A FATHER and son duo have taken over at the Bishopthorpe Road branch of Hunters estate agents.

The York-headquartered national agency has welcomed new franchisees Gary and John Romans, both of whom have worked with the Hunters brand before.

John has spent five years as a sales valuer and negotiator at Hunters York, the founding branch of the growing national network, while Gary operated two other franchised offices between 2010 and 2016.

John Romans said: “I have been with Hunters in York since 2011 and I can honestly say I love the city. I have a wealth of knowledge of the area having lived off Bishopthorpe Road and worked in the city for five years. Both Gary and I are looking forward to ensuring we have happy home movers throughout the Bishopthorpe Road and Tadcaster Road areas.”
