Knight Frank Opens New Melbourne Office as It Expands Across Derbyshire

Knight Frank has appointed Victoria McLaughlin as Sales Director for Derbyshire, based at the firm's new office in Melbourne. The appointment forms part of the firm's continued growth across Derbyshire, with Knight Frank now operating eight offices across the West Midlands.

A Seasoned Appointment

McLaughlin brings more than 15 years of experience in the property industry, having worked across country, regional and premium residential markets. Her career has specialised in the sale of high-value and distinctive homes, and she has extensive experience advising clients and delivering successful sales.

In her new role, she will grow Knight Frank's market share across Derbyshire and build relationships with buyers and sellers throughout the region.

What the Firm Says

Commenting on the appointment, McLaughlin said she was delighted to be opening Knight Frank's new Melbourne office and to be part of the firm's continued growth across Derbyshire. She described Melbourne as an excellent base from which to serve clients and said she looked forward to working with buyers and sellers throughout the region while establishing the firm's presence in what she called an important market.

Mitchell Glassey, Director, West Midlands for Knight Frank, welcomed McLaughlin to the firm to open the Derbyshire office. He noted that the two had previously worked together and that she maintains an excellent reputation for focused, client-centric advice and stellar service. He added that her experience, local market knowledge and dedication to clients would be a tremendous asset as the firm continues to grow its presence across the region.

Why It Matters for Agents

The opening of a new Melbourne office by a major national firm signals continued investment in the Derbyshire property market. For local letting agents and inventory clerks, the arrival of an established premium brand may increase competition for high-value and distinctive homes across the county.
