Lomond’s acquisitive mission is showing no signs of abating when it comes to the Capital’s marketplace this year.
Following in the footsteps of Chase Evans, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, Hamnett & Ganpot, Vantage and Draker, is the group’s latest purchase of Putney-based lettings specialist agency, Glenthorne Properties.
With a 38-year history embedded in the market of London’s south west, Glenthorne was established and helmed by owner and Director Stephen Giddings to professionalise the oft-neglected lettings sector – a market that has grown significantly since the company’s inception.
Specialising in lettings allowed the business to distinguish itself by providing exceptional customer service and establishing long-term client relationships. The loyalty of colleagues and clients speaks to the quality of the business.
MERGED INTO KFH
Set to be consolidated into Lomond’s London flagship brand, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, Giddings plans to take a well-earned step back from the property world after handing over the reins.
John Ennis (main picture, inset), Chief Revenue Officer at Lomond, says: “The long, shared histories of these two businesses, that have evolved as local market specialists since their establishment decades ago, make KFH a natural home for Glenthorne and its clients’ next phase of life, and we look forward to incorporating them in the coming weeks”
Stephen Giddings, Founder and Director of Glenthorne Properties, adds: “After many happy years servicing the best interests of our clients across the south west, it’s my pleasure to pass the baton to a business that has both the people and the technological robustness to navigate the evolving private rented sector.”
