Strutt & Parker further strengthens regional team with the appointment of Christian Swaab as Head of South West New Homes

Q3 2024

Strutt & Parker has today announced the appointment of Christian Swaab to Head of South West New Homes, following a six-month period acting as a consultant for the business.

Christian brings over two decades of experience in the industry, previously Head of Savills’ Country Department in Cheltenham for eight years and, more recently, operating as Knight Frank’s Head of New Homes in Devon & Cornwall.

Christian’s proven track record makes him well-placed to drive the sales and marketing of new residential developments across the south west – from the plains of Wiltshire, down to the Cornish coast. In his new role her will be working closely with Strutt & Parker’s multi-disciplinary office in Exeter, which offers residential sales, estates & farm agency, as well as land management services to its clients.

Charlotte Moxon, Head of Regional New Homes at Strutt & Parker says, “Christian is a highly-regarded agent locally, which is reflected in the quality of his current portfolio, from St Leonard’s Quarter – a development of houses and apartments on the outskirts of Exeter – to Droskyn Point – a collection of homes on the North Cornwall coast. He has become a vital player in our wider regional new homes network and I’m confident that placing him at the helm of our south west division will not only strengthen our offering across the region, but also ensure an exceptional level of service to our clients.”

Christian Swabb, Head of South West New Homes at Strutt & Parker says, “Strutt & Parker has such an established presence in the south west, so it’s incredibly exciting to be leading on the sales for new homes in this region. Our sandy beaches, striking coastlines and rolling countryside are enduringly popular with buyers, which means it’s an area of continual growth that sees a steady stream of new homes. As such, we have some fantastic new instructions in the pipeline, including a collection of homes and waterside apartments with panoramic views in one of South Devon’s most sought-after locations which is launching at the start of 2025.”

Strutt & Parker’s New Homes team spans the UK and specialises in selling new-build homes, from single units through to large developments, in regional markets, as well as London.
