Strutt & Parker has appointed Toby Downes as director in London, marking his return to the business after 13 years.
Downes will advise buyers and sellers across prime Central and South West London.
He joins from Haringtons, where he spent three years advising ultra-high net worth buyers in London, building up a strong contact book and supporting clients through the transaction cycle.
Before his time at Haringtons, Downes worked nearly nine years at Savills, helping to set up the super-prime development team and gaining experience with exclusive developments in the capital.
Downes said: “Returning to Strutt & Parker at this redefining point in the agency’s journey is very exciting.
“Strutt & Parker is known for exceptional client service, with a culture that aligns with my own approach.
“I’m delighted to be working with a talented network of agents at Strutt & Parker as we help our clients navigate an ever-changing marketplace.”
Claire Reynolds, UK head of sales at Strutt & Parker, said: “Toby has an exceptional reputation in our industry.
“He upholds the highest standards of service and has deep rooted relationships with his clients, coupled by his ability to achieve superb results even in more challenging markets.
“High-net-worth buyers expect comprehensive advice and support across the entire transaction process; Toby is a leading name in our sector to do this.”
Reynolds added: “We are thrilled that he has joined Strutt & Parker at this stage of our expansion.”
