Forty Eight Estates Joins Forces with Orchards

We’re excited to announce that Forty Eight Estates and Orchards have officially joined forces in a strategic merger that strengthens our shared commitment to delivering personal, professional, and proactive property management across Bedfordshire and beyond.

This partnership is about more than growth—it’s about synergy. Jennifer Collins MARLA, founder of Forty Eight Estates, brings her passion for lettings, ARLA accreditation, and loyal managed portfolio to Orchards, stepping into the role of Head of Lettings.

Together, we’re blending small agency service with big agency capability. Clients will benefit from stronger systems, more robust compliance oversight, and a full lettings team delivering consistent communication and results.

As Orchards continues to grow, this merger helps cement our place as one of the region’s most trusted and forward-thinking independent agencies.

Here’s to the next chapter—stronger together
