Midlands based Property Professionals, Balfours has maintained its steady and consistent growth by its focus on providing exactly the services existing and new clients ask for.   Speaking at the annual meeting of Balfours, partner Jonathan Lovegrove-Fielden said that the company had enjoyed a fruitful year in difficult times, and was now delighted to announce the firm's merger with Herefordshire based surveyors Berringtons, increasing the depth of knowledge and experience within the company through the West Midlands, the Marches and Mid-Wales.

Mr Lovegrove-Fielden explains: "By joining forces it enables both businesses and more importantly our clients to benefit from the pooling of professional skills, resources and trading area. There is no doubt that greater strength is achieved through unity and efficiency."

Today the Balfours team, who are best known as land agents and for residential sales, offer planning, building surveying, sales and lettings; together with farm, grant, equestrian and commercial advice. Sister company, BECL, champion's renewable energies and environmental issues, from asbestos to waste disposal and ecological surveys.  

"Property is for most people and businesses their greatest capital asset. At Balfours we have the skills base and enjoy the challenge of creating value for our clients.  To say we are in property is a modest understatement, during the year we have planned and hosted the Weston Park V pop festival; undertaken energy audits and installed Wind turbines and successfully gained planning permission where others have failed. Our lettings department has recorded its best year ever," he adds.
