It began as a residential development advisory firm in Nottingham\u2019s Lace Market before broadening into property sales, lettings and management.<\/p>\n<p>Its lettings operation will now become part of John Shepherd, bringing its local client base and established team together with the larger agency\u2019s Nottingham network and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The deal comes as Nottingham continues to attract interest from property investors and landlords, with Lomond identifying the city as a key market for further growth.<\/p>\n<p>FHP Living will retain its residential sales and development consultancy activities, operating from its West Bridgford office under Jules Hunt and Jason Cook.<\/p>\n<p>David French, head of John Shepherd \u2013 East Midlands, said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;FHP Living represents exactly the kind of business we seek to bring on board: locally trusted, client-focused and excellent at what they do. Their ability to offer a wide range of property services in the Nottingham area, backed by strong client and staff loyalty, is a testament to the brand they have built. By combining their local expertise with the scale of John Shepherd and the wider Group, we&#8217;re creating a business that&#8217;s better equipped to support landlords through the sector&#8217;s ongoing regulatory evolution. Nottingham landlords looking for expert advice are welcome to get in touch \u2013 we\u2019d be delighted to help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Luke Pritchett, director of FHP Living, who will remain with the business, said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For our clients, this is about building on what&#8217;s already working. With John Shepherd and the wider Group behind us, we have more tools, more expertise and more support to draw on \u2013 which means landlords will get an even stronger service as the market keeps changing. I&#8217;m looking forward to being part of that for our clients going into the next chapter.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Established landlord and student lettings
