Holmes, established 18 years ago by Andrew Willmer and Nick Kier, have underlined their 100 per cent commitment to the highest quality service with the launch of a new Town & Country service for homes in the prestige price ranges. Holmes, a leading agent in Bedford, has launched a new initiative that will give properties greater exposure than ever before.

A business venture with The Lane Group, pioneered by Huntingdon based Peter Lane & Partners has resulted in the formation of Lane & Holmes - a blue riband brand that concentrates on prestige homes in Bedfordshire. Lane & Holmes offers a distinctive, high-quality bespoke service to clients of a level never before available in the county.

The link-up means that members of the group will have access to London based buyers and investors and the opportunity of specially tailored colour advertisements in the London press plus exposure in national colour magazines and newspapers such as Country Life, Horse & Hound, The Sunday Times and The Sunday Express. Dedicated gallows style "For Sale" boards add an air of distinction to the on-site sales presence. Glossy colour brochures containing details of only the most prestigious properties are circulated to potential buyers. Vendors will have the opportunity of having their home featured at the top London property exhibitions.
