Jess Simpson, a Chartered Surveyor who previously worked for Strutt & Parker, has set up Jess Simpson Property Search, an independent boutique offering specialising in Rural Estates and Country House buying. With twenty years’ experience in the prime country market and formerly a Partner at Strutt & Parker’s buying arm Private Property Search as well as a Director at Savills, Jess brings her broad experience and knowledge of the sector to her clients as well as a little black book of contacts. Jess Simpson says, “I am delighted to have set up Jess Simpson Property Search. I am passionate about country estates and securing the best property for my clients, and with recent changes to RICS requirements around conflict of interest having true independence is critical. I offer clients a bespoke service providing absolute transparency and integrity with their search and acquisition, particularly with off market deals.” “I look forward to working with buyers and agents alike at a time when the market is buoyant and many people are looking for advice in making their move to the country.“
