Were only high-end brands invited? A clean sweep from Knight Frank and Savills - what a surprise!
Still, Alexander Armstrong might have made the super-rich love-in bearable.
Is that a whole portion of chips on your shoulder, Rob? You couldn't sound more bitter if you tried.
@Kelly Evans - not bitter, just a realist.
Savills have an unfairly bad reputation. For some reason, they seem as hated as Foxtons. Maybe it's because they're really successful.
There's also this perception that Savills only deal in high-end areas. Estate agency is only part of what they do, and they don't deserve the hate they seem to get from people bashing them as enablers of the super-rich.
It's not the fault of Savills, Foxtons or Knight Frank for the influx of wealthy overseas investors. We need to look closer to home for that. If the government and Boris are going to roll out the red carpet for billionaires and oligarchs, these high-end agents can't be criticised for taking advantage of that.
