Ms Duke will be joining Director Jason Hyland and CEO Simon Torode during the market’s recovery period from lockdown, which is seeing higher activity than expected.

The second quarter of 2020 saw 16 open market property transactions – four more than the same quarter in 2019.

Meanwhile, Guernsey’s ‘business tunnel’ scheme allows prospective residents to travel to view properties and Livingroom has conducted video viewings for those unable or unwilling to visit.

“Amanda joins us at a time of exceptional market activity, so her experience in people-facing roles will be invaluable as we manage huge demand,” said Mr Torode. “She is a welcome addition to the team, and I know our clients are going to enjoy working with her.”

Ms Duke is excited to share her passion for property with her new team: “I’m delighted to join Livingroom, which has such a strong reputation on the Island and further afield.

“It’s a fascinating time for the housing market so I’m very much looking forward to meeting vendors and buyers, and getting to work in such a dynamic role.”
