Strutt & Parker Appoints Head of National Town and City Markets
Strutt & Parker has appointed Louise Glanville as its first Head of National Town and City Markets. The agency aims to strengthen its presence in prime regional city locations across England, including Oxford, Cambridge, Winchester, and Exeter.
Glanville joins Strutt & Parker as a Director after nearly ten years at Knight Frank, where she was a Partner and Head of the Exeter office. This move also marks her return to Strutt & Parker, where she began her property career in the New Homes team.
The newly created role is part of the National Country House Department and reflects a strategic focus on expanding Strutt & Parker’s super-prime offering in key cathedral and university cities. The agency notes that the distinction between town and country living is becoming less defined in these areas, with homes offering both scale and character within city environments.
Glanville will work closely with local offices to strengthen links between city and country markets, identifying opportunities for clients whose housing needs span both sectors. The appointment is part of a broader investment programme by Strutt & Parker’s parent company, BNP Paribas, which has included senior recruitment, the launch of a London broker team, and a recent rebrand.
This development is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks operating in or near these prime city markets, as it signals a strategic push by a major agency to serve clients seeking properties that bridge urban and rural lifestyles.
