1993
Celebrating 10 years of Frank Farr residential lettings from Jeffrey
Milner Property Management to Frank Farr & Sons, then part of
The Leeds Permanent Building Societ (Property Leeds UK) to the Halifax
era - Halifax Estate Agencies.
Here in
1997 using both the Frank Farr brand and the Halifax
to show the numerous local offices that a client's property could
be marked through, including Halifax Property Services
in High Wycombe and Hazlemere (formerly Stuart Newman and Partners
later to become The JNP Partnership) and Gale
& Power in Staines.Philip Suter set up the Frank Farr
letting offices and in late 2001 set up the letting office for The
JNP Partnership

When Frank
Farr & Sons was bought by The Leeds Permanent Building
Society (Subsidary Property Leeds UK Ltd) they
retained the estate agents names they had bought - Frank Farr,
Gale & Power, Eddisons, Allsop Cottons etc.
The Halifax with their Halifax Estate Agencies
Ltd (Heal) decided to re-brand the majority of well known
names like Stuart Newman and Partners in High Wycombe
as Halifax Property Services.
The Halifax
took over the Leeds Permanent, however by this time
they realised the importance of local brand names and the original
names retained by Property Leeds remained. Several of
the estate agents and surveyors like Eddisons and Allsop
Cottons (later Cottons) arranged management buy outs.
The
JNP Partnership in the High Wycombe area of Bucks had be re-born
again from the old Stuart Newman and Partners and they
took over offices in Hazlemere, Prestwood and Princes Risborough from
Halifax Property Services and re-branded as The
JNP Partnership. Frank Farr in Beaconsfield also became one
of these management buy outs via Philip Suter and associates trading
first as Tennysons
then
Aitchisons.

The remainder
of Halifax Estate Agencies were sold to LSLi Property
Serrvices who now own the JNP Partnership and
numerous other firms of estate agent. The majority trading with their
original names, although a lot of their agencies trade as Your
Move. There is still one final branch of Frank Farr
in existence in 2018 in Langley, Berks. (originally 8 branches) It
is not in the same location as the old one, but a few shops further
along. It trades as Your Move Frank Farr.
