Fine & Country has announced the launch of a new license in Newbury, increasing the brand’s presence in the housing market.
The licence officially commenced on 1 January, with full operations now underway, covering the property market across Newbury and the surrounding villages.
The new office is being led by Tim Hughes, working alongside property and sales consultant Simonie Westacott and supported by property manager and consultant Anne-Marie Lynch. Together, the team brings decades of combined experience in selling, renting, developing and styling prime residential property throughout the Newbury area.
Hughes said: “For our team, opening Fine & Country Newbury means we have even more to offer our lovely clients and their fabulous homes. For the local market, it means a Fine & Country team based right in the centre of Newbury, focused on providing a dedicated service for the sale of high-value properties.”
Fine & Country Newbury, which will cover the RG14, RG17, RG18, RG19 and RG20 postcodes, says it is particularly focused on the top quartile of the market, typically properties valued at £850,000 and above.
Hughes brings more than a decade of experience from Belvoir, where he specialised in renting and selling high-quality homes across the Newbury area. Westacott contributes extensive experience in buying, developing and selling premium property, alongside a strong background in interior design for upper-quartile homes. Lynch combines hands-on development experience with over ten years in lettings and sales locally.
Hughes said: “Even before joining Fine & Country, we were heavily invested in best-in-class photography, videography and copywriting. Fine & Country allows us to go further, delivering an enhanced service through greater reach, PR support, national press exposure and the strength of the wider Fine & Country network.”
“This broader reach creates stronger competition and ultimately helps us achieve better outcomes for our clients,” Hughes added.
Nicky Stevenson, managing director of Fine & Country, commented: “Newbury is a highly attractive market with a strong concentration of premium homes and discerning buyers, making it a natural fit for the Fine & Country brand.
“Tim and his team bring outstanding local knowledge, professionalism and a genuine passion for high-quality property, and we are delighted to welcome them to the network. We are confident Fine & Country Newbury will quickly become the go-to agency for sellers seeking a more sophisticated, far-reaching approach to marketing their homes.”
