Norfolk-based estate agency Sowerbys has expanded its operations through the acquisition of local firm Norfolk Lettings.

The deal follows the retirement of Norfolk Lettings’ owner, Rosie Miller, who led the business for 13 years, serving landlords and tenants across West Norfolk.

Sowerbys, which operates nine offices across the county, will take over Norfolk Lettings’ rental portfolio. All future lettings and property management services will be managed from Sowerbys’ King’s Lynn office at Bank Chambers on the Tuesday Market Place.

Ed Tyman, operations director at Sowerby, commented: “We were delighted to be asked by Norfolk Lettings to take over the management of their loyal customers’ rental properties.”

“After initial conversations, it was clear that Norfolk Lettings and Sowerbys are perfectly aligned and share the same values. We look forward to continuing the great service offered by Norfolk Lettings and supporting customers moving forward.”

Lloyd Sandy, managing director, added: “Rosie has built a remarkable business founded on trust, integrity and personal service – values we hold dear at Sowerbys.

“Our aim is to not only preserve what has worked so well locally but enhance it further by offering the strength of our team and network across Norfolk.”
