Global real estate advisor CBRE has increased its valuation capability with a focus on residential, with the announcement of four new hires at its Bristol office.

Working across all aspects of the residential market including single family housing, build-to-rent, affordable housing, development advice and student accommodation, the team offers a dedicated resource for valuation and advisory support.

Headed by new starter Adam Greenwood, a Senior Director who joins from JLL, the new team also includes Associate Director, Steph Passey, who has moved from her role in CBRE's Development and Residential Capital Markets team. Adam and Steph are joined by new recruits Kate Hollick who will join as a Director, Lauren Baddeley as an Associate Director and Klaudia Gorz as an Assistant Surveyor, – each of whom also join from JLL, providing CBRE with the largest residential valuation team in the region.

The Bristol-based team will work alongside existing Residential Valuations teams at CBRE's Birmingham and Southampton offices, as well as the wider UK Living business.

Richard Eames, Executive Director Valuation & Advisory, who spearheaded the creation of the team in Bristol, said:

"There is growing demand from clients in need of support in all aspects of the living sector. By creating a dedicated team that is focused on this specific market, we can offer specialist support across the region.

"The team will work alongside our well-established and successful existing commercial valuation team and will be able to draw on that expertise where needed."
