Winkworth is expanding further in north London, with a new office opening in West Hampstead – an area already flooded with estate agencies.

Winkworth West Hampstead is the third office for franchisee Neil Sloam, who runs the Maida Vale and St John’s Wood offices.

The West Hampstead office, which will be headed up by 31-year-old Jack Peet, adds to the plethora of estate agencies already operating in the local area; primarily along the main hub of West End Lane.

Paramount, Parkheath, Hamptons, Hunters, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, Abacus Estates, Alexanders Property Consultants, Dexters, and Dutch & Dutch, are just a few of the many well-established estate agencies in West Hampstead.

Sloam said: “Our new West Hampstead office means we now have a substantial presence in prime north London and a natural progression for us beyond St John’s Wood and Maida Vale. Jack has extensive experience in the West Hampstead, Belsize Park and Hampstead areas and a brilliant in-depth knowledge of the range of properties from studios to substantial period homes.

“We have had a strong lettings and management presence in the area for a number of years and we look forward to expanding this from our new office under the direction of Scott Sheldon, who has been running this side of the business for over 20  years from our St John’s Wood office.”

Dominic Agace, chief executive, Winkworth, with over 100 franchised offices nationwide, including 60 in London, added: “We are delighted that our long standing franchisee Neil Sloam is extending his successful presence in this part of prime north London to offer the high standards of service for which he is known in the area, with the support and added in-depth expertise of Jack Peet across the wider Hampstead area.”

“We are continuing our expansion in London and would like to hear from property professionals who want to own their own business, with the support of Winkworth Franchising and our nationwide network.”
