Fine & Country Launches New Franchise in Stockport and Saddleworth
Fine & Country has appointed James Diggins to lead a new franchise covering Stockport and Saddleworth in Greater Manchester. The move is part of the premium estate agency network’s ongoing expansion across the UK property market.
Diggins began his property career in 2001 with an independent estate agency in Ramsbottom and established his own business in 2016. His company has received multiple awards for service and communication standards. The appointment comes as Diggins’ core business approaches its tenth anniversary in 2026.
Fine & Country stated that the new franchise will focus on the upper quartile property sector in the region. The company aims to increase its listings in this segment, leveraging the area’s proximity to Manchester and its semi-rural appeal.
Nicky Stevenson, Managing Director of Fine & Country, confirmed Diggins’ appointment and highlighted his experience and client-focused approach. The company will support the development of the Stockport and Saddleworth operation as part of its broader network expansion.
Fine & Country operates as a franchise network, with licences covering specific geographic territories.
