Funky Shirts, a Ploughman’s and Plenty of Birthday Cheer! 🎉


The Mannleys office enjoyed another birthday celebration recently as we raised a glass — and a cheese sandwich — to Roger, who carries out our accompanied property viewings.


Roger is well known for his friendly manner, extensive property knowledge and, of course, his incredible collection of funky shirts. Whether they are brightly coloured, boldly patterned or just slightly unusual, his shirts are always guaranteed to make an impression!

To mark the occasion, the team tucked into a delicious Ploughman’s-themed buffet lunch, complete with plenty of cheese, cold meats, pork pies, pickles and all the traditional favourites. It was the perfect way to celebrate Roger — although even the most colourful buffet spread struggled to compete with his shirt!

Roger is a valued member of the Mannleys team and does a fantastic job showing buyers around our properties, always offering a warm welcome and plenty of personality.

Happy birthday, Roger! We hope you had a brilliant day filled with good food, great company and another suitably eye-catching shirt! 🧀🥪👕


Two Brilliant Years of Millie! 🎉🏡


This month, we are celebrating a very special milestone as our Sales & Marketing Assistant, Millie Kusnierz, marks two years with Mannleys Sales & Lettings!


Millie joined us with no previous experience in the property industry, but she quickly threw herself into the role and has become an invaluable member of the team. Over the past two years, her knowledge, confidence and responsibilities have grown enormously.

Millie now manages client liaison for all our new sales instructions, keeping sellers informed and working diligently to get their homes onto the market as quickly as possible. This often involves the considerable challenge of keeping our occasionally errant valuers on track and persuading our strong-willed photographer to cooperate — a task she has learned to handle with impressive patience and determination!

Alongside coordinating new instructions, Millie also manages much of our social media and marketing, helping to showcase our properties, celebrate the team and keep Mannleys visible across the local community.

As if that wasn’t enough, she is also training to become a Sales Negotiator and continues to develop her skills and knowledge of the property market.

Congratulations on two fantastic years, Millie! Thank you for your hard work, humour and for somehow keeping everyone organised. We are incredibly proud of how far you have come and look forward to seeing what you achieve next! 🥂


Double the Birthdays, Double the Celebrations! 🎉


There was plenty of noise, laughter and slightly questionable singing in the Mannleys office this week as we celebrated the shared birthday of Assistant Manager Lydia and Sales Negotiator Hollie!


Our office birthday twins both celebrate their big day on Monday 27th July. However, as Lydia will be away next week, we decided that it was only right to begin the celebrations early — and we didn’t need much persuading!

The team enjoyed pizza and prosecco before the afternoon descended into karaoke. While the enthusiasm was impressive, the singing talent was perhaps a little more debatable! Thankfully, Lydia and Hollie are both considerably better at selling houses than we are at hitting the high notes.

It was a brilliant opportunity for the team to get together, have some fun and celebrate two much-loved members of the Mannleys family.

Happy birthday, Lydia and Hollie! We hope you both have a fantastic day filled with plenty of celebrations, laughter and perhaps just a little less karaoke! 🥂🍕🎤

Mannleys Helps Darby Singers Support Local Cancer Appeal 🎶🌻


Mannleys Sales & Lettings was delighted to support the Darby Singers’ recent raffle by donating a Telford Monopoly game featuring Mannleys, along with a bottle of Mannleys Prosecco.

The raffle took place during the community choir’s hugely successful “Legends” concert at St Michael’s Church in Madeley on Saturday 27th June. The event raised a total profit of just under £1,400, with an impressive £535 coming from raffle ticket sales alone.

This year, the Darby Singers are supporting the Lingen Davies Sunflower Appeal, which aims to raise £5 million towards opening a new cancer centre at Telford’s Princess Royal Hospital by 2029. Following the concert’s success, the choir was delighted to donate £1,000 to this incredibly worthwhile local cause.

The event also had a special Mannleys connection, as the Darby Singers’ Musical Director is Lorna, wife of our Branch Manager, Christian. We are incredibly proud of Lorna, the choir and everyone involved in delivering such a successful evening.

A huge congratulations to the Darby Singers — and thank you to everyone who bought a raffle ticket and helped support a project that will make a real difference within our local community. 🎶🥂🏡

Property success takes time, careful planning and expert guidance. As the Renters’ Rights Act reshapes the private rented sector, landlords must prioritise compliance, tenant selection and proactive management. Mannleys is here to help landlords navigate change, protect their investments and achieve strong long-term returns.

It may feel far too early to think about Christmas, but moving home takes longer than many sellers expect. Starting in July can make the journey calmer and more controlled.

Welcome to this month’s property market update from Mannleys Sales & Lettings. Here’s a roundup of where things stand right now — and what to keep an eye on in the coming months.

Scrolling property portals is useful, but registering with an estate agency can give buyers a more personal, proactive search experience, especially when the right home is about to come to market.
