Alex Christian

Spear's Review

Few advisers can claim to operate as smoothly in the UHNW property sphere as Alex Christian, who runs the London branch of Savills’ esteemed private office team.

Christian’s enviable understanding of London’s most sought-after properties, coupled with an almost religious devotion to discretion, means that clients tend to use him more than once.

The private office caters to a growing niche of global UHNWs looking for the sort of property available where ‘only a handful of individuals on the planet might buy it’. Christian is one of the few people around who can connect the dots.

Adviser Profile

Alex Christian is one of the founding members of The Private Office – an experienced single point of contact for in-depth global property expertise that guarantees the utmost professionalism and discretion. Represented across the UK, Europe, Asia, North America and the Middle East, The Private Office looks after global UHNWs looking to buy and sell the most aspirational homes in the world and can assist them in accessing the extraordinary myriad of property services that Savills offers. 

Sitting in Savills Sloane Street office, Alex heads up Savills London Private Office. Having sold some of the most prominent properties in prime central London for over 20 years, he has amassed a formidable reputation for discretion and cache of knowledge of the capital's super prime market. 

With vast expertise available across the Savills global network, Alex's role is to provide a confidential, bespoke and personal service to ultra-high net worth buyers and their advisors. His established reputation, alongside his encyclopaedic knowledge of the market, are the main reasons that he sees many clients returning time and again. He also has an infectious passion for the capital and is a firm believer that London will always have global appeal as somewhere to invest, live, base a business and educate children. 

Prime central London's reputation as a safe haven for international investment remains. London still looks like good value in a historical context, with prices well below the 2014 peak, and the pound remains weak against the American, Singapore, and Hong Kong dollar, as well as the Chinese Yuan, which has bought international buyers back to the capital 

New build apartments offering top of the range amenities and security continued to be favoured by these buyers – but, for the first time since the pandemic – we are also seeing overseas interest in large houses that require work, too.
