Welcome to the first edition of the Somerset Estates newsletter. We hope you’re all keeping safe and well, and aren’t too affected by the second national lockdown.
We are excited to share the news of Barry Breed’s new appointment as Business Development Consultant at Somerset Estates. We are delighted to be working alongside Barry and to form this new partnership of opportunities.

The past year has been challenging for most, and amidst the magnitude of difficulties and stresses that those around us have experienced, worrying about property shouldn’t be one of them.
At a time where the immediate space around us is getting more and more attention, we wanted to turn to some of the wonderful people we work with to showcase the approach we would take together in transforming spaces in prime properties. Philippa Somerset put the questions to Matteo Bianchi, Interior Designer and Elizabeth Marsh, floral designer – both of which know how to spread a little magic in their work!
If there is one thing I have learnt from working at Somerset Estates, is that it’s invaluable to ensure you work with the right partners. We want to work with those who, at their core, share our values and put the needs of their customers above all else.
We all know the value and utmost importance of regular servicing from cars and motorcycles to private jets and super yachts. This is completely necessary to keep them in good working condition, prevent problems arising and ensure they are safe to operate. Homes, particularly luxury residences, should be cared for in the same way. Here are our 5 reasons why prime estates need dedicated maintenance.
As measures are starting to become eased and the return to metropolitan areas are looking more likely, is your London residence ready for your return?
Like the rest of the nation, we’re looking forward to the lockdown restrictions easing in line with the Government’s strategy. After announcements over the past week, engineers, builders and construction workers are all being encouraged to actively return to work providing that social distancing measures and other protocols are upheld.
Last year, whilst one of our clients was out of residency their penthouse experienced an electrical surge which caused a significant amount of damage to various electrical appliances within the property, including numerous audio-visual items, fan coil units, lighting equipment and white goods.
