Two years after acquiring Northwood Chelmsford, Zaman and Amina Sheikh have further grown their footprint by acquiring WN Properties, located just 10 miles away on Hutton Road, Shenfield.

The husband and wife team have already introduced a residential sales service and grown the business significantly since taking ownership in 2023 from a retiring franchisee. And this is just the first of many other acquisitions in the pipeline for 2026, they claim.

Speaking of the acquisition, Zaman said: “WN Properties is a reputable business that we had been aware of for some years, and we are delighted that the outgoing directors trusted us with the acquisition.

“The business deals with some very high-end properties in the Shenfield area and the team there are fantastic. We are already enjoying working with them to grow the business.”

Helpful team

“I must also pay tribute to the team at Northwood Chelmsford, who have been instrumental in the success of the acquisition,” added Zaman. “They have many years of experience in property, which has allowed me to focus on business development whilst they continue to provide our clients with outstanding customer service.”

A delighted Phil Gee, MD at Northwood, commented: “This is a fantastic acquisition for Zaman and Amina, as WN Properties is a very well-established and reputable agency with a great lettings and sales portfolio.

“They are retaining the team of six staff, and the business will continue to trade as WN Properties, benefiting significantly from the enhanced processes and technology that Northwood can provide, and the energy and focus that Zaman and Amina bring.

“They are young, dynamic and have great skill sets, which includes Zaman having a Master’s degree in Real Estate Finance and Investment and being a qualified RICS Surveyor and registered valuer. Zaman and Amina are both very keen and ambitious, and I am confident that they will make a huge success of this acquisition.”
