Our Heritage

We’re a company that’s been in property for centuries, ever since Thomas Hardwick set up his own property business in Leeds in 1833 and William Sanderson, a builder in Newcastle, started his business in managing estates and property in 1858.

Some 145 years later, their businesses had survived through the wars, experienced international success and acquired several other businesses, and in 2003 the two merged to become the name we are today; Sanderson Weatherall.

1833

Thomas Hardwick

The first recorded presence of Weatherall Green and Smith in Leeds dates back to 1833 when Thomas Hardwick set up his own business, becoming Hardwick, Best & Young in 1867 and Bramham & Gale in 1870. At a similar time, Joshua Bramham set up a business in rent collecting in 1843, which eventually developed into Hollis and Webb in 1919.
1858

William Sanderson

Establishing his business in 1858, William Sanderson began trading as a builder, slate merchant, joiner & cabinet maker from 17 Prudhoe Street and Lambton Place, before soon changing specialism to ‘managing estates and property placed in his charge’.
1869

Thomas B. Sanderson & Son

By 1869, William had agreed a partnership with his son Thomas Barkas and, now trading from Percy Street, the firm was known as Thos. Sanderson & Company, becoming Thomas B. Sanderson & Son in 1893. Described by the monthly property register as ‘estates and property agent, surveyors & valuers’, the business moved to 3/5 Mosley Street in 1894.
1969

Hollis Webb & Gale

After the war, Bramham & Gale and Hollis & Webb became active in commercial property and merged to form Hollis Webb & Gale in 1969, and later Weatherall Hollis and Gale, eventually becoming Weatherall Green & Smith in the early 1990’s. Weatherall's remained the largest and most prominent firm of chartered surveyors in Leeds, becoming larger still when, at first it acquired the business of Singleton's plant and machinery specialists of Manchester.
1973

Sanderson Townend & Gilbert (STG)

Sandersons’ remained at Mosley Street for another 81 years when in 1973 – and now known as Sanderson Townend & Gilbert (STG) following the arrival of partners William Townend in 1923 and Cecil Gilbert in 1937 – the firm moved to 2 Collingwood Street. On September 13th 1999, the business made its move to 22 – 24 Grey Street.
2003

The Merger

Sanderson Weatherall was formed on the merger of Weatherall Green & Smith (Leeds & Manchester offices) with Sanderson Townend & Gilbert (Newcastle, Teesside & London offices) in 2003.
2012

Our Bristol office was initially opened in 2012 solely providing Building Surveying and Valuation services to commercial real estate clients. Whilst developing the primary service lines we expanded the office to also include Agency, CPO, Development Consultancy, Expert Witness and Lease Consultancy and have grown from a 2-man team to 12 employees.
