The International Project Marketing team at Savills has extensive knowledge of key global property markets. Within each market we understand the needs of investors looking to build a diverse real estate portfolio and the requirements of occupiers searching for a home.

Savills international strength and expertise combined with knowledge of the clients and developments we represent, means we are perfectly placed to ensure diverse real estate opportunities are effectively introduced to the most relevant global audience.

Our extensive track record of consulting and delivering on a broad range of developments, means we fully understand the USPs of each project and how best to tailor a bespoke international sales and marketing strategy.

This brochure will provide you with a snapshot of the services we offer. We would welcome the opportunity discuss your requirements further and explore how we can add value to your business.

Introduction

With the world becoming an ever smaller place, and global cities playing an increasingly active role in the flow of capital internationally, so too has the desire to explore and invest away from domestic markets and look further afield.

Charlie Walsh

Head of International Project Marketing

“Savills has worked on two of our residential projects, most notably at Rathbone Square. They are always responsive and proactive and obviously have great depth and breadth in the services they can provide.”

Neil Thompson Portfolio Director, Great Portland Estates

Some of the key factors for investing internationally include:

�Wealth preservation

� Education

� Investment rational (capital appreciation/rental yield)

� Political stability

By launching development projects in key international centres, developers are able to sell quickly and efficiently, most often exchanging contracts with a purchaser within hours of agreeing a price.

This allows developers to de-risk their capital exposure through a faster sales rate, test the price point and build value.

Why sell internationally?

According to the OECD, the UK receives the fourth highest amount of foreign direct investment in the world and London is arguably the most successful truly global city. International appetite for UK property has never been higher.

“Savills International Project Marketing have launched two separate phases of Quartermile, Edinburgh in South East Asia. I was extremely impressed by their professionalism and enthusiasm in attempting something new, as well as the reassuringly sound advice I received. I now want them to launch the final phase of the project next year.”

Paul Curran MD, Quartermile Ventures

Consultancy

Once we have established a project’s potential for international launch, a senior member of the International Project Marketing team will form part of the development consultancy group.

We are able to advise on apartment mix, design and specification; and can suggest appropriate amenities and resident services in order to maximise international demand. As part of our sales and marketing role we ensure that all collateral is suitable for our agreed international target markets.

As the launch date approaches, we provide a step by step plan and closely manage suppliers to deliver requirements on time and within budget.

Global launches

Depending on objectives, the International Project Marketing team will advise on relevant launch centres for maximum return.

The team will provide marketing and logistical advice and work in collaboration with colleagues at Savills offices in each launch centre.

A member of the team will travel to each centre and co-ordinate the launch event alongside our specialist international teams based throughout our global network.

Private meetings / 1:1s

Certain projects, often of a more sensitive nature and/or high price point, may require a different sales approach. By tapping into Savills extensive databases, we are able to arrange private meetings with buyers and wealthy investors who require a more discreet approach.

Seminars

The seminar format is a useful way of informing investors who are interested in building their market knowledge. Savills extensive global research capabilities means that we can deliver a variety of research-led seminars in order to update and inform potential purchasers on the latest market trends and how that relates to your project.

Savills Sales teams

We work directly with our international teams who are based in the key strategic global cities and specialise specifically in overseas investment. These teams also interact with their domestic sales teams as well as the other Savills departments, in order to tap into the wider Savills client base.

A member of the International Project Marketing team will conduct a full briefing prior to the commencement of sales, ensuring that all queries are answered and the sales people have a comprehensive understanding of the project.

We also arrange a bi-annual conference in London to ensure that international teams have a thorough understanding of London and the market as well as to view current and future development sites.

Exhibitions

The exhibition format is a tried and tested method of launching residential development projects on an international stage. Savills will advise on venue, marketing collateral, development model design and production, as well as sales strategy and management during the event.

Gavin Sung Head of Asia International Sales, Savills
