WITH 33 years experience in the Corby property market, Jim Yates is all too aware of the importance not only of in-depth local knowledge but also of the need to adapt and respond to a changing society.
His profile at the forefront of his business, built through working with clients who have known him since he started working in Corby in 1983, means that Yates is a name known across North Northamptonshire and South Leicestershire.
Working closely with him within the commercial property department at Yates, is Magda Ocetek, who has been with the firm for four years and who has built an excellent working relationship with Yates’ increasing portfolio of clients from Poland and other Eastern European companies.
Jim Yates said: “We’ve seen a vast increase in people coming here from Eastern Europe, setting up in the Corby area and renting or buying houses from us. As they get established, many are looking for business premises, and so they come back to Yates because they know and trust us.
“They appreciate the fact that Magda can not only help them to find the right property and the right deal, but also has the language skills to help them when they need it.
“Because we do everything from domestic sales and lettings to commercial property work, and our town centre office means that we have a presence right in the heart of the community, which benefits our clients who have easy access to the services they need.”
A number of recent lettings include a retail unit at 115 Rockingham Road, Corby, another on Elizabeth Street in Corby town centre, and two large industrial units on Princewood Road.
Currently available through Yates are three separate retail units in Adam and Eve Street in the centre of Market Harborough and a ground floor A2 unit on Rockingham Road, Corby.
