Team Principia

Principia’s team of property experts is here for you. You benefit from a single point of contact – your property manager – and a dedicated support team that will consistently and continuously understand and service your needs. Our two large teams of property managers report to their team leader, and in turn to a senior team manager and our director. Each property manager enjoys the support of a dedicated assistant in addition to the invaluable support from our administrative team. Our market-leading finance team consists of client-facing, efficient client accountants supported by purchase ledger, banking and credit control clerks, headed up by our group financial controller. An operations manager completes a talented, personable, well qualified, supportive and client-focused group of property management professionals.

    Simone

    With nearly 30 years’ experience in the residential property business, Simone has actively managed a wide range of mansion blocks, predominately through large estates in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea as well as large complex developments throughout London.
