BASINGSTOKE-based estate agent Sansome & George have goon back to its roots by opening a sales and letting office in Newbury.

The Sansome & George name goes back to 1978 when Roger Sansome and Richard George originally set up their first office in Newbury.

Whilst there have been many changes in the property market since 1978, Roger, in conjunction with his son David, have subsequently grown the Sansome & George network to include offices in Basingstoke, Tadley, Bramley, Mortimer, Kingsclere and Theale.

David, based at the firm’s Top of the Town offices, said: “The opportunity to return to Newbury was too good to miss as it holds an important place in our hearts and compliments our local network of six other offices superbly.

“With my father still actively involved in the day-to-day running of our lettings business, we are able to return, stronger and more established than ever, and bring our successful combination of personal customer service and great, multi office marketing to the people of Newbury.”

Delighted with the Newbury branch in Northbrook Street, Roger added: “Newbury is an important part of our history and now represents an important part of our future.

“Under David’s leadership our network of branches has grown and we are one of the largest independent estate agents in the west Berkshire and north Hampshire area.

“Whilst we fully embrace modern technology and marketing, we still believe strongly in our core value of putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.”
