Typical Mandate
Knight Frank is engaged by owners and buyers of prime and super-prime residential property, with its Private Office concentrating on London houses and apartments above 10 million pounds and comparable assets in the Home Counties, Alps, Riviera and Gulf. Clients include UK families, international buyers relocating to London and family offices building residential portfolios. Sellers use the firm for confidential marketing and valuation; buyers retain it for search and negotiation. Commercial, rural and development advisory sit alongside.
How to Engage
Principals and family offices usually approach the Private Office or the local residential office directly through the firm's website, or via introduction from a private banker, lawyer or existing client. A written brief on location, budget and requirements is expected; for super-prime searches the firm will ask for proof of funds before arranging viewings. Sellers can request a valuation and a recommendation on whether to market openly or off-market.
