Probably the most celebrated man in eighteenth century Bath was Beau Nash. More than anyone he made Bath into the ultra-fashionable city that has made it famous all around the world. Not far from where Beau Nash lived, another Nash has taken up residence. Duncan Nash is the man behind Nash & Co, the newest independent estate agency serving Bath’s vibrant property market. Truthfully, this is more of a case of old (and therefore the best) wine in a new bottle. That’s because Duncan Nash has been in the property
business for almost 30 years, having learnt his trade in the hurly-burly of London before moving to Bath twenty years ago. Having initially run a successful branch of a well known estate agency in Bath for a decade, Duncan has continued to be a major player in the Bath property market and is now delighted to be launching Nash & Co under his sole ownership. The operational base of Nash & Co will be in the prime location of George Street in the heart of the city. Duncan has an unrivalled knowledge of the Bath property scene and equally importantly he has built a reputation for providing a service that is truly personal and one based on integrity and honesty. Duncan is optimistic about his new company. ‘Bath is such an amazing place to work in and it has a fantastic range of properties. I know people poke fun at estate agencies for their clichés but can anyone show me a more desirable location or such a well-appointed city?’
Looking further ahead, Duncan is confident that Bath is going to prove even more attractive as a place to live in after the train line to London is electrified taking nearly one third off the journey time to Paddington. ‘Once that happens’ says Duncan ‘the journey from Bath to London is not much more than a tube journey and a better ride’. Everyone says that buying and selling a house is one of the most stressful of all human activities. At those times you want totally reliable and trustworthy people to steer you through the process, especially at the crisis times. Nash & Co is certainly a company that ticks all those boxes.
