My St Margarets

Sushi Saturdays

The St Margarets Traders Association is delighted to announce the opening of a new Sushi stall in St Margarets. Starting this Saturday 18^th February local resident Eddie Holmes will be running a sushi stall on the paved area outside Armstrongs Butchers in St Margarets Road. Operating from 10am to 2pm.

Eddie comments:

I’ve been in the Sushi business for years, I used to be the head chef at YO! Sushi in its very early days. I’ve been selling sushi at the Crown road fairs for several years now and so know how popular fresh sushi is in St Margarets. All of the sushi is hand made fresh at the stall, we use the finest Scottish salmon and only responsibly fished yellow fin tuna. We will have a full range of sushi so you can pick individual items or pick up ready to go lunch boxes from £5.00 we also do event catering and can deliver party platters. I’m looking forward to serving you sushi — this Saturday and every Saturday in St Margarets. Please come and have a look.

Eddie’s stall is fully licenced by Richmond council. The St Margarets Traders Association have been working with Eddie and Richmond council to introduce this initiative to St Margarets. We are also hoping to expand the offer to include fresh fish. Any enquires please contact traders@mystmargarets.com

A 2012 Market Update from Chase Buchanan

We ended 2011 with on a very successful note, having gained a proven 40% market share in TW1 and have had consistent growth across the Borough to Hampton Hill where we are now showing a 30% market share according to findaproperty.co.uk.

Despite the troubled world economy it appears that certain pockets of London and the southern counties remain buoyant and unaffected by the price depreciation elsewhere in the UK. The Richmond Borough is evidently in a league of its own.

We have had a fantastic start to 2012 and we have received a consistently high numbers of new buyers looking to move into the area. However, stock levels are still low in comparison to demand and are subsequently keeping prices strong.

We were instructed to sell more than double the amount of properties than any other agent in TW1 during January. Therefore, we have the best selection of fresh new buyers hoping to move within the next few months. We have agreed several sales following multiple bids and some sales have been agreed over asking price. This is a very promising start to 2012 and good news for local homeowners.

The demand for buy to let investments is expected to grow over the course of the year, as rental prices continue to grow and the returns are much higher than interest rates plus they offer the potential of capital growth as well. Chase Buchanan continue to provide the best advice and service possible across the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
