Caroline Saxon has been appointed senior surveyor at property consultancy Knight Frank’s Birmingham office.
She joins the Valuation and Lease Advisory division and will advise commercial clients on a comprehensive range of single and portfolio valuations and market appraisals in addition to providing lease advisory services to both landlords and occupiers alike.
She said: “Knight Frank has offered a good opportunity for me to work in a respected valuations team and extend my skills, experience and client base further both within valuations and lease advisory.”
Caroline, 26, was previously with BNP Paribas Real Estate in Birmingham in the lease advisory department.
This follows on from the appointment of Tim Innes as a senior associate in the valuation team, who has joined to advise and assist in the growth of the loan security and banking book.
Tim joined Knight Frank from the valuation team at GVA.
Kevin Morris, lead partner in Knight Frank’s Professional Consultancy & Commercial Valuation & Advisory team in Birmingham, added: “This is a further strengthening of the Midlands team following other recent appointments. The department is going from strength to strength, with a number of new clients and some exciting new instructions to work on.”
