Harwood Advisory: Great British Brand 2023
‘I started Harwood Advisory in 2020, five days into the pandemic. It shouldn’t have worked but it did because people always want sound advice. My first acquisition was a house on the Wentworth Estate for an Asian client. I’d previously been a partner at Knight Frank where I worked in the high-end central London market and built up a range of contacts in south-east Asia and have continued to utilise and build this network. Harwood Advisory focuses on sales, acquisition, and advisory work.
‘Since then I’ve been joined by two partners, Susannah Fox and Anna Lazenbury. Susannah is also a Knight Frank alumna, educated at Cirencester and RICS qualified, with 15 years’ experience and now specialises in London and the Country. Anna has 18 years’ experience in the property sector, having worked for many years at the multi-disciplinary firm Stonehage Fleming running their buying arm. Together we form a tight-knit, hard-working, and agile team offering our clients the type of high-quality, discreet, day-and-night service they require and which, all too often, they do not get at the big international agencies.
‘We are driven by our clients in the kind of property we deal in; their needs are paramount, but probably our sweet spot is in the teens of millions. Recently we launched a 5,300 sq/ft house in Hans Place, one of the finest in Knightsbridge, for £14,950,000. Also on our books is a magnificent leasehold flat in Academy Gardens, just off Kensington High Street, at £8,250,000.
‘Outside the office I am a keen open-water and ice swimmer: even 200 metres in the Serpentine on a winter’s morning sets you up for the day.
‘We’re well placed to react to the market next year and it’s important to remember that despite everything which has been going on here, London remains the number one global city for foreign buyers.’ Sami Robertson, founder
