Located at 47 Balham Hill, moments away from Clapham South underground station, it is the firm’s fifth office south of the River Thames and strategically links with its Battersea, Wandsworth and Wimbledon branches.
The office will sell and let properties across a large geographical area including Abbeville Village, Balham, Brixton, Clapham North, Clapham South, the Heaver Estate, Streatham Hill and Tooting Bec.
The new sales office will be managed by Alistair Hilton who joins John D Wood & Co with seven years of estate agency experience in South London, latterly as a branch manager in Balham. He will manage two experienced sales negotiators.
The Lettings Department will be managed by Lettings Manager Elena Baskerville who has several years experience in letting properties across all sectors of the market. She is moving from the company’s Chiswick branch and will be supported by a lettings negotiator.
‘The opening of our new Clapham office cements John D Wood & Co.’s presence south of the river neatly linking with our Battersea and Wandsworth offices. With 15 offices in London we are well placed to observe the ripple effect created by record prices being achieved in central London by our international purchasers,’ said Peter Young, managing director of John D Wood & Co.
‘This is driving buyers and tenants to seek out better value and larger properties in neighbouring boroughs. We are delighted to offer our expertise as one of London’s leading estate agents with over 140 years experience to help buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants in Clapham and the surrounding area,’ he added.
Hilton said that he is excited to be launching a new office for John D Wood & Co. ‘I am confident that my local expertise combined with John D Wood & Co.’s extensive network of London offices, professional approach to property sales, excellent marketing and its point of difference with its in house Sales Service Department will make this new office a success,’ he added.
