How long have they been closed are they going somewere else in Marple

Certainly were closed last week. Sign in the window says they have "relocated" to Hazel Grove.

Probably a sign of the state of the housing market. And let's face it, there are a lot of estate agents in Marple.

(Edward Mellor moving - from this thread www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=7164.msg45572#msg45572 (http://www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=7164.msg45572#msg45572). Wonder if that rumour is still correct (if it ever was)....

Well I did digging on that at the time and planning permission was submitted for that building for someone connected with Edward Mellor. It was very easy to join the dots using publicly available information that they were involved with doing "something" with that building.

What they intended to do was another matter entirely.

Planning permission was granted by the way.

In this case the decision notice says three years - so it would expire December 2020.

Or just selling/letting the building once the work is done. (Many of their directors have their own property they rent out.)
