Property Industry Eye Features Partridge Homes

Partridge Homes has been featured in Property Industry Eye, one of the UK’s most respected trade publications for estate agents, letting agents and property professionals. The piece, published in the title’s well-read Comings & Goings section, highlights two significant new appointments at the Birmingham and Solihull based estate and letting agency — and signals a major step forward for the business as it prepares to launch a dedicated Block Management division.

Why the Feature Matters

Property Industry Eye has built its reputation on independent, unbiased reporting for the residential property sector. Being featured in its pages is not something agencies seek through advertising — it is earned through genuine news. For Partridge Homes, the recognition reflects a business that is growing with purpose, not simply growing for the sake of it.

The appointments and the upcoming service expansion are, taken together, a clear statement of intent from a family-run agency that has been quietly building one of the strongest reputations in the West Midlands since it was founded in 2007.

Two Key Appointments

The Property Industry Eye article centres on two new hires, each bringing a depth of experience that directly supports Partridge Homes’ plans.

Nicola Hall joins the business after 21 years at Scanlans Property Management, where she developed extensive expertise in block management. Her appointment is specifically tied to the launch of the new Block Management division, and her knowledge of the sector — its regulatory requirements, its day-to-day demands and the expectations of freeholders and leaseholders alike — will be central to how that service takes shape. You can read more about Nicola’s appointment on our website.

Sarah Bannister arrives from Martin & Co Solihull, bringing solid residential lettings experience and strong local market knowledge. Her addition strengthens the existing lettings team at a time when the business is seeing some of its strongest growth figures since it was established.

Both appointments were made deliberately, not reactively. Partridge Homes has been consistent in its view that the right people must come before the right services — and these hires reflect that approach.

Preparing to Launch Block Management

The new block management division has been in development for some time. Over recent years, the agency has received a steady increase in enquiries from developers, freeholders, resident management companies and leaseholders looking for a reliable alternative to volume-driven managing agents. The consistent thread running through many of those conversations has been frustration — with poor communication, inconsistent maintenance standards and a sense that their building is simply a number on a spreadsheet.

Partridge Homes has taken a measured approach in response. Rather than launching quickly, the team has focused on recruiting the right people, building the right processes and setting clear expectations about the kind of service the division will offer.

The firm has been clear that it is not looking to take on hundreds of buildings. The focus will be on quality over quantity — hands-on management, clear communication and properly maintained buildings. As the agency puts it, service comes before profits.

The Block Management division is scheduled to begin operating in Q4 2026, with the firm’s own website and multiple industry sources — including PropertyWire and The Negotiator — all pointing to an autumn 2026 start.

The Bigger Picture

The Property Industry Eye feature arrives at a point when Partridge Homes is performing strongly across the board. The first four months of 2026 represented the agency’s best start to a calendar year for new lettings since it was founded — a notable milestone for a business approaching its twentieth year.

Here is a quick snapshot of where Partridge Homes stands today:

Alongside its core lettings and property management work, Partridge Homes has also become one of the West Midlands’ leading specialists in Sports & Entertainment relocations, supporting professional athletes and their families in finding suitable homes across the region.

What This Means for Clients

For existing clients — landlords, homeowners, investors and developers — this period of growth changes very little about the day-to-day experience of working with Partridge Homes. The agency’s commitment to responsive, honest and knowledgeable service remains the same.

For freeholders, leaseholders and resident management companies who have been looking for a better option in Birmingham or Solihull, the launch of the Block Management division later this year opens up a genuine alternative — one built on the same values that have driven the lettings business for nearly two decades.

The Property Industry Eye feature captures a business at a significant point in its development. The appointments are real, the preparation is real, and the direction is clear.
