Regional chain says branches are key as it snaps up independent firm

North east England regional chain Bradley Hall Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents has launched a new office in Hexham as its growth continues. 

The firm has snapped up Grey Estates in the town, taking over its former premises, retaining its staff and adding a new office manager to the team. 

Bradley Hall already has six branches in the region, at Newcastle, Alnwick, Morpeth, Gosforth, Sunderland and Durham.

Director of estate agency at Bradley Hall, Matt Hoy, says: “We’ve already had outstanding success in Northumberland and have welcomed to market several properties in and around Hexham through our other offices. 

“Since opening in Northumberland, the team at Bradley Hall has continued to build our presence and client base, while also gaining the highest market share in areas such as Morpeth. We look forward to replicating this success in Hexham.”

Group managing director Neil Hart, adds: “Northumberland is an incredibly important part of our business. Our strategic market town initiative has resulted in office openings and expansions in Alnwick, Morpeth and now Hexham, each of which have proven to be a great success for us. We will continue to deliver our best in class brand and provide further employment opportunities to Northumberland … We thought it was important to expand our high-street presence into an area in which we already have a number of instructions.”
