Lucy Morton

Spear’s Review

Lucy Morton joined JLL in 2014 after its merger with central London estate agency W.A. Ellis, before rising to her current role as head of residential. She had been one of the firm's senior partners, having originally set up W.A. Ellis’s lettings arm. 

Within the sector, Morton is known for growing one of the capital’s most successful lettings businesses from near-scratch, as well as her work to improve standards within the industry – including working with Baroness Hayter on the Property Standards Board and advocating the regulation of lettings agents. 

She is a past president of the Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA) and, during her tenure, was instrumental in establishing the ARLA licensing scheme which now has over 6,000 members.
