As lifestyles have changed during the course of the pandemic, there has been an increase in ultra-high net worth individuals leaving London and flocking to country and seaside locations in search for the rural idyll. It’s not British buyers. There has been a surge in sales from overseas purchasers wanting to snap up their trophy country home to add to their prime property portfolio. With prices continuing to rise, the quest for clean air, larger spaces and nature on your doorstep, this trend is here to stay. However buying, developing, maintaining and living country houses is often very different to the London experience. Many of these properties are historic, listed and need of tender loving care. Having the right team around you is essential and knowledge of these unique properties even more so.

At the beginning of the webinar, James Carter-Brown, Head of UK Residential Building Consultancy at Knight Frank provided his insight into delivering a luxury country house project. This was pre-recorded as James has an extremely important client commitment to attend.

We then jumped into the panel discussion where The Luxury Property Forum were joined by the following panel of speakers:
