LINLEY & SIMPSON MOVES INTO FLAGSHIP NEW RIPON OFFICE

RESIDENTIAL letting specialists, Linley & Simpson, has strengthened its presence in Ripon by launching a new office.

On the back of increased rental demand in the Spa town and surrounding districts, the multi-award winning agency has outgrown its former base in North Street after just six months.

Now the independent agency has moved to bigger and higher-profile premises in the heart of Ripon at 9/11 Old Market Place.

From here, it will be best placed to harness the rental potential of this part of North Yorkshire, extending into Masham, Thirsk and Boroughbridge.

The new-look office will benefit landlords and tenants by linking to eight other Yorkshire branches - particularly Harrogate and Wetherby - and tapping into shared databases.

It will be managed by Anthony Metcalfe, who was born in the area and still lives here. He is one of Linley & Simpson's longest-serving branch managers and transfers to Ripon from its office at Horsforth in Leeds.

He said: "Linley & Simpson has served the Ripon area for many years through our Harrogate office and launching here earlier this year was a natural progression for us and our landlords.

"The modern and more central office - which boasts the company's new branding - forms the ideal 'shop window' for taking our specialist letting expertise into new areas."

Linley & Simpson was recently crowned the best medium-sized agent in the North of England at the prestigious 'Lettings Agency of the Year' awards.
