BJB managing director James Beardmore said: “This is a very exciting time for us.

“Both firms are award-winning and we will be sharing best practice across both organisations.

“We will also be introducing our highly successful ‘FLINK’ service, which enables more people to see properties for sale via social media.

“It’s amazing how many people go on to buy when they’re not even looking, just because they’ve seen the perfect property online.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
