Spicerhaart is thrilled to announce its latest milestone: the acquisition of butters john bee. Boasting 19 branches spread across Shropshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and the West Midlands, butters john bee stands out as one of the most profitable and well-established agencies in the North West.
This strategic move propels Spicerhaart's branch count to 200, with a workforce of 2,000 employees spanning England and Wales. Operating under renowned brands like haart, Darlows, Haybrook, Felicity J Lord, and Chewton Rose, Spicerhaart continues to strengthen its position as a leader in the real estate sector.
Paul Smith, CEO of Spicerhaart, expressed his excitement about the synergy between the two family-run businesses. He remarked, “Our two family-run businesses complement each other perfectly, providing the perfect opportunity to grow our branch network along the M6 corridor. We are delighted to welcome the bjb team into our family.
"As far as the customers and staff are concerned, it will be business as usual, but with additional telephone support outside normal working hours, from 8am until 10pm, for all our customers.
"We will also be introducing our highly successful ‘FLINK’ service, which enables more people to see properties for sale via social media. It’s amazing how many people go on to buy when they’re not even looking, just because they’ve seen the perfect property online.
"Further growth in our business is set to follow, underlining our confidence in the traditional model and our commitment to bricks and mortar offices, backed up by all the latest advances in digital technology."
With over 150 years of operation in the North West, butters john bee has garnered numerous accolades, including the ESTAS 2017 Best National and Regional Estate Agency and the Estates Gazette EGi Award for being Staffordshire’s Most Active Commercial Agent for four consecutive years.

The agency's offices span across Cheshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, and the West Midlands, offering a comprehensive range of services including residential sales, lettings, conveyancing, surveying, financial services, residential property auctions, and commercial property management.

Students from Sound and District Primary School buried a time capsule at a new housing development in Aston, near Nantwich. They aim to show future generations what life was like for children in the 2020s. The 31-family home Alderwood Gardens development is being built by Edgefold Homes and marketed by local estate agents butters john bee. Carlos Hernandez, butters john bee's New Homes Regional Sales Director, said, "It’s not every day that you get to be involved with creating a little bit of history for future generations and I was really pleased that we were able to arrange this between the developers and the school.” The students included items like a list of endangered animals, money, details about the royal family, and information about the Covid-19 pandemic in the capsule. They also added a map of the local area and details about their school, including a newsletter, lunch menu, and an erasable pen. Laura Minshall-Thomas, Headteacher at Sound and District Primary School, said, "“It was great to see how excited the children were when we asked them to put together the time capsule and they took care in making the choices to give a really good reflection of their school and the world around them.” Jack Seddon, Construction Director at Edgefold Homes, praised the students' thoughtful choices for the capsule. He said “It’s lovely to have the support of the community and local school here at Alderwood Gardens, I know the children have really thought about what to put in the time capsule and I do wonder what people in 100 years will make of it.” The development features three- and four-bedroom homes carefully designed for families.
