Property firm named region 's top dealmaker

A commercial property agent has been named as the West Midlands ' top dealmaker.

Birmingham-based Siddall Jones 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 region - in The Mint, Icknield Street, Birmingham, and at King Charles House, Castle Hill, Dudley.

Managing director Ed Siddall-Jones (pictured) said: “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 ft2 letting of a new build warehouse in Smethwick at £500,000 per annum, a 42,000 ft2 office sale in Erdington and the former Bogie Shed building off St Pauls Square for £1.6 million.

These contributed to the total of 156 transactions.
