A leading Cumbrian estate agency has moved premises in Penrith as it continues to expand.
H&H Land & Estates has moved from its Devonshire Street office to St Andrew’s View.
The move follows the firm’s acquisition of Eden Lettings Management last autumn.
It wants to offer its estate agency and lettings offering under one roof and said the move will help it expand.
With space across three floors, the building has been redesigned to offer room for hot desking for other divisions of the H&H Group, including H&H Land & Estates’ rural division, H&H Insurance Brokers and H&H Auction Rooms.
The Penrith office will be managed by recently appointed Sue Jackson, who will be supported by Shirley Thompson, joint founder of Eden Lettings Management, who will head up the lettings division. A team of five people will work at the new office.
Kate Patrick, head of estate agency, said: “We are all very excited about the move.
“We have loved working in Devonshire Street, but unfortunately it just doesn’t have enough space.
“The purchase of Eden Lettings Management means we have expanded both our staff and business reach, so the space we work in needs to expand too.
“We will provide new and existing customers with a broader range of services and further develop our sales and lettings portfolio in the Penrith area.”
H&H Land & Estates is part of H&H Group.
The group’s H&H Insurance Brokers announced earlier this month that it had acquired North East firm Tynedale Insurance Services Limited.
Richard Rankin, chief executive of H&H Group, said: “The acquisition of Tynedale Insurance Services is part of our strategy to deliver growth and opportunity, both for the company and our clients.
“It is also a natural connection of dots, linking our Cumbrian offering with our now established North East team.
“But more importantly both companies share the same ethos and values.”
