Gloucestershire estate agents Perry Bishop have bought Hardcastles, a long-established lettings and property management service specialising in rentals primarily in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, and Oxfordshire.

Based on Cirencester’s popular Black Jack Street – just around the corner from Perry Bishop’s Cirencester office – Hardcastles will continue to trade separately out of its existing office under the capable management of Daisy Alban-Jones.

Perry Bishop MD Phillip Bishop said: “We are thrilled to have been able to take over Hardcastles and look forward to building on their already brilliant reputation in the town and beyond. We welcome the opportunity to look after their landlords and tenants across a wide and diverse property portfolio.”

Daisy has been with Hardcastles for 16 years. She grew up in Cheltenham, but now lives in Tetbury with her husband and two young children in a house that they renovated themselves from top to bottom. When she’s not immersed in helping landlords find new tenants and tenants find a new home, she enjoys cooking and running – as well as watching her son play football and trips to Pony Club with her daughter.
