Symmetry Corporate Finance are delighted to announce our latest transaction, advising the shareholders of Sebastian Roche on the sale of the business to Dexters – London’s leading Estate & Lettings Agent.


Symmetry provided Sebastian Roche with a full-service advisory, marketing and transaction management service, which resulted in a number of offers for the business. Dexters was identified as the best strategic partner to take Sebastian Roche forward as part of the wider group, while maintaining the community ties that have made the business a success over the years.


The acquisition adds two new branches to Dexter’s fast-expanding London network, who have entered into ‘partnerships’ with the alignment of Peter James with Sebastian Roche who provide sales, lettings and new homes services.


Established in 1998, Peter James has offices in Blackheath, Lee, New Cross and Brockley whilst Sebastian Roche, established in 2000, has offices in Forest Hill and Lewisham.

Dexters also recently joined forces with one of south east London’s oldest established and most famous estate agents, Roy Brooks.


Dexters, which plans further expansion in the coming months, has maintained consistent growth, increasing revenue at about 15% per year over the last 10 years with turnover reaching £109m in 2020.


Andy Shepherd, CEO of Dexters, said: “The new partnership with Sebastian Roche will strengthen our market presence in south and south east London. We have long been an admirer of the business which have excellent local market knowledge and talented staff, who we very much look forward to working with.


“Dexters has a distinctive approach to the industry combining a strong local presence, hard work and “feet on the ground” approach.


“This combination has made us the market leader in London for sales, lettings, and property management. We have the resources to free up the local offices so they can focus fully on their clients and their property needs.”


Rob Whimperley-Dixon & Daniel Maifredi, Directors of Sebastian Roche said “We are grateful to the team at Symmetry for managing the whole process for us. Being owner-operators of a business, we needed an advisor we could trust and rely on to drive the process forward and deliver the results, advice and support we needed throughout. Symmetry fit the bill”


Jonathan Tate, Managing Director or Symmetry commented “We are delighted for Rob & Daniel, they are now able to transition to the next chapter of their lives, confident in the knowledge that the Sebastian Roche team and clients are in the best possible hands as part of the Dexters group.”
