The company is now under the ownership of Andrew & Richard Johnson so it is once again a family firm. The owners are both Chartered Surveyors and deal with Residential and Commercial property.

Rather than sell outright, some firms or individuals now retain ownership of their properties and lease them out to new occupiers. We will give an appraisal of the value, handle the marketing, arrange local press advertising, keeping you advised throughout the process. We will liaise with solicitors during the transaction and give further advice on any clauses which need to be inserted in the lease or conveyance to protect your future interests.
