Siddall Jones has been named the West Midlands’ top commercial property agent. The Birmingham-based property consultants handled almost double the number of deals of their nearest rival in the annual EG Radius On-Demand Rankings.
The firm, founded by Ed Siddall-Jones in 2012, notched up 156 deals including sales and letting – on average three a week – in 2021.
Siddall Jones has two offices covering the West Midlands region, in The Mint, Icknield Street, Birmingham, and with a Black Country focus, at King Charles House, Castle Hill, Dudley.
Managing director Ed Siddall-Jones paid tribute to all his staff who had helped achieve such an “outstanding result”.
“When Covid hit, we just knuckled down and got on with it. We have a young, energetic team who share an enthusiasm for commercial property and getting deals done for our clients. They all share in what is an outstanding result for us against all the big firms in the City and nationally.
“As well as deals done, we have also seen a significant increase in our management portfolio, including Whitehall House, the former Mucklow plc headquarters, which we acquired for £2.6 million and have been retained to manage.”
He highlighted major deals throughout the year including:
- A 160,000 sq ft sale of a freehold industrial unit in Stockport for £7.2 million
- A 70,000 sq ft letting of a new build warehouse in Smethwick at £500,000 per annum
- A 42,000 sq ft office sale in Erdington
- The former Bogie Shed building off St Pauls Square for £1.6 million
that had contributed to the huge total of 156 transactions.
And he said that as a result of continuing enquiries for space across all sectors, office, retail, leisure and hospitality, but particularly industrial, the firm is actively recruiting and looking for surveyors and valuers who share the enthusiasm of the current Siddall Jones team.
