In their new roles, they will be tasked with leading their teams and building the firm’s market share in their respective areas.

Reason commented: “I’ve always admired the firm’s [Knight Frank’s] professionalism and commitment to excellence. I am thrilled to be returning to work with the talented Islington team, it presents an exciting opportunity to be a part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team in a wonderfully vibrant location.”
Lerner has worked in the North London market since his career began in 2013. During his time at Savills, he advanced from junior negotiator to become a high performing prime and super prime negotiator and finally assistant manager in Hampstead.
Lerner said: “Joining this team combined with returning to Hampstead— an area which I am very passionate about, with over 10 years’ experience in— presents a fantastic opportunity. I look forward to building on our strong presence here.”
Slack began her property career in 2016 as a roaming negotiator across prime central London, before focusing predominately on Fulham and Chelsea for five years. She was one of the fastest promoted managers during this time, reaching senior lettings manager before her move to Knight Frank.
Slack said: “Living in Battersea, I’ve come to appreciate the area’s vibrant mix of amenities, alongside its blend of modern developments and period homes. It’s clear why interest and appeal in the area continue to grow. I look forward to working collaboratively with the team to drive even greater success.”

Hannah has returned to Knight Frank in an important leadership role, and I am equally delighted to welcome Rob, who I have known for 10 years, and Julia to lead key parts of our business. I do not doubt all three will continue building on our current success and help propel the growth of our lettings business.”
