Operating from six offices at Notting Hill, Kensington, Ladbroke Grove, Chelsea, Brook Green and Berkeley Square, the business is now under new management.

Bective, formerly Bective Leslie Marsh when owned by the Earl of Bective and labelled ‘the UK’s poshest estate agent’ by the media, has refurbished all of its locations in a multi-million-pound rebranding and has recruited a top team of London agents to ensure its growth and success under the watchful eye of a new senior team which comprises Thomas Dainty as Operations Director and Craig Tonkin as Revenue Director, both veteran London agents with senior positions at Foxtons, Dexters and Marsh and Parsons on their respective resumes.

“Our pedigree as London’s original estate agent to the discerning stands us in good stead for the journey ahead. Former owner Christo Headfort, Earl of Bective, was the first to secure a million-pound Chelsea house deal in the mid-1980s and was the original Prime London Agent’ says Thomas Dainty, Operations Director.

‘Our plan now that we have invested substantial sums in our people and our branding, is to grow the Bective business across our six locations and beyond and with lifestyle in mind as well as relationships, not just transactions.”

“As the London property market finds its feet now that the economy is recovering and overseas buyers returning, the new team will leverage our renewed resources and depth of brand to list more, to sell more and to rent more of the capital’s finest of homes.’

‘Our agents are hand-picked local experts that know their communities and the market intimately and can therefore provide the very best advice and the most accurate market appraisal. We’re a trusted company and we’re building further on that,’ adds Craig Tonkin, Bective’s Revenue Director.

Bective’s USPs in their mission to dominate the London property market are:

● An end to end service – one point of contact
● Genuine local experience
● Heritage and provenance as the original Prime London estate and letting agent
● A lifestyle led approach – seeing neighbourhoods and transactions through the eyes of the buyer and the seller
● As good at lettings and property management as sales
● Ambitious through the power of client recommendation

Former Bective clients include Elle Macpherson, Stella McCartney, Ed Sheeran, Richard Branson, Lucy Yeomans of Harpers and Queens, Trinny Woodall and fashion designer Alice Temperley.
