Robert Williams Estate Agents were very pleased to be able to help The Hair @ The Academy team to find their new hair studio in The Cornerstone in Kimberly Road.

Robert was instructed to sell this iconic building by another charity, The Isca Church and all parties were delighted that it was bought by another very deserving charity business.

Mary Pugsley OBE has had previous close connections with our agency and since it was revealed that the Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education was relocating to Exmouth, we have been keen to help The Hair Academy find suitable alternative accommodation.

The first time Mary visited Cornerstone, she knew what an excellent home it could become for the new hair academy, but, as both the sellers and buyers were charities, there were a number of hoops to jump through.  The Weavers, Fullers and Shearman Charity carried out the due dilligence of the purchase and several contractors and surveyors visited the buiding, whilst Mary carried out all the costings.  Each party was delighted when contracts were exchanged and now the refurbishment work is well underway.

Robert Williams and Mary worked closely to get this deal over the line, and we are both looking forward to seeing the new studio and raise a glass to both charities and everyone involved when it opens for business.
