Typical Mandate
A seller of a prime London house or a country estate wanting discreet handling rather than a portal listing, or a buyer seeking access to properties before they reach the open market. Private Office mandates typically start around five million pounds and extend to trophy assets in the tens of millions, in London, the Cotswolds, the Alps and select European cities. Savills also advises on rural estates, where land, sporting rights and tax combine with residential value.
How to Engage
Principals and family offices can approach Savills Private Office directly through the firm's website or via referral from a private bank, lawyer or existing client; regional offices handle transactions outside the Private Office remit. Buyers should expect to demonstrate proof of funds before being shown off-market stock and to give a clear brief on location, budget and timing. Sellers receive a valuation and a marketing proposal that may exclude public advertising entirely.
