Lomond expands again after sweeping up another lettings book

Lomond is cementing its position in the North West after sweeping up the rest of Harvey Scott’s Greater Manchester rental portfolio after after buying its Cheshire lettings book last year.

The deal means that he group now operates 14 interlinked offices in the North West through High Street brands Thornley Groves, Matthews of Chester and Julian Wadden – where the extra properties have all been transferred.

ENTRUSTED

Ed Phillips, Lomond Chief Executive, says: “As we close in on 50 acquisitions since our launch less than three years ago we are thrilled to be entrusted with all the remaining properties managed by Harvey Scott.

“With huge market reach and an enviable reputation the addition of a respected and long-established brand such as Harvey Scott enhances our position.”

Jason Watkin (main picture), Chief Executive of Lomond North West, says: “We currently have approaching 8,000 properties under our team’s management across the region – compared to 2,400 at the end of 2020.

“This tripling of the size of our business in this key location is yet another signal of our ambitions to grow at pace and scale and cement our position as market leaders not just in the region but nationally too, where the number of properties under Lomond’s management has propelled past 40,000.”

EVERY SUCCESS

And he adds: “We wish Harvey Scott directors Niall and Nicola Tomlinson every success in their future, after working 20 years in the sector across the South Cheshire and Greater Manchester area.

“Thanks to our successful acquisition of Harvey Scott in Bollington, we are delighted they took the decision to entrust the remainder of the Harvey Scott business to Julian Wadden, the leading independent estate agent in Stockport.

“We look forward to familiar faces from the Harvey Scott team joining the Julian Wadden business and wider Lomond group, and the opportunities this brings.”
