A housing sales team has been named the best in the company’s nine-year history.

The team, working on Adlington House retirement apartments in Slade Road in Portishead, has managed to get 95 per cent of its properties reserved so far.

Adlington House offers a choice of one, two or three-bedroom apartments to people who have retired.

Sales advisor Vivien Treharne said: “We always knew that there was a great deal of demand in the town for a new independent retirement facility but to have almost sold out in seven months is a new record for Adlington, which has developments in other UK locations.”
