Chan Khangura, who currently owns and operates Whitegates Huddersfield, Brighouse, and Pontefract, has announced the acquisition of Martin & Co Pontefract.

This latest purchase by Khangura, who has been a franchise owner with the brand since July 2012, marks his 10th agency purchase, continuing a strong record of strategic growth and business development within the network.

This latest deal represents another step in Khangura’s expansion of the Whitegates brand through a combination of office resales and independent agency acquisitions.

The Martin & Co Pontefract branch is set to close.

Khangura told EYE: “I am delighted to have completed on our tenth acquisition in 13 years. Martin & Co are part of the TPFG as we are and thus the deal was logistically easy to acquire- the company has successfully grown over the last decade under the helm of Michelle and provide a fanatic service to vendors, buyers, tenants & landlords.

“We are delighted the staff are staying on to simplify the transition process and provide a family face to Martin and Co clients. Whitegates Pontefract has since last year been ran by associate director Liam Reilly who has a wealth of experience in estate agency in Pontefract & surrounding. A big thanks to all involved in helping broker the deal at TPFG as well as my supportive family and strong management team.”
