Savills has expanded its presence in Bath with the launch of a residential lettings division at its Milsom Street office.
The move extends the agency’s existing services in the city, which include residential sales, development sales and rural property management.
The new department will target landlords and tenants across Bath and the surrounding villages, with a particular focus on the prime rental market.
Experienced lettings agents appointed
Jack Ashford will lead the new lettings operation, bringing more than a decade of experience in residential lettings.
He began his agency career in Devon, working across the prime and super-prime markets. He subsequently moved to Bristol in 2018 before joining Savills in 2024.
Clare Neville joins him in Bath. She has more than 17 years of lettings experience and has worked at Savills since 2020.
Neville previously worked in South West London before relocating to the Cotswolds.
Ashford said: “Bath continues to benefit from a highly desirable and resilient rental market, driven by strong demand from professionals, families and corporate relocations.
“The launch of our lettings team here in Bath is a natural next step for our regional business and reflects the strength of the local rental market and the increasing demand we’re seeing from landlords seeking high-quality advice and representation.”
Savills targets Bath rental market
Louise Nicholson, head of Savills’ regional business in the South West and Cotswolds, will oversee the team.
The new department will offer residential lettings and property management services, adding to Savills’ established sales operation in the city.
Nicholson said: “We are excited to bring our respected, client-focused lettings service to the Bath market.
“With established local connections, strong national and global reach and an experienced team of specialists, we are ideally placed to deliver exceptional results for landlords and tenants.”
The expansion gives Savills a dedicated lettings presence in Bath as it seeks to increase its share of the city’s rental market.
