Rupert des Forges

Spear’s Review

A property guru with an ‘encyclopaedic’ knowledge of Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Chelsea, Rupert des Forges is Knight Frank’s head of prime central London developments. 

Des Forges has worked in London’s gilded postcodes for more than 30 years, with more than half of that time at Knight Frank. He has overseen the headline sales of the penthouse floors at 1 Grosvenor Square, 16 sales at Holland Park Villas and the penthouses at Clarges Mayfair. He’s witnessed ‘the greater resilience’ that prime central London developments possess in a challenging market, and noted that the ‘deal count’ is improving from recent years.
