‘Clients come to us via our huge network, all funnelling

through to a small group of people working closely togeth-

er, based mostly in prime central London,’ says Holborow,

who is knowledgeable about all types of property splendour.

‘We deal in trophies across the range of style and taste. Not

the kind you hang on your walls. The kind that provide the

walls to hang things on: the jaw-droppingly delicate, the

symmetrically perfect, the old and atmospheric, the clas-

sically statuesque. The buyers of these trophy properties

are truly international, even if they are based in the UK,

and they very often have a number of exquisite properties

around the world.’

Edward Lewis, Head of London Residential Develop-

ments, articulates the benefits of the Savills approach in

selling new luxury developments or neighbourhoods. Take

Chelsea Barracks, one of London’s sought-after new residenc-

es. Blending sympathetically with the historic garden squares

of Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Chelsea, it holds allure for international

buyers. ‘Our across the Middle East and South-East Asia as well as

more local such as Mayfair and Sloane Street have worked seam-

lessly in referring buyers,’ Lewis reports. A global embrace of client care

is important. The team might host polo days in Jaipur, wine tastings in

Hong Kong, tours of the Savills show garden at Chelsea Flower Show and

the Savills Salon at Masterpiece, London. ‘Whatever it takes to secure

the confidence of all parties and show both domestic and international

clients that we understand their needs.’
