First move into Yorkshire for newly launched estate agency

Estate and lettings agent, Property Sense, has been appointed to secure tenants for The Ironworks development in Sheffield city centre.

The recently launched estate agency has been tasked with letting the majority of the residential scheme by developer Rise Homes.

Comprising 229 apartments, the deal represents Property Sense’s biggest letting task to date.

The Stockport-based firm, which only launched in April 2024, is already marketing and managing more than 500 units nationwide.

The appointment of Property Sense by Rise Homes comes off the back of the agency successfully letting the developer’s ‘The Interchange’ scheme in Stockport town centre.

The agreement also marks the agency’s launch in Yorkshire, with the region remaining a top growth priority for the business.

“Mike Haywood, CEO, said: “We’re spearheading innovation with our forward-thinking approach and have already proven that it works. From self-contained blocks in the North of England to individual buy-to-lets across the country, we’ve made huge strides in our first few months.

“Being trusted by Rise Homes to once again deliver exceptional lettings results is fantastic and securing such a large letting contract in Sheffield enables us to demonstrate how our approach delivers enviable results.

“We’ve got ambitions to become the biggest sales and letting agent in the country and look forward to making a huge splash in Yorkshire’s buoyant property market, scaling up our operations and working with the region’s key developers.”

The ironworks development is on the once-neglected site of the former Queens Hotel on Scotland Street. It was officially opened in September 2023.
