Knight Frank

Knight Frank is the world’s largest privately owned property consultancy firm. Headquartered in London, the company has over 480 offices across 53 territories employing more than 20,000 people. It is backed by 126 years of experience in helping clients transact their most important assets, with a focus on building relationships that last a lifetime.

Founded in 1896, Knight Frank (called Knight Frank & Rutley at the time) was initially a valuations, surveying, and auctions business. Its first sale took place at Conduit Street in London. A century later, the company was well on its way to expanding internationally, with offices opening across the globe. By the 2020s, Knight Frank has become one of the world's leading independent real estate consultancies – a legacy that includes key alliances with US-based commercial real estate firms, Cresa and Berkadia.

Knight Frank specialises in residential, commercial, and international property. The company partners with any of the parties in the property lifecycle, from buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, and occupier to investor and developer. They have the expertise and knowledge to guide customers through a personal home purchase, while also being able to give top-tier advice on buying, selling, leasing, investing, and developing commercial properties. Knight Frank has a host of helpful service lines, including residential development, rural consultancy, and their own financial advisory business, Knight Frank Finance, which provides a comprehensive mortgage and insurance service.

The Knight Frank team also has access to a deep well of property industry knowledge. Their in-house research department provides market-leading insights as they distil the latest trends, forecasts, comments, and expert opinions on global property markets. This valuable information is put together in industry original publications, including The Wealth Report, Active Capital, and The View.
