NEW PROPERTY management firm Inhabet has been launched in Yorkshire after it secured significan­t investment.

The business, formerly known as WSB Property Asset Management, has rebranded following its sale by Leeds-based parent company WSB Property Consultant­s.

WSB has operated a property management department within Yorkshire for more than 10 years.

Notable buildings within the portfolio include Munro House and The Leeming

Building, in Leeds city centre. A spokesman said: “The portfolio of commercial properties under management is predominan­tly focused on Yorkshire, although the business has grown its reach to include instructio­ns in Scotland in the north and south to properties in the Midlands.”

After securing the new investment­s, Alex Jowett, Managing Director of Inhabet, commented: “This is an exciting opportunit­y for the business.

“My new business partners and I are enthusiast­ic about the next chapter for Inhabet.

“Since taking control of the business in 2019, I have been keen to put my stamp on property management and the new investment will not only allow us to expand the business but to continue to innovate our processes and the services we provide to our clients.”

The new investment has been secured from Design Tonic, a commercial interiors firm, which have invested in the business to help expand the portfolio.

Inhabet will continue to manage the existing portfolio of commercial properties with Alex Jowett retaining his role as managing director.

Partner of WSB Property Consultant­s, Robin Beagley, explained: “The approach from Design Tonic presented an excellent opportunit­y to dispose of the property management arm and allow WSB to focus on our core business, namely investment, retail and office agency, developmen­t consultanc­y and valuation work.”

This is an exciting opportunit­y for the business. Alex Jowett, Managing Director of Inhabet.
