Yorkshire letting agent expands operations after new acquisition

Sheffield property agents Linley and Simpson have expanded their rental portfolio by a third after a successful acquisition.

Independent agent Cactus Living will now merge with Linley and Simpson, including a transfer of all staff plus Cactus founder Howard Wade.

The acquisition also means a change of offices from Queen Street into the bigger and more prominent offices formerly occupied by Cactus on Green Lane.

CEO of Linley & Simpson, Nick Simpson said: “We are delighted to welcome Cactus Living’s clients and all its team members into the Linley & Simpson family, this is a great opportunity for us, allowing us to extend our footprint in Sheffield and further progress our ambition of being the number one agency in the district.”

Nick, with reference to Sheffield’s property market, added: “With an ambitious programme of new build, a growing population of well over 550k people, an economy worth an estimated £12bn, and world-leading businesses, hospitals and universities, Sheffield is very much on an upward curve.”

Linley & Simpson began operations in Sheffield in December, after acquiring two independent agencies Lewis Wadsworth and Sheffield Residential.
