Solicitors Property Shop has opened a display centre in Durham City.

The centre is in Saddler Street and offers a comprehensive property marketing service, including estate agency and legal services.

SPS north regional manager Paul Hilton said: "The launch of a new SPS property centre in the North-East is a great development for the company, local member firms and the Durham public.

"Homebuyers and sellers in the area can now contact us in the knowledge that we can offer them all the services they require for their move, under one roof."

The opening is a joint venture involving three local member firms of solicitors; Blackett Hart and Pratt, Riley Langdon Solicitors and Turner Morgan Jamieson.

Mr Hilton said: "Buyers and sellers also know that the legal profession is strictly regulated and that such regulation extends to solicitors' estate agency services."
