Acquisition reinforces property consultancy’s presence in the capital

Leeds-headquartered property consultancy, Sanderson Weatherall, has bolstered its London footprint with the acquisition of BDG Sparkes Porter.

This is a commercial property agency established for 30 years and known for its expertise in the West End office and investment markets.

The acquisition enhances Sanderson Weatherall’s existing City office presence, solidifying its position within the capital.

It brings seven highly experienced agents to Sanderson Weatherall, who are also well known for their West End Office submarkets research.

David Rastrick, chief operating officer at Sanderson Weatherall, said: “This acquisition strengthens our agency and capital markets presence in London, particularly in one of the UK’s most resilient office markets.

“It also enables us to expand our client base and further broaden the range of services and knowledge we can offer stakeholders with property interests and assets in the capital.”

Richard Dunn, head of agency, said: “I am thrilled to welcome the agents at BDG Sparkes Porter to Sanderson Weatherall.

“The West End office market is experiencing robust growth driven by increased occupier activity and rising prime rents.

“Investment volumes are also rising and with improved occupier sentiment, this is a great time to expand our agency offering in the capital.”

Greg Porter, founder of BDG Sparkes Porter, added: “Joining Sanderson Weatherall, a nationally recognised and B Corp certified firm, unlocks significant growth potential and enables us to deliver enhanced services to our clients.

“We are committed to continuing our sector specialist roles in the West End, with myself, Ross Blanchflower and James Harrison joining as shareholding partners, and the rest of the team continuing in their valuable roles.”
