Benham & Reeves appoints Head of China Desk

Ann Moir has joined Benham and Reeves as the new Head of its China Desk. The appointment is part of the company’s continuing expansion, as it broadens its range of property services to Chinese investors in the UK and overseas.

Anita Mehra, Managing Director says the company needed more Chinese staff on the ground in London to meet the growing interest in London property from Chinese clients. “Owing to Hong Kong’s historical ties with the UK, there has been growing interest from investors in mainland China and to give them good service, in their own time-zone and language, we set up operations in Shanghai in early 2017. Our London China Desk was launched several years ago and Ann’s appointment will further strengthen our offering”.

Ann will help Chinese corporates and students in their London home search and relocation as well as assisting Chinese investors with letting and management of their London property portfolios. Ann, who is fluent in Mandarin and English, has good knowledge of all the international residential sectors and has worked at the heart of the corporate rentals market in London for several years.
