Bentry Capital has appointed James Oldershaw as sales manager to lead the launch of its £100 million Angel Village development in Islington, one of the most significant new residential schemes due to come to market in Zone 1 this year.
Oldershaw (main picture, inset) will work in-house alongside CBRE and Savills as Bentry prepares for the official spring sales launch at the gated City Road development, which is being positioned as one of the most competitively priced new-build schemes in central London.
Angel Village will deliver 130 design-led apartments, with a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. Residents will benefit from on-site concierge services, private landscaped gardens and secure underground parking.
Phase one will comprise 88 homes, with prices starting from £575,000, and a dedicated marketing suite and show apartment due to open ahead of the launch.
GLITTERING CAREER
Oldershaw joins from JLL, where he led sales at Ghelamco’s HiLight scheme in Battersea, completing more than £30 million of transactions during 2025.
Fluent in Portuguese, he has extensive experience working with both UK buyers and overseas investors, and previously held senior new-homes and investment roles at Foxtons.
He will work closely with Bentry Capital’s national director of sales and marketing, David Ronson, and sales associate Francesca Davies, both of whom previously worked alongside him at HiLight.
STRONGEST TEAM
Ronson says: “I am delighted that James Oldershaw is joining our team at Bentry Capital. Angel Village is our first London scheme to come to the market and we want the strongest team in place for our official sales launch this Spring.
“I was instrumental in James’ hiring in his former role and was impressed with his driven, dynamic sales attitude, so I sought him out to complete the sales team we are building at Bentry Capital.”
Oldershaw adds: “Joining Bentry Capital is a fantastic opportunity and I am thrilled to be working alongside David Ronson and Francesca Davies again. With London experiencing a tumultuous sales market over the last few years, it’s essential to have a sales team that works seamlessly together to help buyers find their dream home.
“Bentry Capital has a diverse portfolio and I am honoured to be leading on Angel Village, the most exciting Zone 1 launch for London this year.”
