Lomond Capital

What Lomond Capital does

Lomond Capital is a UK-based property services group that operates as the country's leading network of lettings and sales agents, structured as a platform-plus-acquired-brands architecture. Founded in 2010 and headquartered at 70 St. Mary Axe, London, under the legal entity Chianti Holdings Ltd., the company has grown through a roll-up strategy that acquires established regional property agencies and retains their local brand identities while providing centralized operational support. As of 2026, the network spans 12 regional brands — DJ Alexander, Linley & Simpson, Hardisty, Thornley Groves, Julian Wadden, John Shepherd, Chase Evans, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, Miles & Barr, Michael Jones, Brand Vaughan, and Charters — with 2026 acquisitions adding Clyde Property Group (Central Scotland, including Burgh Property and Cathedral Estates) and Homesure (Liverpool).

The company generates revenue primarily through transaction-based fees across lettings and estate agency services, serving residential property buyers and sellers, renters and landlords, and property investors. Lomond Investment Management, a wholly-owned specialist division, provides residential rental asset management services focused on single-family housing and build-to-rent assets, with its portfolio having doubled in size over the past two years. The company also runs an active acquisitions division partnering with property agency founders seeking exit while preserving brand continuity, and publishes the Lomond Quarterly Insights data-led market report. Underlying technology infrastructure is not explicitly disclosed; the company maintains a "Digital & Technology" function and operates a centralized platform supporting its distributed branch network.

Lomond employs between 251 and 500 staff and operates physical high-street branches across England, Scotland, and Wales through its subsidiary brands. Its go-to-market is sales-led and built on local presence combined with national scale, with customer acquisition occurring predominantly through walk-in, referral, and local brand marketing channels. The company has received external recognition including a 2026 UK Best Places to Work award in the Development category and inclusion in The Sunday Times Very Big Organisation category.
