James Vernor-Miles

Spear’s Review

‘My HNW clients range from lords and ladies, captains of industry, international individuals, solicitors and barristers, charities, other law firms … the full range!’ says James Vernor-Miles, a partner and head of residential property at Hunters. 

Vernor-Miles specialises in high-value and complex property transactions, including those involving landed estates and agricultural property.

Having qualified in 1997, Vernor-Miles joined Hunters as a partner upon its merger with Vernor-Miles & Noble in 2011.

He says he knew he had become a trusted adviser when, ‘in the absence of any marketing expenditure, I was introduced to numerous new clients by existing satisfied clients’.
