Partridge Homes strengthens lettings team with third appointment amid record rental growth

The business agreed close to 40 new rentals in September 2026 alone. With more than two months of the year remaining, its total for 2026 has already surpassed previous annual records.

Katie’s appointment follows the arrival of Nicola Hall and Sarah Bannister, strengthening the team supporting landlords and tenants across Birmingham, Solihull and surrounding areas.

She brings experience from both healthcare and property. Having previously held a senior position in the healthcare sector, Katie developed skills in administration, auditing and working closely with people before moving into estate agency and lettings with a corporate business.

Her responsibilities at Partridge Homes include preparing inventories, carrying out property inspections and liaising with landlords and tenants. Her work will support accurate recording of property condition, early identification of concerns and clear communication throughout tenancies.

Charlotte Partridge, Managing Director, said:

“We are continuing to report record numbers of rentals, with close to 40 new rentals agreed in September alone. Our performance in 2026 has already made this our strongest year since we started trading in 2007.

“That growth has to be supported by investment in the right people. Katie is our third appointment to the lettings team since May, and each addition helps us maintain the personal service and attention to detail our landlords and tenants expect.

“Katie brings a great combination of organisation, experience and a warm approach to people. We are delighted to welcome her to the team.”

The agency is also preparing to launch residential block management in January 2027. The new service will build on its existing property management experience, with Nicola Hall bringing more than two decades of specialist experience from her previous role at Scanlans Property Management.

Charlotte added:

“Residential block management is an important next step for us. We have received enquiries over the years from freeholders and leaseholders, but wanted to have the right people and experience in place before launching.

“Nici’s experience has been a major part of that preparation. We want to bring the same care, clear communication and accountability to block management that our clients expect from our existing services.

“As we approach 20 years in business, we are proud to be growing our team and services while keeping the family-run, personal approach that has been central to Partridge Homes from the beginning.”

Founded in February 2007, Partridge Homes operates from offices in Shirley, Solihull, and Yardley, Birmingham. The business provides residential sales, lettings and property management services and will celebrate its 20th anniversary in February 2027.
