New accolade is secured by Leamington property firm

ehB Reeves, in Clarendon Place, has secured the accolade of the UK’s top-performing company for disposing of the highest percentage of its property portfolio.

The company was given the top ranking by the NovaLoca Disposals Report 2020, published by commercial property search firm NovaLoca,

The rankings, based on firms with an initial portfolio of at least 25 properties, show that ehB disposed of 53 per cent of its real estate in the three months to December 1, replacing 32 per cent of them.

ehB Reeves was formed in 2018 by a merger between Leamington-based companies ehB Commercial and Reeves and Partners and the firm now has a growing management portfolio that is valued at more than £100 million.

Director Simon Hain said the success was due to his team responding efficiently and diligently during Covid-19.

He said: “Out of adversity, you sometimes see a positive and proactive move to start new business as they relaunch and adapt and that is what has happened this year.

“This has translated into an excellent uptake of commercial properties covering our areas of expertise.

“We have been very much open for business throughout the pandemic and haven’t used it as an excuse to sit back and wait for the market to improve.

“We put ourselves out there to help and advise, often going beyond the remit as a commercial property agent. That has paid dividends, earning the trust of landlords and tenants in difficult times.

“It is in all our interests to allow businesses to succeed rather than squeezing the last pound out of a deal at the expense of longevity and success.

“There has been an element of pent-up demand which translated into transactions following relaxation of the first lockdown.

“But whichever way you analyse the figures, this is a superb result for ehB and one which reflects very well on the hard work of our team, often in the most trying of circumstances.”
