LSL Property Services
LSL Property Services operates the Your Move and Reeds Rains estate agencies as well as e.surv Chartered Surveyors.By 1989, GA Property Services, latterly trading as General Accident Property Services (GAPS), owned 69 estate agencies and in 1995, the surveying division of GAPS became a separate company – GA Valuation and Survey (GAVS).[3] Following the merger of CGU plc with Norwich Union to form Aviva in 2000, Your Move and e.surv Chartered Surveyors were declared non-core to the insurance business and were the subject of a management buyout, backed by Equistone, under a new company, Lending Solutions Limited, in July 2004.[7] In October 2006, the company underwent a rebranding exercise, changing its name from "Lending Solutions Limited" to "LSL Property Services."[8] The company went on to acquire Halifax Estate Agencies Limited ('HEAL') from Lloyds Banking Group for a nominal consideration of £1 in October 2009.
