Fast expanding Romans has made its seventh acquisition of the year.

The Thames Valley based group has acquired Bramptons sales and lettings branches in Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire.

The firm still has £12m for more purchases and says it is actively looking for acquisitions.

Romans now has a network of 27 sales and lettings branches across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Middlesex, Oxfordshire and Surrey.

It has not disclosed the price paid for Bramptons, which was established in 1994.

Peter Fuller, managing director of Romans Lettings, said: “With our extensive acquisition experience in the south-east, capacity and financing facility, we are ready and able to consider any acquisition opportunity and plan to accelerate our rate of growth this year and in the years to come.”

Romans has been regularly tipped as a stock market entrant.
