Raised and educated in Aberdeen, Luke brings extensive experience gained in London’s prime lettings market and now returns to Scotland to lead Savills Edinburgh team.

Following a period of change in Scotland’s rental sector, his role will focus on overseeing service delivery, supporting portfolio growth, and providing clear guidance to clients. With strong tenant demand and growing confidence among landlords, he will work closely with colleagues across Scotland and the wider UK network to ensure clients receive informed, strategic advice.

Luke joins Savills from Knight Frank in South Kensington, following five years at Marsh & Parsons in Notting Hill, where he built a strong track record in client service, lettings strategy and team leadership.

Commenting on his appointment, Luke said: “This has been a pivotal period for Scotland’s lettings sector, but with greater clarity now in place and strong, continued demand from tenants, I’m looking forward to supporting landlords with clear guidance and helping them make confident decisions as new opportunities emerge. I’m delighted to be returning to Scotland and joining Savills in Edinburgh - it’s a fantastic market to be part of.”

John Forsyth, residential director at Savills Edinburgh, said:  “Edinburgh remains one of the most sought‑after cities in the UK. Its highly regarded universities create a strong graduate talent pool, with many choosing to stay on as young professionals. Steady in‑migration from the rest of the UK and overseas, and the city’s appeal as a vibrant capital, help create a deep and reliable tenant base.”

Amelia Greene, head of Savills UK Lettings, added: “Luke brings valuable experience, strong leadership skills and a deep understanding of the lettings sector. His appointment reinforces our commitment to providing best‑in‑class advice to clients across the city. With the market showing renewed stability and sustained tenant demand, landlords are once again exploring opportunities, and Luke is exceptionally well placed to support them as they do so.”

Based at Savills Edinburgh office, Luke will oversee lettings across a wide range of properties, from city‑centre flats to family houses and premium homes, supporting both private landlords and institutional investors.
