Your Move Leicester Grows Lettings Portfolio via Acquisition

Your Move Leicester has strengthened its local presence with the acquisition of a managed landlords lettings portfolio, which will be integrated into its existing operations. The move marks another milestone for National Home Move, the largest partner of LSL Estate Agency Franchising, which owns the Leicester Your Move branch.

National Home Move operates over 60 branches across the UK and manages a lettings book of more than 14,000 landlords. This latest acquisition reflects the company’s continued commitment to growth and its strategic positioning in a shifting property market.

With the anticipated Renters’ Rights Bill on the horizon, many estate agents are reassessing their business models. A growing number are choosing to sell their lettings portfolios to concentrate on residential sales, creating opportunities for expansion-focused firms like National Home Move.

Matthew McCreath, Managing Director of National Home Move, commented:

"We are delighted to acquire this lettings portfolio and we are already welcoming the landlords to our Your Move Leicester branch and introducing them to our experienced team. This acquisition is reflective of the outstanding work our team continue to do and the exemplary service they deliver to our customers."

McCreath also praised the support received from LSL Estate Agency Franchising throughout the acquisition process, adding that the company remains actively on the lookout for further growth opportunities.

Kate Ashley-Ives, Franchise Director at LSL Estate Agency Franchising, said:

"I am delighted for Matthew and his team at National Home Move. It’s been great to support them with this acquisition. It reinforces the high-quality service they deliver for customers across their branches. I look forward to working with the team again soon on future acquisitions."
