Surrey: Vail Williams continues growth with latest acquisition

Vail Williams has bought agent New Ballerino as part of a busy period growing its operations across the south. New Ballerino is a Surrey-based specialist in property acquisitions and disposals.

Vail Williams said Chertsey-based New Ballerino brings with it a niche client base focused around Surrey and the Home Counties.

It added: "The addition of the team will strengthen Vail Williams’ existing business space offering in this area, whilst complementing the firm’s full-service property advice which includes property valuation, planning and lease advice, investment and development expertise, as well as property asset management and occupier consultancy."

New Ballerino will join the Surrey-based Vail Williams team at its office in Woking, whilst maintaining their established presence in Chertsey.

The news comes at a busy time for Vail Williams which earlier this year merged with Solent-based property consultancy Hughes Ellard.

It also bought the general rating division of Ruddle Merz in 2017, and business rate specialists Bisset Moffatt Hill, in 2016.

The acquisition completed on November 30 and brings total staff at Vail Williams to over 160 based across its eight offices in Birmingham, Crawley, Woking, Heathrow, London, Portsmouth, Reading and Southampton.
