Two Witney letting agents, Springfield Property Rentals and Gatekeeper Property, have merged to form a new larger business.
The eight Springfield staff will be joined by another four, who are likely to be appointed soon.
Patrick Brady, managing director at Gatekeeper, said: "The size and scale of the new business means there will be some major cost savings due to economies of scale and we plan to plough that money into advertising and reduced fees for landlords."‘ Day-to-day management and running of the Witney office will pass to Mat Symons, sales director and co-founder of Gatekeeper.
