Professionals from across the property sector turned out in force on 9 September to attend Penningtons Solicitors LLP's annual property party which this year was held at the Inn on the Lake in Godalming and attended by over 130 people.
Guests included key figures in the Surrey property world including investors, developers, estate agents, surveyors, bankers, planning consultants, architects and financial advisers. The event, which was hosted by Penningtons' commercial and residential property lawyers, provided an invaluable networking opportunity for clients and other local professionals as well as a chance to discuss the latest issues impacting on the sector with representatives from a wide range of businesses. Both the large number of attendees and the atmosphere at the event gave an indication of increasing optimism in the market place despite some recent press reports predicting a fall in house prices.
David Graham-Smith of Penningtons' commercial property team welcomed guests with a motivating speech in which he highlighted the growth in the market during the last 12 months and urged his audience to maximise the renewed energy which is being demonstrated by professionals from many parts of the sector.
Feedback on the evening has been overwhelmingly positve with comments such as "It was good to meet others in the property world in such hospitable and convivival surroundings" and "The event was a triumph" typical of many received after the reception.
Penningtons' property team advises businesses and individuals on all types of commercial and residential property transactions and has recently been recognised as a key player in Kent, Surrey and Sussex in the 2010 edition of the leading legal directory The Legal 500.
