Fenn Wright extends commercial property presence with new office in Basildon
Fenn Wright is pleased to announce the opening of a new office in Basildon, Essex. As part of our ongoing expansion, the office at Phoenix Place will enable our Commercial division to continue supporting existing clients in the area, whilst serving as a base for establishing new relationships. The prime location also strengthens our presence in this key part of South Essex and the South-East.
John Logan MRICS, Partner at Fenn Wright commented “We are delighted to become part of the thriving business community in Basildon and look forward to assisting more local companies with their property requirements. This new office gives us the ability to respond to the needs of existing clients in and around Basildon, whilst allowing us to build relationships with new businesses in the surrounding areas such as Southend, the Thames Gateway and East London. Our Commercial division work closely with a broad range of clients, offering expert advice on sales, lettings, acquisitions, landlord and tenant matters and property management services.”
Opening this month, Basildon marks the twelfth office for Fenn Wright and is a strategic move following the firm’s longstanding and continued success in the commercial property sector in the major towns and cities of Chelmsford, Colchester and Ipswich.
Donald Barber MRICS, Partner added “Our team of Building Surveyors and RICS Registered Valuers undertake work throughout East Anglia and London, so Basildon is a natural step for us to strengthen our delivery of building surveying, project management and valuation services throughout the southeast.”
The office will be staffed by an experienced team led by John Logan MRICS, who joined Fenn Wright in 2016 and has successfully managed the commercial agency team in Chelmsford in recent years. John will be joined by Donald Barber MRICS, John Birchall MRICS and Louisa Howard Assoc. RICS. James Wright, Associate Partner, also joins the team and for consecutive years has been awarded ‘Most Active Dealmaker in Essex’.
In recent years, the firm has been recognised with several prestigious industry awards from Estates Gazette and Co-Star. Fenn Wright was named ‘Most Active Disposal Agent in the East of England’ in 2025 and received the ‘Regional Investment Agency Award’; the agency has also achieved two further awards for the disposal and acquisition of office space in Essex.
