---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE STORY OF TWO EXPANDING BUSINESSES IN THE SAME VILLAGE!! - NOVEMBER 2011 The coastal village of Westward Ho! is the location for two recent commercial transactions concluded by commercial agents JD Commercial. The two transactions occurred only a few metres away from each other, the first being the sale of Lucifers Hairdressers and the second being the letting of a shop premises opposite the Co-Operative supermarket. Lucifers has been sold to Sam Foreman who also operates Sam’s Nail and Beauty next door to the hairdressers, so now clients of hers can leave with a new hair style as well as being pampered with the extensive beauty treatments on offer. The other business expanding in the village is that of Taylors Hardware who have taken a second shop unit which will stock even more products and lines than the currently comprehensively stocked premises. James Doble from JD Commercial commented “that despite the continued doom and gloom in the press many businesses are still performing well, some to such an extent that expansion is required. We have dealt with many companies and businesses throughout the year were transactions have been concluded because they need more space to grow.” JD Commercial offer a free no obligation market appraisal for those that are considering a sale or letting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HARBOURSIDE GENERAL CONVENIENCE STORE - NOVEMBER 2011

In the business premises sector a number of lettings were concluded on behalf of local Landlords including Allhalland Street in Bideford and Belle Vue in Bude. The most noticeable letting is that in Barnstaple to Johnson and Leyland Paints who took part of the former Speedy Hire premises on Eastern Avenue, adjacent to McDonalds and Lidl. James Doble from the agents commented “that the successful end to 2010 seems to have been carried forward into the beginning of 2011 with higher enquiry levels as well as a number of businesses having been agreed, including two well known restaurants in North Devon, a former school building, a leisure park and an Exmoor Inn”. He goes onto say that often the key to a successful sale “is straight forward, honest and correct advice from the outset, which is what we offer from day one when we meet a client to provide them with a market appraisal, which incidentally comes at no cost to them!” For all your commercial property needs, throughout the Westcountry, JD Commercial can be contacted on 01237 424053. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REFURBISHED TOWN CENTRE LOUNGE BAR WITH EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE QUOTING PRICE! - JANUARY 2011
