Savills has established a London-based Dutch desk as part of its global residential department. Headed by Dutchman Deyan Visser, the desk will provide Netherlands-based and Dutch-speaking clients with a single point of contact for their residential real estate needs outside of the Netherlands.

“We see a number of Dutch individuals looking for second homes across Europe and the Middle East, whether it’s for a holiday home in the sun or the Alps, or a purchase driven by relocation or fiscal needs,” comments Deyan Visser. “This desk has been created to provide best-in-class advice to help these buyers navigate the residential real estate market outside their home country.”

“We are noticing a growing demand from Dutch clients seeking properties outside the Netherlands, and the new Dutch desk in London offers a single point of contact to support this group,” says Clive Pritchard, Head of Country at Savills Netherlands. “While the desk is currently focused on clients looking to purchase abroad, we see this as an initial step, and a future expansion of our residential services within the Netherlands is not ruled out.”

Savills Netherlands provides a range of commercial real estate services including property management, valuation, leasing, investment, and building & project consultancy. Over the last year, Savills has expanded its services to include residential property management, mainly focused on mixed-use schemes owned by institutional investors. The Dutch desk exemplifies Savills' global strategy to expand its strong residential brand in core markets across the Savills network.
