A specialist country house estate agency set up in 2020 has appointed Liz McLean as a director who will be covering Wiltshire, South Oxfordshire, West Berkshire and North Hampshire.

Liz Joins The Country House Department (TCHD) with over 25 years’ experience at some of the top agencies in the Wessex Area, latterly taking on the role of Head of Residential for Savills in Newbury.

She commented: “Demand continues to outstrip supply in the country house market, with this, attention to detail on presentation, service and delivery is mission critical to selling our homes and getting the best deal – which is why it’s great to join The Country House Department who place a huge emphasis on this from day one. There are some superb homes ready and waiting to come on the market, and I look forward to working with our clients on their next chapter.”

Since launching in June 2020, TCHD have agreed sales/sold in excess of £160m worth of property, with the average sale price being £2,050,162, achieving 100.9% of the guide price. A third of homes sold by TCHD had previously failed to sell with another agent.

Andrew Russell, co-founder of The Country House Department comments: “We’re delighted to be expanding our team further with the appointment of Liz, who is a superb addition with new skills, experience and someone in tune with our values as a business. Liz will be working closely alongside Nick Loweth (ex-Knight Frank).
