In a move that marks another exciting chapter in their growth story, Your Move Nolan Throw, a leading LSL Estate Agency Franchise with six branches across Northamptonshire, has expanded into Buckingham. This strategic move comes with the acquisition of the well-established lettings business, Open Doors.

A New Home in Buckingham

Open Doors, a respected name in the Buckingham property market with 135 managed letting properties, will now operate as Your Move Nolan Throw Buckingham. But for landlords and tenants, it’s business as usual—operations will continue seamlessly, ensuring the same high level of service they’ve come to expect.

This expansion is just the latest in a series of milestones for Sam Throw and Sean Nolan, the dynamic duo behind Your Move Nolan Throw. Over the past 12 months, they’ve opened new premises for Northampton Student Living and relocated their Abington branch. Now, with the addition of the Open Doors estate agency, they are bringing their market-leading estate agency services and customer-focused approach to an entirely new audience.

Lizzie Shillingford-Brand will stay on with the branch, moving across from Open Doors to Your Move Buckingham, she has over 8 years experience in the Buckingham housing market. Lizzie will be joined by Gemma Cunningham who will be moving into the Buckingham branch from the Northampton Group. Gemma is a Senior Sales & Lettings Negotiator with a wealth of pro-active experience in how the Your Move Nolan Throw franchise operates. 

A Vision for Growth

For Sam and Sean, the acquisition is more than just a business transaction—it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact in Buckingham.

"We’re thrilled to expand into Buckingham, a beautiful market town with a rich history,” said Sam and Sean. “Our lettings expertise will support both new and existing landlords, and we’re excited to expand the branch’s offerings to include residential sales and financial services. Plus, we’ll be introducing our student lettings proposition to meet the needs of student landlords in the area.”

Support from LSL Estate Agency Franchising

The expansion wouldn’t have been possible without the support of LSL Estate Agency Franchising and their Assisted Acquisition Programme. This initiative provides franchise partners like Sam and Sean with essential resources—from financial assistance to help identifying potential acquisitions, to navigating the integration process.

Hannah Gretton, Franchise Director at LSL Estate Agency Franchising, praised the acquisition:

“It was a pleasure to support Sam and Sean through our Assisted Acquisitions Programme. We’re excited about their ambitious growth plans and look forward to continuing our partnership. Your Move Nolan Throw is well-positioned to deliver outstanding customer service to Open Doors’ current landlords, ensuring a smooth transition while upholding the shared core values of both companies.”

Looking Ahead

As Your Move Nolan Throw establishes itself in Buckingham, they remain committed to offering top-tier services and expanding their presence across the region. With over 300 territories across the UK under the LSL umbrella—including Your Move, Reeds Rains, Intercounty, Davis Tate, and Thomas Morris—their future looks bright.
