Estate agent swoops for Leicestershire counterpart

A Leicestershire estate and lettings agent has expanded after buying Barrow Upon Soar-based Strawberry Lettings and Sales.

Berkley Estate & Letting Agents is an independent company which operates with offices throughout Leicestershire: in Leicester city centre, Kibworth and now Barrow Upon Soar, following the acquisition.

Scott Burrows, director of Berkley Estate & Letting Agents, said: “We manage, advise on and sell land and properties throughout the county. The acquisition of Strawberry Lettings and Sales increases our reach into the Charnwood area which the property market has been thriving in recent years.

“We’d been looking to open a branch in the area for a while so when the business became available it was an easy decision to make as we expanded both the team and our portfolio with this deal.”

Berkley Estate & Letting Agents were advised by Rik Pancholi, director of Pattersons Commercial Law.

He said: “It has been a pleasure to work with Scott on this deal. Berkley are in an industry that is very people-focused and it has been clear throughout this process that they both owe their success to this approach. I wish them the very best in this exciting new chapter for the company.”
