Arun Estates, one of the largest independent estate and lettings agency in the south of England comprising Cubitt & West, Douglas Allen, Pittis and Wards of Kent, has completed their purchase of Maidstone’s Philip Jarvis.
Arun Estates says it is keen to keep things very much business as usual — both staff and customers will see very little change.
Group managing director, Aldo Sotgiu, said: “We are regularly offered acquisition opportunities and the possibility to acquire Phillip Jarvis really caught our attention. Our overriding priority is only to consider opportunities that match our values, and it immediately became clear that Phil and Faye had built a business that closely aligns to Arun’s values of helping customers, and the mix of letting and sales was an attractive proposition.
“Our mantra has always been to keep things simple and, with a business as good as Philip Jarvis, our intention is to keep things very much business as usual — both staff and customers will see very little change. It’s important to us that we maintain the name and reputation of Phil Jarvis, and we are looking forward to working with the excellent team and to continue helping customers in Maidstone, Lenham and surrounding areas.
“We wish Phil and Faye the very best for the future and they can rest assured the business is in safe hands.”
Aldo added: “This acquisition, along with the opening of our Sittingbourne lettings office in the last few weeks, has provided a great start to 2025, and we remain interested in other opportunities that may come our way”.
