Fine & Country Appoints James Diggins to Lead New Stockport and Saddleworth Licence

Fine & Country has appointed James Diggins to head its new licence covering Stockport and Saddleworth. The move expands the premium estate agency’s presence in Greater Manchester.

James Diggins is described as a highly experienced property professional, having entered the industry in 2001 with a leading independent estate agency in Ramsbottom. In 2016, Diggins launched his own business, which has since received multiple awards for service and communication.

According to the report, Diggins specialises in the sale of distinctive homes across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and beyond. He is known for a client-first approach and innovative marketing strategies. The launch of the new Fine & Country licence coincides with the tenth anniversary of Diggins’ core business.

Fine & Country’s Managing Director, Nicky Stevenson, welcomed Diggins to the network, highlighting his experience, passion for the industry, and commitment to clients. Stevenson also noted Diggins’ local knowledge and ambitious plans for the business.

The new licence aims to increase Fine & Country’s listings in the region and raise the company’s profile in the upper quartile of the property market. The Stockport and Saddleworth area is noted for its proximity to Manchester and semi-rural location.

This development is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring premium property market activity and agency expansion in Greater Manchester.
