Tim Hyatt, head of UK residential at Knight Frank, said: “We are dedicated to offering our clients the best possible service. In order to provide a comprehensive experience for our customers, we have made the decision to progress with a series of auctions following a successful trial of the platform earlier in the year.
“We are constantly looking at how we can evolve our business in order to best cater for the current demand and market conditions. Our auctions facility is the latest in a series of innovations from Knight Frank that aim to better inform and service our diverse range of clients.
“I am delighted with the industry leading team we have put in place, recruiting Richard Watson to head up the initiative.”
