Wealth advisory Liberty Rock has hired Paul Finch as managing director of its property advisory and buying agency.  

Liberty Rock Property specialises in off-market transactions, development consultancy and strategic acquisitions across prime central London and key international markets. 

Finch (pictured) previously worked at estate agency Beauchamp Estates as director and head of new homes, a post he has held since 2019. He joined the business in 2006 as a senior sales negotiator.

He will work alongside Liberty Rock chief executive and group director Scott-havard Williams. 

The London-based advisory adds that Finch has four decades of experience in the ultra-prime property sector in London and the Home Counties, and has advised a range of developers and real estate investors including, the Reuben Brothers, Berkeley Homes and Amazon Property Group.

Williams says: “We have been expanding rapidly and see significant growth opportunities with Paul at the helm of our real estate division.  

“For family offices and private ultra-high-net-worth individuals, global real estate investment and portfolio management for their personal homes is a key part of their wealth management requirements.  

“Our growing real estate department will really benefit from the deep knowledge, access to exclusive trophy real estate opportunities and network of contacts that Paul will bring to the business.”   

Finch adds: “The ultra-prime property sector is seeing the long-term decline in traditional high-street estate agency, replaced by dynamic wealth advisory firms like Liberty Rock and digitally driven boutique agents.  

“Alongside this, the development finance sector is undergoing a significant shift with high street banks being replaced by private family offices and individuals as the key source of real estate funding for both single and multi-unit projects.”
