Mon, 03 Nov 2025 | MERGER
Established Norfolk-based estate agency Sowerbys has expanded with the acquisition of a local firm. The company, which has nine offices across the county, has announced a merger with King’s Lynn-based independent estate agency Norfolk Lettings, following the retirement of its owner.
Outgoing owner Rosie Miller had led Norfolk Lettings for 13 years, serving tenants and landlords across West Norfolk. Following her retirement, Miller has been praised for establishing Norfolk Lettings as a trusted brand in the local market, with the firm known for its professionalism, local approach and personal care.
Following the merger, Norfolk Lettings’ portfolio of rental properties will be taken over by Sowerbys, with all future lettings and property management services being handled from the company’s office in King’s Lynn at Bank Chambers, on the Tuesday Market Place.
Sowerby Operations Director Ed Tyman commented: “We were delighted to be asked by Norfolk Lettings to take over the management of their loyal customers’ rental properties.”
"After initial conversations, it was clear that Norfolk Lettings and Sowerbys are perfectly aligned and share the same values. We look forward to continuing the great service offered by Norfolk Lettings and supporting customers moving forward.”
Lloyd Sandy, managing director, added that Rosie Miller had “built a remarkable business founded on trust, integrity and personal service”, and said: "Our aim is to not only preserve what has worked so well locally, but enhance it further by offering the strength of our team and network across Norfolk."
Sandy added that Norfolk Lettings’ clients could expect to receive the same levels of support and service that they always had, but “now backed by the scale, resources and expertise of Sowerbys.”
