Fourth Winkworth office for franchisee with Crystal Palace acquisition

Sean Doyle has owned the Winkworth Forest Hill and  Winkworth New Cross office franchises for the past eight years. He acquired Winkworth Beckenham  last year and now has taken over Crystal Palace, covering a popular movers’ route for young professionals as they head out to the suburbs, in search of more space and good schools.

Anthony Finn joins the team as head of sales and Adeyna McKinley-Waithe moves from the New Cross office to become head of lettings.  

Crystal Palace has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years, developing a village atmosphere with its Italian deli, cafes and independent shops, attracting families and a creative and arty crowd.  Links into London are excellent with London Bridge just under 20 minutes by train and fast connections to Shoreditch and the City on the East London Line.  One bed flats start at £250,000, a family house from £750,000 to large, detached period homes for up to £3m.

Sean Doyle, said: “Crystal Palace is a great area, still offering good value, and complements our Forest Hill,  New Cross and Beckenham offices as people move out to find homes to suit the next stage in their lives. I am delighted to be building such a successful business with Winkworth, a high profile brand with an excellent digital reach.”

Dominic Agace, Chief Executive of leading estate agents Winkworth, with over 100 offices nationwide, including more than 60 across the capital, said: “This is an excellent move for Sean and it is exciting to see his strategic expansion in an area of London which offers great opportunities for home buyers and investors.  We are always looking for entrepreneurial property professionals looking to  run their own business, with all the support we offer through our marketing, digital, professional and regulatory team at head office.”
