The firm has appointed Sarah McKinnon to head up the new team. Previously an Associate Director at Savills, McKinnon joins Knight Frank with 30 years of real estate experience.
Also joining Knight Frank is Katy Reynolds, who launched Savills’ Cheltenham New Homes team alongside McKinnon in 2019.
In recent years, McKinnon and Reynolds have been responsible for selling the largest residential schemes in Cheltenham and across Gloucester.
At Knight Frank, they will be based between Cheltenham and Cirencester, and their remit will cover developments in Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds, Worcestershire and Wiltshire.
Chris Priestley, Head of Central New Homes at Knight Frank, said:
“Sarah and Katy are well known in Cheltenham for their unparalleled knowledge and understanding of the local market. They are both trusted and highly regarded by their clients, and over the years have built up an excellent reputation for working on some of the region’s most important new developments. We’re delighted that they have joined Knight Frank to set up the New Homes team in Cheltenham.”
Mark Evans, Head of Regional Residential Development & Investment at Knight Frank, added:
“These latest hires are part of Knight Frank’s continued growth and expansion plans in the regions. The appointments of Sarah and Katy bolster Knight Frank’s wider land and new homes offering, which now covers Cheltenham, Cirencester, the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire, as well as the Midlands, the Southeast, the Southwest, and Devon and Cornwall.”
