Three property-industry appointments reported on 6 November 2026 cover London residential sales, a Chester professional association and a Kent housebuilder. They concern different responsibilities, from running an agency team to supporting industry collaboration and a developer’s growth plans.
Tom Roper takes the Fulham sales role
Knight Frank has appointed Tom Roper as an associate and head of sales at its Fulham office. Property Industry Eye and Estate Agent Today report that he joins from Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, where he rose to senior sales branch director after joining in 2016.
His earlier career included Countrywide. The reports describe more than 12 years of London residential experience and a role leading the Fulham sales team while working with regional partners and the wider network.
Anna Horne joins Chester’s CAPP committee
The Negotiator reports that Cavendish sales negotiator Anna Horne has been elected to the committee of the Chester Association of Property Professionals. She replaces Cavendish managing director David Adams after his 16 years on the committee.
Her father, Alex Horne, is a former association chair. Cavendish colleague Annie O’Brien already serves as membership secretary. The association organises professional development, networking and social events, giving the appointment a different purpose from a change in branch management.
Fernham Homes strengthens its sales leadership
Property Industry Eye reports that Karrina Oki has joined Fernham Homes as sales and marketing director, following roles including experience at Berkeley Group. The Kent developer is targeting annual completions of around 500 homes by 2030, compared with about 100 in the report’s baseline.
That is a growth ambition, rather than confirmation that those homes have already been built. The same report identifies Glenn Holliday as a recent technical-director appointment.
What the roles mean for property customers
These announcements describe who is taking responsibility within organisations. For a seller choosing an agency, it is still useful to establish who will handle their instruction and sales progression in practice.
For a new-home buyer, distinguish the team’s stated expansion plans from the position of the particular development: what is available, what stage construction has reached and what is confirmed in writing. A company target and a home’s completion arrangements answer different questions.
