Brighton’s BN2 follows with 217 registered branches, with Ascot and Maidenhead’s SL6 (203), Oadby’s LE2 in Leicester (199) and BN1 in Brighton (199) completing the top five.
COO of GetAgent.co.uk Mal McCallion said: “The bricks and mortar estate agent branch is alive and well, despite many and frequent false prophecies that the rise of the online agent would bring about its extinction. In fact, we’ve seen quite the opposite and competition is even more fierce across many of the nation’s postcodes.
“Online portals and an almost universal propensity to house hunt on the internet have not killed the traditional estate agent, as many predicted. In fact, this technological innovation has actually allowed quality estate agents to cast their nets even further afield, listing homes in surrounding areas where their brand and local expertise still resonates.”
