INDEPENDENT AGENT BERESFORD RESIDENTIAL CONSOLIDATES LEADING POSITION IN SUCCESSFUL TAKEOVER DEAL

Beresford Residential are pleased to announce that from February 2016 they will be taking over the lettings and management portfolio of XanderMatthew Limited. Established in 2011, XanderMatthew are a highly regarded Estate Agent serving Brixton, Clapham and the surrounding areas.

During the past five years XanderMatthew have let, managed and sold property for hundreds of clients across South London, and have built up a strong customer-focused reputation. The deal further consolidates Beresford Residential’s position as the area’s leading independent estate agent, and sees Assistant Branch Manager Elishah Anderson from XanderMatthew join Beresford Residential’s Brixton branch.

Craig Wildy, Beresford Residential Director remarked: “After six successful years in Brixton and following the launch of two further branches in Streatham and Camberwell, we’re delighted to have reached an agreement with XanderMatthew to take over their existing portfolio. XanderMatthew’s client base can look forward to being represented by what is now one of the area’s largest teams and reaping the rewards of our high quality marketing and top-rated service.”

“The next month will involve a handover period during which we will be working hard to ensure that all of our new clients experience a seamless transition; a process that will be facilitated by having Elishah on board. We expect and look forward to a successful partnership and, given Beresford Residential’s and XanderMatthew’s shared commitment to providing a high standard of service, we’re confident that the move will be greatly beneficial to all of our new landlords and tenants alike.”

During a time when large estate agency chains are swallowing up smaller firms at an astonishing pace, as a growing independent agent we’re proud to have agreed such a partnership with XanderMatthew and we look forward to providing their clients with outstanding service for many years to come.

Craig Wildy also stated that Beresford Residential continue to look for acquisition opportunities to build on its current client base around Brixton, Streatham and Camberwell. They are keen to take on further letting and management portfolios to advance their expansion East into Peckham, Dulwich and West Norwood, or West into Clapham and Balham.
