James Gilbert-Green

Spear’s Review

James Gilbert-Green is no stranger to big-money deals in high-profile places. According to one top lawyer who alluded to his expertise in One Hyde Park apartments, Gilbert-Green concluded what was thought to be the ‘biggest deal’ in residential prime central London in 2021. Gilbert-Green himself puts his average deal value at £30 million, thanks to some major recent transactions which have, on occasion, breached the £100-million mark. 

In 2021, along with business partner James Forbes, he founded Forbes Gilbert-Green to build on his well-established reputation for discretion and privacy – two key qualities sought by UHNWs looking to buy. Forbes Gilbert-Green aims to take a strategic approach to bring the very best properties to market. A premier super-prime operator, with more than a decade of experience in the coveted districts of Kensington, Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Belgravia, Gilbert-Green is described by one industry peer as ‘extremely pleasant to deal with’ and ‘very knowledgeable’.
