Dominic Agace (right), CEO of the company, commented: “Our first half results are in line with expectations and reflect an uptick in sales, with a greater number of properties coming to market and transactions returning to more normalised levels.

“Our lettings and management business has been more subdued but underpins a strong performance from the group. With an above average number of franchisees expected to be added in 2024, we are confident in the outlook for the second half and beyond.”
