Savills has appointed Alistair Heather to head up its Bath office.

Heather, a senior residential sales director, has worked as an agent in London and Bath for almost two decades.

Heather’s appointment further bolsters the senior team at Savills in Bath and reflects the rapid growth of the business.

He said: “Savills has an incredible reputation and I am hugely excited to be joining such a strong team here in Bath. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to market homes in one of the most architecturally and naturally beautiful parts of the country.

“The pandemic has been an enormous catalyst for the property market and has brought Bath and its surrounds into sharper focus for national and international buyers. It is a genuine privilege to be entrusted by my clients with their homes and I really look forward to helping more people secure their ideal move this year.”

Heather joins an experienced and well-established residential sales team of eight residential staff in the Bath office, including director, Matthew Pegler, who, with more than 25 years as an agent, focuses on the sale of country and village properties, and associate director, Jack King, who has worked in agency in Bath for 12 years, and alongside Luke Brady, specialises in the city market.

Heather takes over from Brady, who has been at the helm since 2012, alongside his role as head of Savills southern residential sales business, which he will continue in.

“Our local business has grown considerably over the last decade and we have seen our turnover quadruple,” said Brady. “We decided that 2022 would be the ideal time to expand our senior team and for me to focus my time on my regional role, which has also doubled in size, alongside my client work.”

“It is a great pleasure to welcome Alistair to the team and am looking forward to working closely with him on the continued evolution of our business here in Bath,” he added.
