells has made the bold claim that its 180-branch network has won the largest share of new instructions within the sales market during the first six months of 2019.
The company has published an intriguing graph that appears to compare itself to Countrywide and Purplebricks, placing Connells in No.1 position with over 5% of all new instructions behind Countrywide with 4.5% and Purplebricks with 4%.
The claims are made by Connells following its initial results for the year using data provided by Rightmove which, it claims, proves the business is ahead of the group’s “key competitors”. It also claims to be the most profitable national estate agency, generating profits of £26.2 million so far this year. putting Connells on track to equal its full-year profits of £56.9 million for 2018.
The company also says it sold 66,000 properties during 2018, more than any other estate agent.
“By combining traditional high street estate agency with the best people in the industry and the latest digital technologies, we are delivering both a great service to our customers and an environment for our branch teams to stand out from their competitors,” says Connells Group CEO David Plumtree (left).
“Our clear and sustained market leadership shows that this is what the customer values.”
The claims made by Connells follow Countrywide’s assertion earlier this week that the PLC has regained its position as No.1 estate agent in the UK by sales market share, rather than instruction.
