A brand of The Property Franchise Group has snapped up another independent agency.

Whitegates in West Yorkshire has acquired local firm Harvey & Ryall Estate Agency.

The acquisition forms part of the long-term growth strategy for local franchisees Chan Khangura and Kashmir Khangura.

Harvey & Ryall’s portfolio will now be integrated into the established Whitegates operation.

Chan Khangura – managing director of Whitegates Huddersfield, Brighouse, Mirfield and Pontefract – says: “Harvey & Ryall has built an excellent reputation within the local market, and Keon and Emma have developed strong, long-standing relationships with their clients. 

“Our priority is to ensure a smooth transition while maintaining the personal service their customers value. This acquisition further strengthens our presence across the region and supports our continued ambition for sustainable growth.”

Rob Smith, group managing director of The Property Franchise Group, adds: “Chan and Kashmir continue to demonstrate the value of a clear, long-term acquisition strategy. Their ability to identify high-quality local businesses and integrate them successfully into their operation is a testament to the strength of their team and their reputation within the market.”
