Estate agent recruits sector veteran to strengthen Bath team

Estate agent Savills has announced the appointment of Christine Penny as a consultant in its residential sales team in Bath.

Christine has worked in the property industry for over 25 years, initially as a buying agent in London and France, before joining Hamptons in 1999 when she established its residential sales office in Bath.

She joins Savills from the Bath office of Sotheby’s International.

Christine specialises in buying and selling prime property within the city centre and its villages and countryside surrounds.

She said: “I have known several members of the Savills Bath team for many years and am delighted to get to work with them as colleagues. As part of this credible and successful team, and with the weight of the professional resources available at Savills, I know that I will be able to offer my clients, old and new, the highest quality service and global reach.

“Bath is both my home and my area of expertise, and it is a privilege to get to work with the best in the business here at Savills and within this wonderful World Heritage city.”

Alistair Heather, head of Savills Bath, said: “Our team comprises some of the most experienced residential agents within the business, and I am thrilled to have added further weight to it with the appointment of Christine Penny. Her client-base is exceptional, and her track record of buying and selling property in Bath is second to none – already she is proving invaluable.”

He added: “Despite the more challenging market conditions, last year was a very successful one for our team here in Bath, and we were delighted to secure some record landmark sales at the city’s most prestigious addresses. We are already enjoying a busy start to 2024 with an excellent list of properties to launch to the market.”
