Jones Robinson has acquired the managed lettings portfolio of Marlborough-based Kate\u2019s Estates following the retirement of founder Kate Deakin, expanding the independent agency\u2019s presence across Wiltshire.<\/p>\n

The transaction transfers landlords and tenants previously managed by Kate\u2019s Estates to Jones Robinson, consolidating the firm\u2019s operations across Marlborough and the Pewsey Vale area. Kate\u2019s Estates, established in 2014, specialised in residential lettings and property management throughout Wiltshire.<\/p>\n

Continuity of service<\/h2>\n

Deakin, who brought over 20 years of industry experience to the business, selected Jones Robinson to assume management of her client base upon her retirement. The move comes as landlords face increasing operational complexity<\/a> in the lettings sector.<\/p>\n

Jones Robinson operates residential sales, lettings and property management services across Berkshire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire. The acquisition follows recent consolidation activity in the lettings market<\/a> as regulatory changes reshape the sector.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Charles Robinson, founder of Jones Robinson, said: \u201cWe are absolutely delighted to welcome the landlords and tenants of Kate\u2019s Estates to Jones Robinson. Kate has built a fantastic business with an excellent reputation and strong client relationships, and we are proud to have been chosen to continue looking after her clients going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deakin will work alongside Jones Robinson during the transition period. Emma Hawkings-Byass, previously employed at Kate\u2019s Estates, will remain involved with the portfolio alongside Jones Robinson\u2019s lettings team including Gabby Walker and Andy Escott.<\/p>\n

Deakin commented: \u201cLooking after my clients over the years has been a huge privilege, and finding the right business to continue supporting them was incredibly important to me. I am very pleased that Jones Robinson will be taking things forward and I know my clients will be in excellent hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Market implications<\/h2>\n

The acquisition reflects ongoing consolidation in the independent lettings sector as smaller operators exit the market amid regulatory pressures and compliance costs. The transfer of managed portfolios between agencies has become increasingly common as founders approach retirement age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
