global reach
Knight Frank is the largest independent property consultancy in the world, established more than
110 years ago and renowned for delivering consistent professional advice. We pride ourselves on
recruiting the best people and with more than 6,300 professionals globally, we have experts who
handle residential, commercial and agricultural property around the world.
Along with our people and global network, our track record of sold and let properties highlights
our ability to do the best job for our clients, and our research department ensures that we
have access to the latest market data. In addition, our use of technology gives us five points of
difference and no other agent can compete with us on all of these points.
Location matters
Our market appraisals are based on extensive experience and knowledge of the local area. This is complemented
by our national and global network. As the residential market becomes increasingly global and international
exposure becomes paramount, the benefit of this network becomes clear. With 245 offices spanning 43 countries,
we have a truly global reach and receive interest from a wide range of buyers, from those downsizing within the UK
to international investors and company executives moving from abroad. The fact that we build relationships with
each of our clients and applicants means that, whether they come from Chiswick or China, we will always source
you the best possible match from our ever-growing pool of potential buyers.

we understand
We put clients at the heart of everything we do
Our unique partnership culture allows us to put our clients at the heart of what we do. This means that our
service levels are driven by our clients’ needs, not those of external shareholders. As a result we have created an
environment that nurtures the best people in the business and genuinely allows us to give the best advice – the
sort of advice you’d give your family. What can be a life-changing process for many people – buying, renting or
letting a property – is handled with care, discretion, service, and professionalism at all times.

Our community
At Knight Frank we are recognised as a transparent and ethical
organisation in all our dealings. In 2012 we sponsored a number
of local events including the annual NSPCC Christmas Fair at
Phyllis Court, which was a resounding success and the Henleyon-Christmas event which helped raise funds for local charities.
Nationally, Knight Frank UK supported Movember, a global
campaign to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health.
As a whole our network raised in excess of £14,000 for this charity.
track record
The sale is in the detail
Clients come back to us again and again.
It’s not just about the years of experience, it’s about the results we deliver. Knight Frank is renowned for
marketing the most prestigious property around the world. But we are also hugely successful in marketing
‘best in class’ property wherever it is. The statistics support our performance, with an enviable track record
and clients keep coming back to us again and again.
In the last 12 months, 85% of our sales were priced under £2.5 million. On average, London buyers spent
£1.9 million and we achieved 15% more offers in 2012 than in the previous year and we achieved an average of
37% of the guide prices.
“Of all the professionals we have dealt with
during the sale and purchase process, Knight
Frank stand out as the best of the bunch
by a large margin. If we were to move again
then Knight Frank would be our first port of
call.”

Property search is evolving
Embracing new technology to support our
outstanding marketing of property ensures that we
can get property in front of more people, increasing
the chance of a successful sale or rental. The ‘near

afield.
Slightly closer to home, we are currently marketing
around 40 properties plus 12 privately in and around
the Henley, Marlow, Goring areas. These are available
to view on the global search site and on our iPhone
and iPad apps. Every day, properties are viewed over
900 through the global search.
The power of our website enables us to track who is
buying – from around the world, UK, London or in
our local areas, we can identify the best means of
targeting potential buyers for property.
