Andrew Grant

Spear’s Review

Bought in 1910 by W.G. Tarrant and developed to serve as a haven for the families of London’s industry titans, the St George’s Hill estate sits within 964 acres of stunning Surrey countryside. In the subsequent century it has become the home of celebrities, international CEOs and some of the UK’s wealthiest people.

Few agents know the hill quite as well as Curchods partner Andrew Grant. ‘It’s my patch and it’s where I’ve specialised since 1987,’ he tells Spear’s. ‘It’s private, gated, centred around a golf course and tennis club, and there is a very high emphasis on security.’

Unsurprisingly, Grant’s clients require a high level of discretion, a benefit he says a bespoke agency like Curchods can provide: ‘I’ve managed to build a reputation through word of mouth, a little black book of clients and a lot of them prefer a more discreet bespoke approach – they don’t always want to go to the big boys.’ 

His approach appears to be working; he reports £64 million in sales in 2024.
