Can you tell us more about your role as Head of the Marylebone, Fitzrovia & Bloomsbury Residential Office?

I work with a team of 12 talented individuals at our Marylebone office, where we provide both sales and lettings services. We are essentially an independent local estate agent with the benefit of a global brand and network behind us helping access all corners of London, the UK, and International markets. I work closely with the Knight Frank’s New Homes teams, helping with the marketing and selling of Marylebone and Fitzrovia’s finest new developments. 

What makes a property stand out from the crowd to you?

This is a great question, as I have been very fortunate to see countless incredible properties and a huge variety of styles in my 15 years of experience. I would summarise 3 key elements: Inspiring architecture, whether it is a listed classic, or a contemporary masterpiece, you simply must have great fundamentals. Good light, large windows, high ceilings and layouts. 

How does a property benefit from being dressed by Knight Frank Interiors?

Simply put, people fall in love with their eyes first, and Knight Frank Interiors understand how to make a space work to its optimum potential as well as it is often the difference in achieving a sale.

Where is your favourite restaurant in the Marylebone area to go for lunch or dinner?

Il Blandford’s for a cosy local Italian, Zayna for exceptional North Indian/Pakistani cuisine, and Doorsteps as an excellent value local sandwich and coffee shop. Marylebone has a brilliant variety of cuisines it’s hard to pick just one!

How have you found working during the pandemic and the new schedules of working from home?

I would think like most people it was hard to come to terms with at first, and then personally I have felt grateful to be in an industry that has remained open for business. It has been a juggling act with kids and other elements of life, but it’s worked, and there will be lessons we have learned from it. Sometimes working from home is unquestionably useful, but I think we will all be grateful to work with colleagues more closely again and discuss business in real time including the team at Knight Frank Interiors.
