Rogers Stewart expands with acquisition of Neil Kaye Estate Agents in Hull

Reeds Rains franchise partner Rogers Stewart has acquired Neil Kaye Estate Agents on Newland Avenue in Hull.

The acquisition will create Rogers Stewart's ninth branch location and will see the business operate as Reeds Rains Hull Newland. It also includes the transfer of a significant fully managed lettings portfolio.

Rogers Stewart already operates seven Reeds Rains branches and one Your Move branch across Yorkshire and Teesside. The latest move builds on the group's growth in Hull and expands the service available to landlords, tenants, sellers and buyers across the city.

Building on a strong local legacy

Neil Kaye is selling the agency as he begins a well-earned retirement after more than 20 years serving the local community. He will remain with the business for a period to support a smooth handover to the Rogers Stewart team.

Paul Rogers, owner of Rogers Stewart, said: “We are delighted to be purchasing Neil Kaye Estate Agents, as Neil embarks on a very well-deserved retirement. He and his team have delivered exceptional service and he has left a great legacy within the local community.”

“There were lots of interested parties in acquiring the portfolio, and we are delighted that Neil felt Reeds Rains were best placed to continue his great work.” Rogers Stewart will welcome the agency's tenants, landlords, sellers and buyers to Reeds Rains, with a focus on a seamless transition.

This acquisition is reflective of their hard work and the exceptional service delivered to their clients across Hull and beyond. I wish Neil Kaye well for his hard-earned retirement once the smooth transition is complete.”
