Now even better placed

Commercial property agent Prop-Search is now even better placed to provide a greater service across Northamptonshire and beyond, with the opening of a new Northampton office and the appointment of new key personnel.

Ian Harman BSc MRICS will head up the office at Queensbridge, Northampton following his departure from Lambert Smith Hampton where he was as a Director within the Industrial and Logistics department.

Ian has over 20 years valuation and agency experience in Northamptonshire and Rugby, and has detailed knowledge to provide clear detailed pragmatic market driven advice.  He deals with a wide range of agency and professional work on behalf of a range of developers, local authorities, institutional fund and occupier clients.

Commenting of the firm’s expansion, Simon Toseland, a founding Director of Prop-Search, said: “Following not only survival but growth through the economic difficulties, the Prop-Search brand has gone from strength to strength.  The opening of the new office and the appointment of Ian as a Director follows ‘hot on the heels’ of our expansion into Milton Keynes earlier this year.”

“We have confidence in the local market – better times will return and the region has a bright future with huge expansion certain.  Our continued growth will enable us to take advantage of any upturn and in the meantime be able to offer clients unrivalled advice and service.”

Prop-Search was founded in Wellingborough four years ago by Chris Billson and Simon Toseland who have worked in the Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire region since 1987.  During 2010 and 2011, the team expanded to include the appointment Samantha Jones MCIPR MCIJ, Peter Sullivan FRICS and David Robbins BSc MRICS.

As well as providing agency advice on selling, letting, acquiring, development and investment portfolios, Prop-Search provides a full management service through Prop-Manage and has a wealth of consultants specialising in areas such as bank valuations, building surveying, rating appeals, rent reviews and lease renewals, energy performance certificates, residential development and land sales, planning, commercial building insurance, legal and accounting.
