Damage caused by a fire has forced an estate agent in Hitchin to move to a temporary office.

A blaze broke out at the Connells branch in High Street last month, spreading through the basement and the ground floor.

A temporary office has been found staff who are continuing to work as normal, with hopes they will soon be back in their usual space.

"Connells Hitchin had an out of hours fire mid-October, which caused damage to the basement and ground floor of the building," said a Connells spokesperson. 

"All our customers are being regularly updated, and our branch staff are operating business as usual from a temporary office in Hitchin whilst we are in the process of reinstating the premises."
