Latimer Hinks Building Commitment to Darlington
Latimer Hinks has reinforced its commitment to the town following a substantial investment in its offices and staff facilities.
The most recent phase of the refurbishment undertaken by 186 Property Solutions, created a modern breakout area for its 50+ strong team.
It included the installation of a high-spec kitchen, while previous work focused on ensuring its Priestgate headquarters were modernised whilst respecting its historic character and heritage. The final phase, involving the last remaining offices, is scheduled for completion early next year.
The updates encompassed meeting rooms, the boardroom, reception area, washrooms, and office spaces, as well as the basement and archive vaults.
This latest investment follows the law firm’s 2022 expansion into Coniscliffe House on Coniscliffe Road, to accommodate its growing team.
“Darlington is part of the fabric of Latimer Hinks, and we are proud to continue investing in our town and staff. Choosing a Darlington-based firm like 186 Property Solutions to carry out the work also underlines our dedication to supporting local businesses and the community that we’ve been a part of for over 130 years.”

Mike Besterfield, a Director at 186 Property Solutions, a commercial contractor specialising in the refurbishment, renovation, and enhancement of commercial properties, said: “Working with Latimer Hinks on this project has been a fantastic opportunity to showcase our expertise in creating high-quality commercial spaces.
“One of the key challenges of the project was working within a very old building constructed across various levels. Despite these complexities, all works were completed while the building remained fully operational.”
