Sinclair Taylor, a leading property debt solutions company, is celebrating 25 years in business.
Founded in 1999 by Tom Sinclair to provide debt management services to estate agents, Sinclair Taylor was the first debt recovery firm in the UK to focus on lost revenue estate agencies were incurring via withdrawn instructions; providing a free checking service to establish where instructed properties have been removed from the market and then subsequently sold to a buyer introduced by the agency.
Over the past 25 years the business has grown considerably, now working with a roster of UK estate agencies, large and small, including some of the country’s leading agencies, and they boast an impressive success rate of 80% in recovering debts previously thought ‘uncollectable’.
During the first ten years, Tom was joined by joint Managing Director Tom Harris, formerly of Countrywide, and Becky Taylor who headed up the collections department.
CLOSE-KNIT TEAM
The company remain a close-knit team today who are proud to have built the business from the ground up. And with 10 full time staff in total, they boast over 120 years of combined experience within the estate agency sector.
In 2021, Sinclair Taylor joined Broadriver Group, which owns several debt collection and trace agencies and welcomed the investment into technology, sales and marketing to help them increase their market share.
Sinclair Taylor’s mission statement has always been ‘mediating gently but relentlessly’ and with such success behind them with this approach, they look set to enjoy another 25 years helping save estate agencies thousands in missed fees.
Founder and Director, Bill Sinclair (pictured), says: ‘We are a small but effective team, and see our role as crucial in helping agencies recover fees or monies that they are rightly owed, whilst simultaneously protecting a firm’s brand reputation – which has likely taken years to build. We can often be the difference in keeping our clients’ businesses afloat. We are certainly looking forward to the future, and hope its as great as the first 25 years.”
