Winkworth, leading franchisor of residential estate agents, has opened its 88th office, in Lewes.  This is the sixth new office in the UK this year, following earlier openings in Romsey, Bath and Northampton.

Dominic Agace, CEO of Winkworth PLC says:

“The inclusion of Lewes in the Winkworth network falls in line with our expansion plans into key towns across the south of England.  The new Lewes office naturally complements our existing operations in Tunbridge Wells and Brighton allowing us to expand our reach into East Sussex, and satisfying the increasing demand of our London clients looking to move to the area”.

Lewes is located in the county of East Sussex, set in the heart of the UK’s newest National Park – South Downs. The town offers an idyllic mix of pretty town houses, rural cottages and stunning farmhouses, typically attracting families looking for more space and open countryside, with London and Brighton within easy reach.

James Trimble, New Franchising Sales for Winkworth adds:

“As many people look to move from away from London, Lewes offers those all important transport lifelines that compliment the country charm and excellent quality of life, with access to some of the finest country homes in the UK. Being only 1hr10 by direct train to London, along with Gatwick and Brighton only a few miles away in either direction, Lewes offers the best of both world”.

Nick and Sarah Turck are the new franchisees of the Winkworth Lewes. Both have lived and worked around Lewes for several years and have extensive experience and knowledge of the area and the local property market. Along with the branch manager, Martin Hyre, who brings over 20 years of estate agency experience with him, the team will provide a combined sales, lettings and management service in and around the Lewes area.

Nick Turck, co-Franchisee of Winkworth Lewes, says:

“Our position in Lewes is perfectly placed to build on the successes of the Winkworth Brighton and Tunbridge Wells offices thus allowing us to sell effectively in Lewes itself, the surrounding villages and beyond into Mid-Sussex. Being part of a high quality brand of property professionals with an established network of offices, allows us to offer the highest possible level of service to our clients”.

The franchise in Lewes is located at 23 High Street, Lewes, East Sussex BN7 2LU.
