Cardiff-based estate agency Jeffrey Ross has acquired rival south Wales firm Brinsons, as it steps up efforts to become the largest agency in Wales.

It is the third acquisition for Jeffrey Ross in recent years, after it bought auctioneers Seel and Co in 2019, and Penarth-based ACJ Sales and Lettings early last year.

Current management team

Brinsons, which is based in Caerphilly, was founded in 1900 as a surveyor and land adviser for local farmers.

Under Jeffrey Ross Group’s ownership it will remain in the stewardship of the current management team, and stay in its Market Street office.

Ross Hooper-Nash, company MD who founded Jeffrey Ross more than 18 years ago, says: “Brinsons is a well-known and respected name in property sales and lettings in south Wales, and so it is great that we have been able to acquire it to join our quickly growing family of agents across the region.

This is just the beginning, we have lots more irons in the fire and are aiming to be Wales’ number one.”

“Since 2019, we have expanded the Jeffrey Ross Group, bringing not only estate agencies into the fold, but also financial services companies such as Grosvenor May, which we bought in late 2023,” he says.

“And this is just the beginning, we have lots more irons in the fire and are aiming to be Wales’ number one estate, property and letting agent – so watch this space.”

Trevor Isaac, MD at Brinsons, says: “I’m very pleased to have completed on the sale of the Brinsons estate agency and residential letting business to Jeffrey Ross, a well-respected, family-owned independent practice.

“I have retained the commercial, land and professional services side of Brinsons. I firmly believe that the part sale will help grow the Brinsons business as a whole”.

Jeffrey Ross is a family business that was originally founded in 2008, and now has five estate agency branches around Cardiff.
