H&H Land & Estates has appointed experienced Chartered Surveyor Sam Barton as Associate Director to its South Lakes team.
With extensive experience spanning estate management, valuations, rural professional consultancy and commercial property, Sam Barton further strengthens H&H Land & Estates' offering to clients across Cumbria, Lancashire and the wider region.
A graduate of Northumbria University with a degree in Real Estate, Sam is a Chartered Surveyor (MRICS). He began his career specialising in commercial property in the North East before moving into the rural sector. Most recently, he worked for a local agent within the Eden Valley, where he advised landowners on estate management matters and a broad range of rural property issues.
In his new role, Sam will work closely with clients on a wide range of rural property matters, including valuations, property sales and acquisitions, landlord and tenant issues, estate management and professional consultancy. He is also looking forward to helping strengthen H&H Land & Estates' commercial offering alongside the company's established rural expertise.
Originally from Troutbeck near Windermere, Sam now lives in the Eden Valley with his wife and young family. Taking up the role at H&H Land & Estates' Staveley office represents something of a homecoming as he returns to work in an area he knows well.
Commenting on his appointment, Sam said, “Joining H&H Land & Estates feels like I've come full circle. Growing up in Troutbeck and now returning to work in the South Lakes makes this a particularly exciting opportunity.
“H&H Land & Estates has an excellent reputation and I'm looking forward to becoming part of the team, getting to know our clients and helping them achieve their objectives. I also hope to build on the company's commercial property services while supporting its long-established rural work.”
