Chapplins Estate Agents, Havant
Established in 1996 Chapplins were a two office firm of Independent Estate Agents with offices in Bordon and Havant headed up by Martin Hodgson, William Newell and Kerry Applin.
In 2000 a third office was added in Cowplain to further strengthen their position. The year after, Network Homes (formed in 1991) and based in Waterlooville and Cosham with partners Andy Stroud and Jack Jamieson created an association with Chapplins to offer a professional letting and management service to compliment the already successful sales operation.
Next came Fareham in 2002 opened by Clive Bryant to bring the total amount of associated offices to 6. It soon became apparent that offices in both Cowplain and Waterlooville over-lapped so the offices were combined into a brand new office in Waterlooville town centre.
By 2004 the association between Chapplins and Network Homes had become so strong that the obvious move was to re-brand the Network Homes offices to Chapplins creating one of the largest Independent Estate Agents in the area.
