Thomas van Straubenzee
Spear’s Review
‘Knight Frank’s private office is a fully integrated residential and commercial real estate advisory team, advising and transacting for HNW clients and family offices,’ Thomas van Straubenzee tells Spear’s. ‘Our clients look to us for expert advice and benefit from one point of contact, a high-quality service and a long-term relationship.’
Van Straubenzee, who won the 2023 Spear’s Award for Property Adviser of the Year, says that many of his clients are ‘London lovers ... Right now, the UK is offering good value.’ When the phone rings on a Monday morning, it’s usually a call from his European and North American clients. ‘They ring any time, seven days a week!’
Global head of the private office, van Straubenzee has more than 20 years of experience in the London property market, qualifying as a chartered surveyor with Strutt & Parker and founding property agency VanHan with Rory Penn before it was acquired by Knight Frank.
