Charters Group acquires Southampton lettings portfolio
The Chandlers Ford-based estate agency has boosted its lettings portfolio with the acquisition of Manns & Manns.
Estate agency group, Charters, has expanded its lettings portfolio even further with the second acquisition this month.
The purchase of Manns & Manns Lettings Portfolio in Bursledon, Southampton, takes the firm’s number of managed properties to c. 2,700 across Hampshire and Surrey.
The news follows the purchase of Purelet for an undisclosed sum just a couple of weeks ago.
Robert Mott, Chairman of Charters Group (main picture), commented: “It is a pleasure to acquire the lettings portfolio at Manns & Manns, as we continue to grow our business.
“This addition to our already extensive lettings portfolio will further underline the commitment we offer to landlords. With our in-house experience and expertise, robust infrastructure, and commitment to staying up-to-date with legislation, we are well-equipped to alleviate the stress of being a landlord.
“We are delighted to enhance the already exceptional service the Manns & Manns lettings team offer. I have known Helen for many years and this collaboration is built on mutual trust and respect.”
Helen Manns (pictured left), owner, said, “This is exciting news for Manns & Manns and Charters. They are a well-known and respected Lettings and estate agents who have grown into one the south’s largest independent agencies.
I, along with Robert, will be looking forward to a bright future for the Lettings arm of Manns & Manns. With systems and processes already in place, in-house legislation expertise and the landlords needs at the forefront of everything they do, this will continue to maintain and enhance the service for everyone involved.”
Charters Group is actively seeking to invest in other portfolios as part of its expansion strategy.
