About JD Commercial, Devon

42 Ridgeway Drive, Westward Ho, EX39 1TW

Having experience in Commercial Estate Agency since 1996, the company JD Commercial is headed up by James Doble who during his time in the Commercial market has established the importance of service in achieving successful results.

Whether it is the sale of a Leisure Property such as a Hotel or Tea Room to a private buyer, or the letting of a High Street Retail Unit to a plc, the importance of communication between all parties involved in the transaction is key. This is all brought together through JD Commercial. After all, once a purchaser is found this is often where the hard work begins.

Having the understanding that not only a purchaser's solicitor will be instructed at the point of sale, but often a Surveyor / Valuer, Bank Manager and Accountant means that we have the understanding of what is required from each party. Knowing exactly at what stage a transaction is means unnecessary costs and time delays can be avoided, as well as both vendor and purchaser experiencing a smooth transaction.

Being 100% dedicated to the Commercial Property market we do not split our time between Commercial and Residential property and as such all of our time and marketing is aimed at the Commercial sector. With our wealth of experience we have certainly noticed a change, over the years, of the ways and formats of achieving interest in property and can offer traditional or more contemporary solutions on how to market a property.
