Property management and surveying firm Scanlans has moved to new offices in Manchester city centre.
The firm has relocated from 75 Mosley Street to Boulton House on Chorlton Street.
It has taken 4,600 sq ft of space to house its 40-strong head office team.
Scanlans has taken a seven-year lease at Boulton House, whose landlord is Regional Properties.
The offices have been refurbished with new lighting, air conditioning and décor. A kitchen area and meeting rooms have also been fitted out.
Paul Westwell, a partner and head of commercial at law firm Bromleys, advised Scanlans on the relocation.
Scanlans operates a property management division which specialises in residential block management. Its portfolio includes Manchester developments Granby Village, Edge Street and Smithfield Buildings.
The firm also has a surveying consultancy with a focus on commercial, residential and retail property sites throughout the north west.
Scanlans also has offices in London, the Midlands and Yorkshire.
The Manchester move was handled by partner Ian Stanistreet, who heads its property management team in the city.
He said the relocation creates room for Scanlans to grow its head office team as the property market improves.
“Our management portfolio has continued to grow in size over the past few years and, as the property market improves, we are seeing an even greater level of activity for both our management and surveying divisions,” he added.
“We looked at several sites in Manchester before choosing Boulton House. It keeps us in the heart of the city, where we have been for many years, and enables us to provide continuity of service to our clients while having space to add to our team in line with market demand.”
Mr Westwell said: “It’s been a pleasure working with Ian and the team in completing this transaction.
“Having worked with Scanlans for several years, we were aware of the firm’s requirement for new office space.
“The office market in Manchester is highly competitive and we were pleased to assist Scanlans in securing these new premises to enable the firm to continue to expand.”
