After completing a law degree from Manchester University and two winters working in the French Alps, Austin Thorogood joined the firm in 1993. All his estate agency experience has been from Northcote Road and, as he has been conducting valuations since the start and has over a thousand sales under his belt, he has an unrivalled and extensive knowledge of the local housing stock. His passion (aside from his wife, two children and skiing powder) is for offering the highest level of service and maintaining the company’s reputation as the leading independent agent in the area. He has lived locally for over 20 years.
