Michael Cook and Leaders Romans Group buy Stirling Ackroyd, Alexander & Co and Peter Ball as part of a major expansion.

Leaders Romans' lettings boss says although a quarter of landlords are considering offloading properties, it's not all about the Renters (Reform) Bill.

The parent group of John Payne and Langford Russell saw profits fall prior to the LRG buyout.

The Leaders office in Brighton now has sustainable features including recycled carpets and furniture.

After nearly 40 years in business as an independent firm multi-branch group Acorn is now joining the corporate blue-chip world.

LRG's lettings director says rental homes will be in short supply and rents continue to climb fast unless more landlords come forward.

Growing industry blue-chip has now bought eight estate agencies this year, adding 28 new branches and 370 staff to its network.

Company's latest financial statements include details of eight agency purchases since February 2020.
