Franchise giant opens new London office with call for more

Franchise giant Winkworth is opening a new office in West Hampstead, extending its north London footprint from existing offices in neighbouring Belsize Park and Hampstead. 

Winkworth West Hampstead is the third office for franchisee Neil Sloam, who runs the Maida Vale and St John’s Wood branches. 

He says: “Our new West Hampstead office means we now have a substantial presence in prime north London and a natural progression for us beyond St John’s Wood and Maida Vale. We have had a strong lettings and management presence in the area for a number of years and we look forward to expanding this from our new office under the direction of Scott Sheldon, who has been running this side of the business for over 20  years from our St John’s Wood office.” 

Winkworth West Hampstead manager Jack Peet comments: “West Hampstead, Belsize Park and Hampstead may be neighbouring areas but they do attract quite diverse buyers. Belsize Park tends to appeal to midlife professionals and families with older children with its large period conversions and substantial houses, while Hampstead has international appeal for business entrepreneurs, city executives, as well as high profile personalities working in the arts, cultural and media worlds. I have also handled many moves within the three areas to reflect different stages of people’s lives.” 

Winkworth’s chief executive, Dominic Agace, adds: “We are delighted that our long standing franchisee Neil Sloam is extending his successful presence in this part of prime north London to offer the high standards of service for which he is known in the area, with the support and added in-depth expertise of Jack Peet across the wider Hampstead area. 

“We are continuing our expansion in London and would like to hear from property professionals who want to own their own business, with the support of Winkworth Franchising and our nationwide network.”
