Lettings firm, Penyards Property Management, is celebrating its 27th anniversary this month.

One of Winchester’s bastions of privately-owned business, Penyards Property Management is the largest lettings agency in Winchester and is a regular fixture at the top of the Rightmove rankings for new instructions and number of properties listed. It has a 13-strong team, comprising lettings managers, property managers and lettings negotiators, with a combined century of experience. Established as an independent business in 1995, it manages over 500 residential units across the county, and offers Client Money Protection, access to the Property Ombudsman and membership of the primary lettings trade body, the The Association of Residential Lettings Agents.

Recently, Penyards Property Management appointed a new Associate Director, Mike Turner, to strategically plan for the firm’s continual growth over the coming years. With years of experience in the industry, stretching from Hampshire, Surrey and West London, Mike was the natural choice to lead the team into further success.

Mike commented: “I am sure the experience, professionalism and total focus on customer care will encourage even more landlords and tenants to use our professional, dynamic services.”

Its estate management business has grown considerably over the last year, with additional services in Winchester, Oxford and Clapham. Holding true to its value, “to exceed the expectations of our clients by offering the highest quality property management and letting service in Hampshire through encouraging the individual employee to realise their full potential”, Penyards has invested in three of its team to undertake their Property Management BTEC qualification through the Guild of Letting and Management, to further the firm’s service offering and ensure the team remains at the top of its game.

Reflecting on the secret to the company’s longevity, Alan Davis, Managing Director, said: “Our people are our most valuable and passionate asset. We believe the success of our business is down to our dedicated and knowledgeable staff. Many of the team are themselves experienced property investors, making them uniquely well-equipped to help our clients.

“Winchester and indeed the entire county has a strong sense of community. It’s what makes it a great place to do business and a great place to live.”
