James Forbes is a property advisor to Ultra High Net Worth clients at Strutt & Parker and heads up the agency’s Knightsbridge and Belgravia office. Having joined Strutt & Parker in 2003, he has specialised in Prime Central London property since 1997. James has bought and sold some of the very best properties and achieved a number of record sales for his clients. He works closely with many individuals as well as top property developers too.

“A number of my best clients have become friends over the years. I like to think this is because I pay close attention to my clients, building trust and respect over time when transacting significantly valuable assets.” James has specialised in the market for more than two decades and advises a wide range and variety of global and local HNWs, directing them to properties and investment opportunities that are ‘best in class’ across the capital.

“A large majority of my transactions take place off-market so I need to be able to provide discreet, confidential and strategic advice on real estate, investment purchase and disposal issues. Extensive market knowledge and an exceptional track record are a must, particularly if the market is in anyway unpredictable or uncertain.”
