Estate Agents in Holland Park

Prior to joining Marsh & Parsons, David had spent 15 years as a senior publicist in the music and entertainment industries. It was a career that took him all over the world and after a lengthy placement in Siena, Italy, David returned to the UK seeking a new challenge and to settle back in west London. A long standing affection for the Holland Park and Notting Hill areas plus a keen interest in property encouraged him to apply for a sales negotiator position with Marsh & Parsons. Having produced excellent results for both our Kensington and Notting Hill offices, David rapidly won promotion to Senior Negotiator before becoming the manager of Holland Park, one of Marsh & Parson's most successful offices.

David has lived in or around the Holland Park area for his entire adult life. Along with his wife and two daughters, he is a regular weekend face at Holland Park's adventure playground and loves nothing more than a summer evening spent with friends, good food and a glass of wine sitting outside Julie's wine bar. While he considers Clarendon Cross one of London's hidden gems, his love of architecture is indulged throughout the whole area. A particular favourite location of David's is Holland Park Mews where, hidden between two rows of elegant villas, the beautiful cobbled Victorian mews sweeps up a gentle hill. See it once and you'll see it a thousand times, in films and commercials going back decades. If you're looking for a rack of lamb or steak & ale pie, David will send you directly to Lidgates, the celebrated butchers on Holland Park Avenue, outside which he queues annually with hundreds of others for his Christmas Goose - well worth the wait. In June 2012, David was promoted to Associate Director of Marsh & Parsons.

Claire has lived in London since 2002 initially working in Advertising & Publishing, however on discovering she was more comfortable in a face to face business role, started a career in estate agency. Before joining Marsh & Parsons in 2006, Claire spent a number of years working in South Kensington where her ability to speak conversational French came in very useful. Claire has been an integral part of the growth and success of the Marsh & Parsons lettings division, opening the Balham, Pimlico and Mayfair offices, building them into successful estate agency branches. In November 2011, Claire was promoted to Associate Director of Marsh & Parsons.

Claire has overseen the development of our Holland Park lettings department for the past four years, transforming it into what is now regarded at the most successful lettings agency the area. Claire has already spotted her dream home on the leafy Clarendon Road W14 and loves spending time in Holland Park, with its wealth of history.  Locally, Claire's favourite place to relax and catch up with friends for a bite to eat is Julie's Restaurant & Champagne Bar on Portland Road, and she also highly recommends Lidgate's butchers for their scrumptious sausage rolls!
