Newman Estate Agent, Rugby Lettings
Newman Estate Agents was established in 1988 by Sean Newman in an office, which measured just 6ft wide. But a professional service combined with a hardworking attitude equalled a meteoric rise to the top and now Newman's are Coventry and Warwickshire's leading independent estate agents.
Newman's was formed following the take over of Garner and Co.
In 1990, when many estate agents were suffering due to the recession, Newman's was expanding the team and moving to larger premises on Regent Street in Rugby. It was at this time that the name of Newman Estate Agents was officially decided upon.
Newman Estate Agents wanted to offer a complete property service and so two new businesses were formed, Newman Financial Services and Newman Residential Letting. Both were immediate successes.
Having the ability to offer mortgages from all the major banks and building societies, advise on the most suitable mortgage and be open seven days a week, it made sense for buyers to keep their mortgage arrangements under one roof.
The residential letting side was equally successful. With many property owners facing negative equity or being unable to sell their property until prices picked up, letting seemed the logical answer.
