About Madison Oakley

Meet our partners

Carey Gilliland - Residential Sales/Valuations

An amateur local historian, superhot chilli grower and a massive Star Wars fan, Carey spends most of his working days buzzing in and out of the office between meeting new and old clients. Even after over twenty years in the Bath property industry, he still really loves the balance of his job with plenty of fresh air and the daily chance to explore every little corner of the city he was born and brought up in. Carey’s speciality at Madison Oakley is advising property owners, including all types of property valuations, but you’ll also see him on lots of viewings keeping in touch with who’s out buying as well. He is also in charge of research and development for the company, including our regular blog articles and social media output. Outside of work, he’d love to be fishing on the coast but spends most of his time either in his garden or helping to maintain the village Recreation Ground.

Willum Long - Investment/Developments

A connoisseur of Baths finest coffee emporiums as well as a seasoned property developer and landlord, Will is originally from a little village near Salisbury but has been a fixture in Moorland Road since 2005. Having got his hands dirty on plenty of his own property projects, Will is the perfect choice at Madison Oakley to specialise in refurbishment and property enhancement advice to clients. If you’ve got questions on how to invest in property,  maximise the value of your home or redesign a layout then Will is the man to ask. In his spare time, Will is a Crossfit regular and classic car restorer but can also be found being taken for dog walks by Fred. 

Sarah Carpenter - Client Relations & Sales Progression

Probably already organising the Christmas after next and with her holidays definitely booked way in advance, Sarah is the undisputed organisational power in the office. First interested in Estate Agency when she and her husband sold their second family home, Sarah decided at the time she could have done a better job than the agent she chose but had to wait until her two boys were older to start her career in the property industry. After 9 years in the job, we’ve all learnt not to question the fact that she is right every time and her detail oriented approach makes her the ideal candidate at Madison Oakley to take charge of getting our clients sales through to completion. Sarah has a spreadsheet for every occasion and a huge web of contacts in the local legal profession. When not wrangling sales through, Sarah is an expert internet shopper and socialiser.

Davina Cook - Client Engagement & Compliance

Having returned from the dark side after several years in lettings and inventory production, Davina has many years of property experience all across our industry - both in Bath and out towards Somerset. She's also both a landlord herself and a serial Rightmove addict (as her husband would testify). That makes her the ideal first point of contact for buyers at MO as she can bring her considerable professional and personal experience in property to tackle any question on a viewing. In addition to dashing all over Bath on viewings, Davina runs a very tight ship in the office keeping us all in line by gently reminding us on paperwork and collecting due diligence from clients.

William Bell-Knight - Residential Lettings/Valuations

Crossing the border from Wiltshire every morning for work, a rugby loving hot tub aficionado with three dogs and a penchant for local pubs - William is the backbone of the lettings office. His specialisations at Madison Oakley are residential letting valuations, client accounts and keeping up to date with the latest industry legislation. Needs careful watching around sweets and would eventually like to live in Canada.

Sally Coles - Residential Lettings/Inspections

Often spotted around Moorland Road with a bag full of kit more comprehensive than an army recruit on basic training, Sally is a real livewire with a similar eye for detail to our Sarah and she is getting to grips with the intricate world of lettings following a switch from estate agency in Bath. Apart from needing her to keep William from misbehaving, Sally specialises in tenancy inspections, compliance and property viewings for Madison Oakley. When she’s not keeping order in the lettings office or familiarising herself with the latest lettings properties, you might find her improving her swing on the golf course or planning her next holiday abroad.

Harry Rowley - Residential Lettings/Maintenance

Harry has worked at Madison Oakley since 2020 and oversees all aspects of Property Maintenance. Harry ensures all reported issues are dealt with efficiently, and works closely with our trusted contractors to manage all repairs and maintenance on our properties.  As someone who has worked in all aspects of property management, he is always on hand to offer you advice and support when needed.

Karl Tossoun - Residential Lettings/Inspections

I have moved to Bath from London with my beautiful family recently & we love the Bath area and what it has to offer its residents. I enjoy travelling and seeing new things and cultures, an avid collector in anything interesting or that has a story, generally trying to keep my fingers in lots of pies to experience everything at least once in life. Having worked in property for many years, I enjoy every aspect of the industry, dealing with clients from all over the world in which has so far been a great career.

Molly Taylor - Residential Lettings/Accounts

Molly works on a part time basis with Madison Oakley whilst spending the rest of her time running around looking after her two lively young children. She has worked as a local Estate Agent in Bath as well as dealing with commercial properties throughout the Southwest and has many years’ experience in the property industry. Her role currently with Madison Oakley centres around dealing with the accounts and tenancy administration but is always happy to get involved in other areas to keep her hand in. In her spare time on the odd occasion she gets some, you will find Molly browsing in trendy clothes shops and very possibly at the spa in Center Parcs (if she’s lucky)!
