Knight Frank, Moveli, and Harding Green have each announced significant senior appointments to their London residential sales teams, with experienced agents joining to strengthen their operations in the capital.
Liza-Jane Kelly Joins Knight Frank
Knight Frank has appointed Liza-Jane Kelly as head of London residential sales. Kelly, who previously served as Head of London Residential at Savills, will join Knight Frank in September. She will become a Proprietary Partner and work alongside current Head of London Residential Sales Rory Penn during a transition period. Penn is set to become Senior Partner and Group Chair in April 2027. Kelly brings over 25 years of experience in the London residential market, having held senior roles at Hamptons International and Marsh & Parsons before joining Savills in 2018. In her new role, she will oversee Knight Frank’s London residential sales operation, join the firm’s Residential Board, and lead the strategy and performance of its network of London sales offices.
