Chris Holmes
Author of the Rotherham Property Blog
I am a long time resident of Rotherham and am Senior Manager in both Bricknells Rentals and Fenton Board Estate Agents.
On this blog I will share what is happening in Rotherham’s Property market, even looking at specific areas and housing estates.

The Rotherham Property Blog is brought to you in partnership with Bricknells Rentals – Rotherham’s top independent letting agent.
