The new service is a natural extension of the firm’s longstanding presence in Bath, where its residential sales, residential development sales and rural management and consultancy teams have been advising clients across the city and surrounding countryside for many years.

The firm’s newly established lettings team will provide landlords and tenants with a seamless, full-service residential property offering under one trusted brand.

It will be headed up by Jack Ashford, who has specialised in residential lettings for over a decade. Jack started his agency career in Devon, working across the prime and super-prime property markets throughout the county, before relocating to Bristol in 2018. He joined Savills in 2024.

He is joined in Bath by Clare Neville, an established residential lettings negotiator with over 17 years’ experience. Clare has worked for Savills since 2020 - initially based in South West London before relocating to the Cotswolds.

Jack Ashford, head of Bath Residential Lettings, said:

“Bath continues to benefit from a highly desirable and resilient rental market, driven by strong demand from professionals, families and corporate relocations. Through its established and growing network of corporate clients, Savills is well positioned to connect landlords with high-quality tenants seeking premium homes across Bath and the surrounding villages.

“The launch of our lettings team here in Bath is a natural next step for our regional business and reflects the strength of the local rental market and the increasing demand we're seeing from landlords seeking high-quality advice and representation."

The local team will be overseen by Louise Nicholson, head of Savills regional business in the South West and Cotswolds. Commenting on the move, she said:

“We are excited to bring our respected, client-focused lettings service to the Bath market. With established local connections, strong national and global reach and an experienced team of specialists, we are ideally placed to deliver exceptional results for landlords and tenants."

The new service will offer a full range of lettings and property management solutions, supporting landlords throughout the rental process while helping tenants secure some of the region's most desirable homes.

Savills Bath provides residential sales, residential development sales, rural estate management and consultancy services across Bath and the wider region. The launch of residential lettings further strengthens the office's ability to offer clients a comprehensive range of property services through one of the UK's leading property advisers.
