Along with Miles, I am in charge of the day to day running of F&C Christchurch. I initially trained as a Quantity Surveyor before entering the world of residential property sales, providing me a strong base for the technicalities of unique homes.

A self-proclaimed tech geek, I am highly analytical and have a complete understanding for the nuances of digital marketing strategies, along with a creative eye for property presentation.

Your home is usually your largest asset and selling luxury homes is not luck. It is a precision art enveloping elite level property presentation to invoke emotion in purchasers, especially videos and an in depth social media strategy. Exposing the home to the correct purchasers, Nationally and Internationally, and providing an all-encompassing level of service, with the right connections in the conveyancing and surveying sectors. Every piece of data can be tracked and proactive strategies designed and tailored to your home, to ensure I achieve the highest possible value for your sale.

I have over a decade of experience in the luxury property sector and since our inception, have grown Fine & Country Christchurch to become the top selling Estate Agent, for properties in excess of £1m, within our designated postcodes (BH23, BH5, BH6, BH7 and part of BH25), by some margin. I was born in Christchurch and have lived here my entire life, so have a brilliant understanding and passion for the local area. Who wouldn't want to live on the South Coast, with beautiful beaches and the New Forest on your doorstep?

In 2023 we were awarded with 'Best in the South West' at the Fine & Country annual awards. We were also one of eight nominated for 'Best overall operator in the UK.'
