New location for long-standing Savills operation

Savills has moved to a new office in Petworth town centre, from which its lettings and other services will operate. 

Savills, and previously Smiths Gore, has had a presence in the West Sussex town since 1968, when they first started managing the Leconfield Estate. 

The team has grown over the years to 35 employees covering a wide range of property services including residential lettings and sales, estate management, woodland management and arboriculture, rural agency, architecture and building surveying, valuations and general property consultancy.

James Machell, residential director at Savills, says: “We are thrilled to now occupy such a prominent and important position in the town which will help to cement our coverage in West Sussex and provide further exposure for our clients. Having grown the residential business significantly over the past seven years, our new office provides us with the very best foundation from which to enhance our business further.”

Rupert Clark, rural director at Savills, adds: “We have enjoyed 23 years in our former offices at Exchange House but saw the opportunity to move to a fantastic, prominent new space within the town centre. Our own architecture and building surveying team have worked incredibly hard to create a wonderful new space for our great multi-disciplinary team, which is perfectly suited to our modern way of working. We look forward to welcoming clients to our new home.”

Michael Fountain and Alex Burdfield from the Savills architecture and building surveying team worked on the fit out of the new space.
