Lomond has completed the acquisition of the lettings book of Vantage, a well-established agency operating in Docklands and Battersea.
Founded in 1994, Vantage has built a strong reputation over the past three decades, specialising in managing London property investments for clients based in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
As one of the first UK estate agencies to market off-plan developments to Hong Kong investors, CEO Edwin Chiu has successfully carved out a niche in this sector. With a significant portfolio of managed properties, Vantage’s influence and client base extends far beyond its immediate geography.
Lomond’s London and international specialist brand, Chase Evans, is well-placed to service these clients with established offices in Asia, notably Hong Kong and Singapore.
Lomond CRO, John Ennis, commented: “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.”
Vantage CEO, Edwin Chiu, commented: “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 organization.”
Adam Holden, managing director of Chase Evans, added: “Vantage’s business model makes for a natural fit with Chase, our specialist offering and our existing international client base. I am pleased to oversee this transition and welcome Vantage’s clients into the Chase Evans and Lomond network.”
“Our expertise in managing international property investments ensures we are well equipped to meet the evolving needs of investors in an ever-changing market. We look forward to demonstrating our commitment to excellence in the coming months.”
