H&M Properties has opened a new branch in Newport.

The firm is an established estate agent specialising in sales, lettings and property management with existing offices in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.

Daniel Hopkins, proprietor, said: "After viewing many units in different commercial areas of Newport, it was decided that Maindee would be the preferred area to open a new branch. It took a few months of hard work getting the branch ready but we opened for business last month.

"We wanted to be part of the exciting, ongoing regeneration that's taking place in Newport. Since opening the branch we have become involved with Maindee Unlimited to help with the continuing regeneration of the Chepstow Road/Maindee Area."

Joanne Adams, of H&M Properties, said: "I was born in Newport and up to the age of eleven lived within a mile of the new H&M Properties branch on Chepstow Road, so it's funny how I've ended up working in the area many years later. I have many fond memories of the area particularly swimming at Maindee pool. It's been interesting to see the changes in the area."

The new branch can be found at 145 Chepstow Road, Newport.
