A team of Leeds property figures have established a niche property firm, Propstone, in response to market demand for property in the north of England.
Headed up by former Knight Frank partner, Philip Speight, Propstone combines the expertise of GMI Property’s managing director Chris Gilman and partners from Crowther Turnbull Booth, Andrew Crowther and Chris Booth, who all identified a need for a standalone property management firm.
Propstone is marketed as a property management service which combines the technological capabilities of a larger, multi-disciplinary practice with a dedicated personal service.
In addition to managing GMI Property’s existing portfolio, Propstone will work with property companies across the north of England to enhance portfolio value and work on all aspects of property management.
Speight said: “Investor interest in the regions continues to strengthen and as a result, in addition to increasing activity from established investment firms, we are continually witnessing new entrants to the market with property and facilities management requirements.
“As such, now is an opportune time to establish a niche operation to offer a dedicated, innovative service.”
Propstone’s head office is at 41 Paul’s Street in Leeds city centre.
