Casa Group moves north with Cox & Co deal

A property group from the North of England is expanding its operations north of the border.

Edinburgh-based Cox & Co, specialising in property and mortgage services, has been acquired by Casa Group in a seven-figure deal, marking the group’s first expansion into Scotland. 

As part of the deal, John Cox, managing director of Cox & Co, will take the helm as managing director of Casa Group Scotland, leading growth plans across Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Central Belt. 

The Cox & Co brand will remain, with operations continuing from its Castle Terrace headquarters in Edinburgh and all staff roles remaining secure.

John said: “Cox & Co has been on an amazing journey, one I am immensely proud of, and becoming part of Casa Group is an exciting opportunity.

“We have built a strong reputation serving buyers, sellers, investors and renters of properties and with the backing and resources of Casa Group, we can build on our success and extend our services to benefit even more clients across Scotland.

“The acquisition also allows us to roll out our financial services proposition and property investment arm into England and I’m really looking forward to what lies ahead.

“We have exciting growth plans and are ready to make even more of an impact as we become the go-to name in property across the country.”

County-Durham based Casa Group, previously known as the Castledene Group, operates eleven branches across the north of England, specialising in residential sales, lettings and property management.

Adele Wright, managing director of Casa Group England, added: “We are delighted to welcome Cox & Co into the Casa Group family.

“This acquisition allows us to expand our services into Scotland while benefiting from the local knowledge and reputation that John Cox and his team have built over the years.

“This marks an exciting new chapter for Casa Group, enabling the group to expand while making sure Cox & Co’s clients continue to receive the same trusted service they have relied on.”
