“With the vendor looking to retire after many years running the shop and Post Office it was important to find a new owner who would continue providing for the village.
“Thankfully the buyer has taken on this responsibility by moving to the village and has further plans to re-fit the shop and offer even more convenience-led products. We are glad we were able to help both parties in this transition.”
Ms Renton said: “From getting my shop on the market to completion, this was an efficient and hassle-free process - I can’t thank Christie & Co and Liam enough.”
