Giles brings with him over 35 years of experience of the Oxfordshire and wider Cotswolds market and joined Strutt & Parker in 2016 following eleven years at Savills.

Oliver Custance Baker, head of Strutt & Parker’s National Country House Department comments, “Giles’ estate agency career spans four decades, and his knowledge and experience of one of the most competitive markets in the UK gives our Cotswolds clients the comfort of knowing they are working with one of the best. With the current backdrop of market uncertainty, experienced agents come into their own having navigated complex markets in the past. Giles is a superb addition to the department, who the team has worked with closely over the years.”

Giles Lawton, senior director in Strutt & Parker’s National Country House Department says, “I’ve spent most of my life in the Chipping Norton area, and have witnessed the evolution of the Cotswolds market and beyond since the 1980s, often selling the same homes two, three, or even four times over the years. Joining the London based Country Department is a move I’m really pleased to be making, and I’m looking forward to developing the link between our local office network and our clients on the sale of some of this country’s finest homes.”

The twelve strong National Country House Department handles the sales of prime homes outside London above £2,500,000, and works closely with the National Estates and Farms Agency team, BNP Paribas Real Estate Private Client department, and Strutt & Parker’s network of regional offices across the UK.
