Linley & Simpson adds another branch to thriving portfolio

LINLEY & Simpson has completed another acquisition.

The residential letting agent has launched its latest branch – its tenth – in Saltaire after taking over the sales and letting business of Move2.

The office, based on Bingley Road, will now become the first in the independent company’s network to offer a house sales service in addition to a rental one.

Director, Will Linley, said: “With its thriving rental market, the Aire Valley has been at the heart of our planned expansion for some time and we are delighted to complete this deal.

“The new office will cover an area that includes Shipley, Bingley and Baildon and fills a geographical gap that had existed in our network of neighbouring offices.

“The office will also act as the launch pad for our new service helping people to buy and sell homes, as well as rent one. We plan to phase in this extra dimension to our services across all our branches over the next year.”

The new office, managed by Lisa Hallett, will work closely with other Linley & Simpson braches in Ilkley, Horsforth, Roundhay, Leeds city centre, Harrogate, Ripon, Wetherby, York and Wakefield.

The acquisition of Move2 marks the third such deal in its Yorkshire heartland this year for Linley & Simpson.
