Nicholas Humphreys winning in Wimborne

Bhavik Patel, owner of Nicholas Humphreys Southampton & Portsmouth, has completed on the acquisition of independent lettings agency Harker and Bullman in Wimborne, adding over 350 properties to his portfolio. This is the first Nicholas Humphreys franchisee acquisition since the network became part of the Belvoir Group in April 2021. Bhavik, whose business partners are Priti Kashyap and Tarun Patel, has been with Nicholas Humphreys for four years.

He commented: “We originally launched Nicholas Humphreys Southampton as a cold start and then a year ago we bought the Portsmouth office as a resale. I can confirm that we have now successfully completed on the acquisition of Harker and Bullman in Wimborne following the retirement of the previous owner.

“The new acquisition is a very well-established independent lettings agency that has been in business for close to 30 years and has an excellent reputation. The acquisition has added a new territory to the network in Bournemouth and Wimborne and added over 350 properties to our portfolio. We will be retaining the entire Harker and Bullman team who have a wealth of experience.”

David Spackman, MD said: “I would like to congratulate Bhavik and his partners Priti Kashyap and Tarun Patel on this acquisition, which has enabled them to grow their business considerably.”
