A PAIR of Mid Cheshire estate agents have moved back home to open the new head office of their over-seas property empire.

Michael Johns, 33, of Hartford and Jeremy Casey, 35, from Delamere Park, Cuddington, set up The Right Move Abroad in 2004 and opened their new HQ at Hartford Business Park on Monday.

The pair are both former students at Mid-Cheshire College and their business, originally based in London, offers properties for sale throughout Europe.

Michael said: 'We now have offices in London, Ireland, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Slovakia and Italy, and we just felt that this was the right time for us to come home. We feel there are a number of possibilities here in Cheshire and we're proud to have established our new head office in the area where we both grew up.'

Despite its international reach, the company's Hartford office has a local feel, with staff members educated at Sir John Deane's College and Rud-heath and Hartford high schools.

Michael added: 'Because we know the area we can really understand what our customers want, and in some cases, we advise them of what they really need.

'The overseas property market is not 'one size fits all' and our job is to listen and then advise accordingly; that way everyone is happy.'
