Grant Bates - Head of Private Office, London
With nearly 20 years of experience Grant Bates has spent more than half of his highly successful career in property, working at Hamptons. Primarily, Grant is focused on the Prime and Super Prime markets across London, where he has made a name for himself thanks to his keen eye for design-led homes with high-end finishes, and for specialising in exceptional ‘turnkey’ properties. This has also garnered him an impressive and loyal social media following, that is regarded to be the highest of a corporate agent, thanks to his influential house tour videos.
Joanna Cocking - Head of Private Office, Country
Joanna Cocking has worked in the property sector in London and across the UK for almost 33 years, joining Hamptons in 2001. She began her career in Prime Central London, in areas including Notting Hill Gate, Holland Park, Kensington, Chelsea and Fulham.
