01 — Overview

What Knight Frank does

Knight Frank's Private Office sits within a 130-year-old independent real estate consultancy that operates across more than 70 countries and 600 offices. For family offices with significant real estate holdings or acquisition mandates, that global footprint translates into direct access to on-the-ground deal flow, local pricing intelligence, and cross-border transaction support that generalist advisors typically cannot replicate.

The Private Office is positioned as the firm's dedicated offering for high-net-worth individuals and families pursuing real estate as a wealth-building or legacy vehicle. The range of services available through Knight Frank relevant to private wealth clients includes:

  • Prime residential sales and acquisitions across Europe, the UK, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa
  • Commercial property investment advisory through the capital markets division
  • Valuation and independent advisory services supporting investment and lending decisions
  • Energy and sustainability consultancy for portfolio compliance and value enhancement
  • Access to super-prime and off-market residential inventory globally

Knight Frank remains an independent partnership, which means it does not carry the conflicts of interest that can arise when real estate advisory sits inside a bank or asset manager with proprietary products. The My Knight Frank client portal provides ongoing visibility into property holdings, transaction progress, and research. Pricing for advisory and brokerage services is not disclosed publicly and will vary by transaction type and geography. The firm's focus is squarely on real assets; it does not offer broader family office services such as portfolio reporting across financial assets, family governance, or tax and legal structuring. Families seeking a single integrated family office platform will need to source those capabilities elsewhere.

Whether it's building an investment portfolio or creating a legacy for the next generation, we enable clear, confident real estate journeys.
