Chestertons has appointed Katinka Hill (main picture, inset) as its new Head of Lettings, promoting one of the company’s longest-serving leaders to oversee its London-wide lettings operation.
The appointment recognises Hill’s contribution to the business over almost two decades and reflects Chestertons’ continued focus on developing talent from within its existing leadership team.
Hill joined Chestertons in 2007 and has held a number of senior positions during her 19-year career with the agency, including Director of Fulham Road Lettings, Area Director for South West Lettings and, most recently, Regional Director for Central Lettings.
During that time, she has played a key role in the growth of the company’s lettings business, managing teams across several of London’s most competitive residential markets and supporting landlords and tenants through significant changes in the rental sector.
PIVOTAL TIME
The promotion comes at a pivotal time for the lettings market, with agents and landlords continuing to adapt to the introduction of the Renters’ Rights Act and wider regulatory changes.
Adam Jennings, Head of Residential at Chestertons, says: “I am delighted to announce Katinka’s promotion to Head of Lettings.
“Throughout her career at Chestertons, she has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, professionalism and commitment to both our clients and colleagues.
“Katinka’s extensive experience and deep understanding of London’s rental market make her ideally placed to lead our lettings operation.
“As the market continues to evolve, her expertise will be invaluable in ensuring we continue to deliver the highest levels of service to landlords and tenants across the capital.”
NEXT PHASE
Hill says she is looking forward to leading the next phase of the company’s lettings growth.
She said: “Having spent almost two decades at Chestertons, I am incredibly proud to take on the role of Head of Lettings. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work alongside talented colleagues and support landlords and tenants across many of London’s most dynamic residential markets.
“The lettings sector continues to evolve, particularly following the introduction of the Renters’ Rights Act, and I look forward to working with our teams across London to help clients navigate these changes, build on our success and continue delivering the exceptional service that Chestertons is known for.”
