Valuation Specialist Joins Vail Williams In Oxford



Property consultancy Vail Williams has appointed a valuation specialist in Oxford to meet growing business demand.


David Grove joins as an associate at the office, which opened just under two years ago as an extension of the firm’s Thames Valley region.


Bringing 30 years’ experience, David provides valuations for secured lending and for pension, accounting and probate purposes as well as for commercial, retail, residential and education sector estates, along with lease advisory work.


Richard Dawtrey, who leads the Oxford office, and is Vail Williams’ lead partner of investment, said:

“David’s remit is valuation work for secured lending and other purposes, supporting clients with market-focused advice across a range of property assets."

“His strong understanding of local and regional markets makes him a trusted adviser within the Oxfordshire property landscape.”


David said:

“Vail Williams has a high quality, established client base in and around Oxford and I look forward to providing well-rounded, pragmatic consultancy to lenders, investors, landlords, occupiers and professional advisers.”

With 13 staff supporting its Oxford office, located at New Barclay House in Botley Road, Botley, the business has ambitious plans to further expand the team this year with further lease advisory, agency and building consultancy capability.


Vail Williams’ full-service property advice includes commercial agency, investment and development advice, building consultancy, property valuation, planning, lease advisory, property asset management, business rates and occupier consultancy.


Last year the firm launched a new three-year business plan aimed at further innovation, service excellence and sustainable growth.

Leeds Jukebox Manufacturer Keeps Nostalgia Alive In Today’s Digital Age

On a quiet industrial estate in east Leeds, among warehouses and ring roads, a familiar glow still flickers. It comes not from a screen but from polished chrome, curved glass and softly lit panels, the kind that once beckoned from American diners and British dancehalls.
