Pioneering agency debt solutions firm snapped up by business group

Sinclair Taylor, the first company to offer debt solutions to estate agencies, has been acquired by The Broadriver Group, a diverse business group.

Established in 1999, Sinclair Taylor has been providing debt solutions to agencies for over 20 years.

It was the first company to focus on lost revenue estate agencies incurred through withdrawal instructions and it also provides a checking service to establish where instructed properties had been removed from the market and then subsequently sold to a buyer introduced by the agency.  

In addition to withdrawal checking and recovery, withdrawn listing fees collections, overseas debt recovery and litigation services, Sinclair Taylor provides tenancy support services such as absconded tenancy tracing and tenant referencing.

As well as Sinclair Taylor, The Broadriver Group encompasses a leading debt recovery and outsourcing business, Controlaccount Plc. It also owns identeco Business Support Toolkit – a business data and reporting service and identecoHR, an online people management portal.

Sinclair Taylor’s Bill Sinclair and Tom Harris are now joined by new managing director Richard Jefferies who has overseen the introduction of additional services, a brand refresh and new website. 

Jefferies comments: “I am excited to welcome Bill, Tom and the Sinclair Taylor team to the Broadriver family.  With support from Controlaccount and identeco, we have added additional services that will appeal to the property sector. With our brand refresh and new website, as well as new client management software and additional services, we look forward to building on the success that Bill and Tom have built and expanding our client base within property sector.”
