Station Street, Loughborough - INCL BILLS OPTION

Nick Humphreys has been an estate and letting agent in Loughborough since 1986.

Having started on a youth training scheme straight from school at the tender age of 16, Nick quickly moved through the ranks at Beardsley Theobalds and was offered his first managerial role by Armstrong Mather in 1988. This firm was subsequently acquired by Moore and York where Nick rose to the dizzy heights of equity partner by the time he was 27 years old.

Following the launch of his own student lettings business in 1999, which traded under the familiar red and yellow brand “Nicholas Humphreys“, Nick quickly expanded the firm into a full blown estate agency and a multi office business which, 21 years later, consisted of 27 offices across the United Kingdom with over 100 staff and was at that point managing over 6500 thousand houses and selling hundreds each year.

In April 2021 Nick agreed to sell the business to a PLC and now has completed the full circle back to a single office agency in the heart of his beloved Loughborough, from where he offers not only sales and letting for professionals but also a sophisticated student and property investment arm.

Nick is proud to be a pioneer in the buy to let market having bought his first student house at the age of 18.

To bolster the office, NH recently acquired the letting arm from NB estate agents and this has enabled NH to expand further into the professional lettings market. We currently manage approaching 600 houses as well as having an active residential sales department.

Nick has surrounded himself with directors and staff that have been with him virtually since the inception of the business including Naomi, Ben, Danni, Andy and Leanne who have managed to put up with him for over 20 years a piece…..Quite an achievement !

Louise Baum adds further depth of talent in management with over 15 years’ experience.

Key appointments include Nick’s ‘former rival now ally’…. David Foster who has been in the business for decades …..and has officially taken the title of ‘oldest agent in the office’. Joking aside David’s experience is well received by the younger members of the team! Nick’s son Henry (17) has started a full time apprenticeship in the business and has earned himself the nickname of the ‘Red let-ter’ on account of the colour of his hair and ability to let houses from day 1 – a natural !

Nick would invite all our clients old and new to contact him on 01509 260606 and looks forward to the next 35 years !
