Saturday 19^th November was Halesworth’s annual Christmas Lights switch-on.

The event is organised and run by Durrants’ very own Mother Christmas, Teresa Walsh.

The evening saw the Leiston Royal British Legion band lead Father Christmas and the parade through the packed streets. The lights were turned on, as is tradition, outside our Durrants Halesworth office to much applause and cheering.

A huge thank you from Durrants to Teresa and all the team for all their hard work and effort in making the evening such a success.

Gabrielle Wones has recently joined Durrants as Assistant Manager in our Halesworth branch.

Gabi entered estate agency after a career change and has worked successfully at a senior level for a number of corporate and independent local estate agents before joining the team at Durrants in May this year.

She said: “I love piecing the puzzle together for someone who is making a move. I love the fact that people who are moving all have different circumstances as to why they are moving, whether it’s a new start or a new baby, and adapting to their requirements.”

Halesworth is very much a growth area for Durrants right now. Gabi says the area has so much to offer: “Halesworth is a lovely area – so close to the coast with a really good community and plenty going on. Character properties are particularly popular at the moment and we are seeing demand for holiday cottages in the area.

“Property in and around Halesworth is more affordable than places such as Southwold for those who would like a base close to the coast, which is only a 15 minute drive away. “

Gabi is looking to maintain Durrants well-known reputation for excellent customer service across all our branches. “I pride myself in the customer service we offer to clients,” she says, “…and we try to hold their hands through the process, making it as stress-free as possible.”
