Your Move franchise partner, Edward Rose Property Group, has strengthened its presence in Southsea by acquiring the well-established lettings agency, Flats in Southsea, from owner Alwin Oliver, who is stepping back to enjoy a well-earned retirement.

This strategic acquisition brings 109 managed units under the umbrella of Your Move Southsea, offering landlords new to the brand access to a wider range of services and enhanced support for both them and their tenants.

Edward Rose Property Group owner, David Vertannes, said: “We are delighted to be adding new members to our dedicated team at Your Move Southsea as we take on over 100 new landlords following our latest acquisition. We wish Alwin a happy and well-deserved retirement following his decision, this process has been very smooth and he has been a pleasure to work with.

“Our team at Your Move Southsea are committed to continuing to provide exceptional customer service to landlords and tenants as well as guiding them through the implementation of the Renters Rights Act.”

LSL Estate Agency Franchising Franchise Director, Kate Ashley-Ives, commented “It has been a pleasure to work with David again, for his fourth acquisition in the past 12 months. This achievement is a testament to him and his team’s ambition, exceptional service and dedication to their landlords.”

Landlords and tenants will be welcomed by familiar faces, as the two existing members of staff will be joining the Your Move Southsea team from Flats in Southsea which will help ensure a smooth transition.
