Experienced commercial property specialist Maria Hoadley has joined Vail Williams as a Partner as the consultancy continues to expand.

She is based at the firm’s Woking office and works in the busy agency team across the Surrey and Thames Valley regions in property acquisitions and disposals.

Maria, previously head of office and industrial at property consultants Kempton Carr Croft in Maidenhead, has also worked at De Souza Property Consultants and spent two decades with Altus Group.

As well as disposals and acquisitions she also specialises in corporate occupancy advice, leasing and general corporate property advice.

Surrey Regional Managing Partner Geoff Fallon said: “Maria brings 30 years of commercial property experience to Vail Williams and I am glad to have been able to appoint her to our agency team.

“Throughout her career, she has dealt with the acquisition and disposal of industrial and office property on behalf of owners and occupiers across the Thames Valley and M4/M3 corridor.

“She has hit the ground running and is already immersed in the Vail Williams culture and has fitted in with the team seamlessly. She will have a big role to play in our future as we continue to increase market share across the regions.”

Maria is experienced in acting for retained clients on a national basis, including representing a major property investment and development company on their office portfolio, a real estate investment management firm on disposals and a communications group on acquisitions and disposals.

In a previous role Maria was also seconded to Heathrow Airport Ltd and has in-depth knowledge of the Heathrow location in general.

She said: “I am both excited and humbled to have been appointed by such a go-ahead and vibrant firm as Vail Williams. My challenge is to maintain the second-to-none client service for which the firm is renowned.

“It is an excellent place to work and the friendly, professional and hard-working Surrey and Thames Valley agency team have made me feel very welcome. I will certainly be striving to match their enthusiasm, work ethic and deal success.”
