Agent makes North Yorkshire move

RESIDENTIAL letting agency Linley & Simpson has set up its first office in Ripon on the back of two acquisitions.
The agency has bought Lets-Move.net and the lettings arm of Davis estate agents for an undisclosed sum.
Director Will Linley said: “We have served the Ripon area for many years through our Harrogate office and the opening of a new branch there is a natural progression for us. It fulfils the wishes of our clients and will enable us to meet rising demand.
“It creates the perfect platform for taking our specialist letting expertise into new areas where demand for rented property continues to increase.
“We are well-positioned to harness the potential and popularity of this part of North Yorkshire, including places such as Thirsk, Masham and Boroughbridge.”
Staff from both companies will be retained by Linley & Simpson and operate out of the Davis offices in North Street.
