The deal marks another step in the company’s regional growth strategy, with the portfolio set to be managed under Lomond’s Yorkshire flagship brand, Linley & Simpson.
Established in 2012, Right Let Leeds has grown organically to become one of Headingley’s leading estate agents. Founded by Ross Munro and Maani Zakikhani, Right Let Leeds was built on a clear vision: to fill a gap in the market for an agency that truly partners with landlords, caring for each property as if it were their own. Having both studied and lived in Leeds for over twenty years, Maani and Ross have an in-depth understanding of the student rental market, as well as the demands of professional portfolio lettings. Under Lomond’s ownership, and with the expertise and credentials of Linley & Simpson, landlords can expect the same high standard of service to which they are accustomed.
Lomond’s acquisition of Right Let Leeds underscores the company’s strategy of joining forces with market leaders. The deal not only strengthens Lomond’s presence in the region but also rounds off a successful year for Linley & Simpson, positioning the company for an even stronger 2026.
