James was born and bred in Yorkshire and moved to Scotland in 1998 after graduating from Newcastle University. He now considers himself to be properly domiciled after over 20 years of living North of the border.
He started his property career working for two major national estate agencies as a sales agent, specialising in the Scottish country house market.
In 2016 he joined a well established Edinburgh based relocation agency which he subsequently led a management buy-out of. This line of business, coupled with previous residential experience, has enabled him to develop an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the local property market in Edinburgh, The Lothians and The Scottish Borders - the area which he serves and so loves.
James knows the recipe for any successful move, especially when moving with a family from afar. He is widely connected in both the sales and lettings circles locally, and his grit and determination will often unearth fantastic off-market opportunities for his clients.
For the investor, he can impart valuable knowledge to ensure that the right decisions are made, blending capital growth potential and realistic rental yields.
James is a family man with his wife and four children, so when he is not sourcing properties for clients, he loves spending his time entertaining them on East Lothian's stunning beaches or in the Lammermuir Hills where he lives.
He also has two Spaniels, Molly & Mindy, who some clients might be lucky enough to meet. Keeping the whole clan well exercised keeps him on his toes.
James started working in the property industry nearly 15 years ago in Central London. After 5 successful years managing a well-established office he decided to relocate with his wife back to their native North East working for a local estate agent.
During the move back to Newcastle, James witnessed first-hand the challenges and stress involved of finding the right property and soon after, he set up his own property finding and relocation company.
Now happily settled back in Northumberland, James utilises his experience and property knowledge to provide a professional service for his clients across the region. Over the years James has built long standing relationships with local agents, developers and fellow property professionals which often benefit his clients when sourcing off-market properties.
Job Titles:
- Regional Partner View Profile
With a career in residential property spanning over 30 years, James has seen most of what the market has had to offer. Starting out in agency in Berkshire and Surrey in the late '80s, he moved up to central London in the mid '90s, selling flats and houses in St John's Wood and Notting Hill. This prepared him for a long stint in South Kensington and Chelsea, working for two of the premier agents in the area. Then, in 2003, James was offered the opportunity to run the Block Management arm of a Chelsea agency. For 3 years, this demanding but ultimately rewarding role taught him more about property and leases than he had learnt in the previous 15 years. Although this added a number of strings to his bow, ultimately the pull of the market was too hard to ignore. When the chance to work for one of the most highly regarded Buying Agents came up, in what was at the time, a young industry, James grabbed the opportunity.
In 2006, James joined Garrington and has never looked back. The firm's dedicated and forensic approach to property search is ideally suited to his methodical and professional standards. With the extensive experience he is able to bring to the role, Garrington's clients can be assured of access to a deep and varied knowledge base. Indeed, during the 13 years that James has been a Property Advisor, his clients' searches have taken him from the Prime Central areas of London to the up and coming postcodes south of the Thames, the trendy districts east of the City, to the media hangouts of north west London and to the popular family areas of the west and south-west.
James lives in south-west London close to Richmond with his wife and three children. He has done so for 20 years and is always going on about how lucky he is to be able to walk, run or cycle in the 2000 acres of Richmond Park while being a short distance from the capital's attractions.
He can be found zipping about on his moped, often the first to respond to an agent's nod about a new home to the market, previewing, analysing and informing his clients about their next property purchase.
