A RURAL property agency is celebrating five years since the opening of one of its Tyne Valley offices.

youngsRPS, a leading firm in rural property and business consultancy, celebrated the fifth anniversary of the opening of its Hexham Mart rural office.

This milestone marks a significant achievement for the company and the local farming and rural business communities it serves.

The office is a testament to youngsRPS's commitment to providing tailored services to support farmers and rural businesses. As the second rural office to open in Hexham, it has played a vital role in facilitating transactions and consultations for those attending the livestock sales, fostering stronger relationships within the agricultural community.

Charles Raine, director of the Hexham Mart office, said: "The opening of our Hexham Mart rural office five years ago marked an important moment for youngsRPS and the communities we serve. It has allowed us to be more accessible to our clients, providing them with the expert advice and support they need to navigate the complexities of the rural property market."

The timing of the office's opening, just before the onset of Covid and amid significant changes in agricultural policy, underscores its strategic importance. The Hexham Mart office has assisted clients in adapting to evolving regulations and market dynamics.

The office offers services including property sales and lettings, valuations, grant and funding advice, and rural business consultancy.

The increased demand for youngsRPS services has led to the team's expansion. Katie Proctor joined in 2022 and the upcoming arrival of sandwich student Grace Symons will contribute to the team's strength and expertise.

Mr Raine said: “Although the rural industry has experienced some monumental changes in the five years that we have operated out of our Hexham Mart hub, we stay true to our pledge to address the ever-changing rural needs and issues our clients face.

"Five years on, our Hexham Mart rural office continues to be a hub of activity, serving as a vital resource for farmers and rural businesses in the region. We are immensely proud of the relationships we've built and the support we've provided to our clients over the years. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing to serve our community with dedication and integrity and addressing the ever-changing rural needs and issues our clients face."
