Linley & Simpson has acquired the residential lettings and management division of Dacre, Son & Hartley, the 200-year-old fellow independent Yorkshire estate agent which operates a network of 20 branches.
The deal, completed for an undisclosed sum, is the seventh struck by Leeds-headquartered Linley & Simpson since the outbreak of Covid-19.
It takes its rental portfolio to almost 12,000 properties across the 22 high Street branches it operates in Yorkshire and the Humber.
Its chief executive, Will Linley, said: “This represents an inch-perfect geographical and business fit.
“Our branches share the same footprint as those of Dacre, Son & Hartley, so this injection of properties will dovetail seamlessly into our network.”
