Surveying firm expands with estate agency launchA County Durham property consultancy is broadening its services with the launch of a dedicated estate agency. Barnard Castle-based Jonathan Wallis will officially launch its new residential sales and lettings agency in September, adding estate agency services to its existing surveying and rural property offering. Alongside the new agency, Jonathan Wallis will continue providing its established surveying and rural property services from its Barnard Castle office. The firm says it has deliberately chosen a September launch to ensure its branding, systems and customer service are fully established before welcoming its first estate agency clients. “We believe trust, honesty and proper property advice should be at the heart of estate agency.”
