Around 60 guests and staff attended an evening reception last Thursday in Tavistock to celebrate the opening of Stags 21st Office and Tavistock Livestock Centre, following the firm’s acquisition of Ward and Chowen.

Andrew Luxton, Partner of Stags who spoke at the event commented “Ward & Chowen is an ideal fit for us and as a firm of Chartered Surveyors who have been operating in Tavistock for over 180 years they are a very welcome addition to Stags. The Ward & Chowen business includes a residential lettings portfolio, an Estate Agency office, a Professional Services team and also Tavistock Livestock Market, all of which Stags is experienced in and complement the services that we already offer.

The Tavistock office links with our adjacent offices in Okehampton, Launceston and Plymouth and establishes Stags as a leading agent for the area. Agriculturally the addition of Tavistock Market to our existing markets in South Molton and Honiton, will allow us to establish a new client base in the West along with our professional agency and on site sales departments.”

Pippa Stubbs AssocRICS MNAEA is the experienced estate agent who has taken over the helm and now manages the office. Pippa has lived locally for a number of years and actively competes with her horse on the eventing circuits around the West Country. Prior to relocating to the Tavistock office, Pippa was part of the successful Stags team in Launceston.
