Almost weekly there’s news of growth in the buying agency sector, tapping into the lucrative central London market. 

This week is no exception with Mark Hutton (former head of sales at Battersea Power Station) and Charlie Bubear (former director and head of sales for Savills Chelsea and Earls Court) joining the Hutton Bubear buying agency

If the names seem familiar, it’s because the buying firm was founded by their partners, Catherine Hutton and Alice Bubear. Mark and Charlie have a combined 45 years in the prime central London property market.

Also in London, one of the Countrywide high end brands - John D Wood & Co - has announced two senior appointments.

Jane Jenrick becomes head of lettings and Hayley Parnell is promoted to property management director.

Jane began her career in lettings 15 years ago and first worked in John D Wood & Co as a branch manager, working her way up the ladder. Meanwhile over the past year the property management business at the firm has undergone a radical overhaul led by Hayley.

Still in the capital Knight Frank has appointed Arya Salari as head of lettings in its Knightsbridge office. Arya, a partner in the firm, joined Knight Frank in 2017 as head of Marylebone lettings before heading up lettings in the Chelsea office in 2018.

Now let’s head west to the South Hams in Devon, where the Luscombe Maye agency has a raft of new appointments. 

A new director in its prime waterfront office in Salcombe is Theo Spink (left), who also oversees the Newton Ferrers branch. 

Other promotions include Alex Cowe (right), branch manager at Newton Ferrers; Nicola Teasdale, branch manager at Salcombe and Joanna Churchill, branch manager at Yealmpton.
