A PROPERTY agency has been bought by a founding partner.

Toby Cockcroft has acquired DHP Croft, which has offices in York.

Launched in 2010, the company sells exclusive and higher end rural properties across Yorkshire.

Mr Cockroft said: "We will continue to work together on projects for clients and I'm looking forward to moving the business into new markets, including commercial property and land agency."

DHP will be rebranded as Croft Residential.
