The takeover of independent sales and lettings agency Jordan & Mason is part of Winkworth Salisbury franchise’s ongoing Wiltshire expansion.

Owners Lisa, who has been a Winkworth franchisee for 14 years, and Simon Jacobs, took over the Salisbury franchise in 2023 and the pair have another office in Marlborough.

Lisa Jacobs said: “We were keen to expand our presence in Salisbury, particularly in lettings. The opportunity to purchase Jordan & Mason came up.

“Clare and James Jordan, like us, are a husband and wife team so we connected immediately. The whole team has moved into the Winkworth office, giving their existing clients complete continuity, and offering the excellent service and ethos Winkworth is renowned for.

Very excited

“We are very excited to have them on board. This has felt like a very natural fit for us and the handover has been enormously helped by James and Clare who have worked closely with us to ensure a seamless transition.”

Simon Jacobs said: “Our lettings presence now has a portfolio of 184 properties.  Salisbury has a healthy rentals market.  We have a wide range of tenants, from young professionals to older families and retired people and our properties are as varied.  We also handle country house rentals.”

James Jordan, of Jordan & Mason, said:  “After nearly 20 years of agency in the city, it was imperative to us as owners that our team and the clients we represent are passed on to a firm that will uphold our traditional values, high levels of client care and integrity.

This expansion by Lisa and Simon reflects Winkworth’s continuing strategy of investing in talented agents.”

“Having met with the management team at Winkworth, Simon and Lisa Jacobs, we know they share our values and traditions. They are also part of one of the most recognised agents in the UK.”

Dominic Agace, Winkworth’s Chief Executive, said: “This expansion by Lisa and Simon reflects Winkworth’s continuing strategy of investing in talented agents.”
