Savills has acquired Central London super prime property letting and management business Mark Tunstall Property for an undisclosed price.
The company said the acquisition would complement the “bespoke service” it offers high net worth landlords and tenants across prime Central and North London, and enhance its established super prime letting business across the UK.
Mark Tunstall, who founded the business 14 years ago, will join Savills as co-head of super prime lettings (London) and will work alongside Isabella Birch Reynardson, co-head of super prime lettings (UK). Tunstall was head of lettings for Chesterfield and set up the super prime letting department for Savills before establishing his own firm.
Murdi van Hien, who has more than 16 years’ experience in prime Central London lettings, is also joining Savills from Mark Tunstall Consulting as part of the acquisition. Van Hien started her career at Savills and is returning as a director in its super prime lettings team.
Amelia Greene, head of UK lettings at Savills, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Mark and Murdi back to Savills. The expansion of our super prime lettings department in London speaks to the growth and potential we see in this marketplace and our commitment to this key area of our business. As the needs of our customers continue to evolve, whether it be requirements for a pied a terre, relocating for business or education, or trying out a new area before buying, the bespoke, discreet service we provide has never been more important and Mark and Murdi are great additions to the team.”
Tunstall added: “I am delighted to be returning to Savills as co-head of super prime lettings, London, a team that I originally established back in 2011. I have taken great pride in building enduring relationships with clients and tenants alike by offering simple, straightforward advice based on a clear understanding of their needs. These are values shared by Savills, so I am excited to build on their already considerable success in the high net worth arena as the sector continues to grow.”
