Leicester estate agent reveals national ambition after record quarter

Leicester headquartered Hortons Estate Agents says it has had a record-breaking quarter, completing 283 transactions worth over £82m.

The company is on track to reach £3m in revenue this year, a 186% increase on the previous financial year.

Adam Horton, founder, said: “We’re delighted with our quarterly result, and the position it puts us in for the year.

“Our success is a result of our growing team of experienced agents and expansion into new territories. Over the coming years, we’re planning to increase the rate of growth, our aim is to become a national agency within the next five years.”

The agency is in its fourth year of trading and currently operates 19 territories in the East Midlands, but has recently opened in Leamington Spa, and is due to launch in Banbury in August.
