Nottinghamshire estate agency Gascoines has bolstered its lettings team with the appointment of Callum Holmes as lettings co-ordinator. 

With more than 10 years’ experience in residential lettings, Holmes joins the family-run agency as it continues to expand to adapt to the challenges currently facing the housing market. 

Recently, Gascoines says it’s seen a marked increase in people interested in letting properties with 11 per cent increase in rentals since last year and 3.2 per cent in last quarter alone.

Hines comments: “Residential lettings is a fast-paced industry and I was attracted to Gascoines’ great reputation as an independent, family-run business. Having seen some of the properties we have on offer in Southwell and its surrounding areas, I’m really looking forward to meeting and building rapport with new clients as we help them find their next home.”  

Luke Saywell, director of Gascoines, adds: “With mortgage rates at a 14-year high, renting is proving to be an increasingly popular option as people look to wait out the current volatility in the housing market. With our residential lettings team going from strength to strength as it is, we are perfectly placed to help those looking for a home to find the best rented property for them.”
