Stoneridge Estate Agents, which has offices in central London and Clacton, will officially launch its third office in Brightlingsea, Essex, next week.

An official ribbon cutting ceremony led by mayor of Brightlingsea, Jayne Chapman, and directors James Hughes and Steve Singleton, has already taken place, although the new office, led by branch manager Adam Cast, will not officially open until 1 September.

A spokesperson for Stoneridge Estate Agents told the press: “With their unique connection to London based buyers via the Mayfair office and overwhelming market share already in the Tendring area Stoneridge felt their next natural step was Brightlingsea.

“The directors have both enjoyed the area over the past 20 years and have fond memories and a great appreciation for the town itself which made the area a perfect location for their next office.

“They already have a number of properties for sale and to let locally, with a large number of buyers registered since their launch looking for properties in Brightlingsea itself.”
