Following the merger, Haslams Surveyors will work on a commercial property portfolio spread throughout the Thames Valley across Berkshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire with offices, industrial and commercial properties in areas of Reading, Bracknell, Basingstoke, Maidenhead, Slough, High Wycombe, Wokingham and Newbury.
