Among the properties whose sales were handled by Simpson & Simpson were 11 Coronation Street in 1989, 1 Coronation Street in 1990, and 3 Coronation Street and 17 Elmgate Gardens in 1991. The former resulted in a quick sale after Jim and Liz McDonald saw an advert for the house in the estate agent's window. No.1's sale to Newton & Ridley fell through after the brewery's plans to turn the adjoining Rovers Return into a theme pub were cancelled, while the latter two were taken off the market by the sellers Emily Bishop and Jackie Ingram respectively.
