An estate agent who made his first sale in 1968 is selling the same house again before he retires – for 100 times the original price. Andrew Morris was aged 18 when he helped Michael and June Stafford buy their first home in Hereford.
The couple paid £6,000 for the four-bedroom detached Victorian property in the fashionable Broomy Hill area of the city. After Mr Stafford died in 2017 aged 92, his wife June, 85, was forced to move into a care home.
The couple’s three adult children have now asked Mr Morris to sell the Prince Edward Road property for a second time. The vast property is now on the market for £595,000 – almost 100 times the original price tag 55 years ago.
