Lomond has snapped up the lettings book of Vantage, a well-established agency operating in the London Docklands and Battersea.

Founded in 1994, specialises in managing London property investments for clients in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and claims to have been one of the first UK agencies to market off-plan developments to Hong Kong investors.

It will now become part of Chase Evans, which Lomond describes as its ‘London and international specialist brand, Chase Evans’.

Lomond chief revenue officer John Ennis says: “Vantage’s longstanding expertise in serving international investors, particularly from the Far East, aligns seamlessly with our commitment to exceptional client service. With Adam Holden of Chase Evans leading this transition, clients can expect the same high standards of professionalism and personal service, now backed by the enhanced capabilities of Chase Evans and the broader Lomond group. 

“Chase Evans’ established international footprint creates a natural synergy with Vantage, further strengthening our London presence. This acquisition forms part of our broader strategic approach to expansion, and we look forward to building on this momentum in the months ahead.” 

The outgoing chief executive of Vantage, Edwin Chiu, adds: “For nearly 30 years, we have supported our clients from Hong Kong and Shanghai in navigating the London property market, ensuring they maximise their investments. I take great pride in what we have achieved. 

“In transitioning our lettings portfolio to Chase Evans and Lomond, we are placing our clients’ interests at the forefront. This move ensures they will continue to receive high-quality, personalised service while benefiting from the enhanced resources of a larger organisation.”
