A new chapter for Madison Brook. A new home for our agency clients.

After 15 years building one of London’s most respected residential agencies, we have sold that business to Chestertons and turned our full focus to public sector asset delivery and management. Here is what that means for our clients, our colleagues and our next chapter.

What has changed

In April 2026 Madison Brook completed the sale of its residential agency business to Chestertons. If you were a client of our agency, your service will continue seamlessly under the Chestertons brand, one of London’s largest and most respected estate agencies with 36 offices across the capital.

For everything related to residential sales, lettings or property management as a homeowner or landlord, please visit Chestertons directly at chestertons.co.uk.

What Madison Brook does now

Madison Brook continues as a public sector asset delivery and management partner. We work with local authorities, registered providers and private sector organisations to acquire, refurbish and manage residential and community assets across London and the South East.

Our focus is on bringing capital, construction capability and long-term asset management together in support of public sector housing programmes. If you are a local authority, LATCo, registered provider or private sector organisation looking for a delivery partner, you are in the right place.

Chestertons is a values-aligned business with a strong reputation and a clear commitment to service. We are confident they are the right custodian for what we have built.”

    Embedded in how we operate, not bolted on. Working across public sector assets and estates means the quality of delivery and management directly affects people's lives. That responsibility shapes everything sustainability, governance, and how we develop our team.
