Toby Downes

Spear’s Review

Toby Downes, a London buying adviser at Haringtons, is noted for having extensive knowledge of London’s most popular postcodes, particularly where international buyers are concerned.

Downes describes his advisory as ‘low volume and high service’, saying he prefers to take on a few select clients who he can get to know well, guide through the process and ultimately find the best property for.

He cut his teeth in prime property development at Northacre in 2006 before holding various sales roles at Marsh & Parsons, Strutt & Parker and Savills, specialising in Mayfair, Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Chelsea. He spent time at RedBook as a director in 2021 before joining Jonathan Harington in his eponymous firm.

‘I chose to specialise in acting for buyers because I have great relationships with people in the market,’ Downes says. ‘I like being involved from the beginning to the end.’
