The Luxury Property Collections Lookbook 1
WELCOME
Thank you for taking the time to view The Luxury Property Collection Lookbook 2020. This is our
first edition and is something we will be publishing annually in the future.
We understand the time and consideration that goes into finding your next property, so created
this Lookbook to inspire and assist you in your search. This Lookbook is a compilation of the best
properties from some of the world’s leading agents. You will find homes from the most exciting
cities, beautiful beaches, peaceful lakes, on the golf course, and up in the mountains. Whatever
your lifestyle, we have something to suit you, whether that’s a traditional villa full of character
or a sleek and modern apartment. Each page has a link through to the estate agent’s website for
more details about the property.
We believe that a luxury home is about much more than the bricks and mortar; it’s about how
you live in it too. So we asked high-end interior designer, Parinaz from Anvari Design, to explain
the interior design trends for 2020 and provide some failproof tips to help you decorate your new
property.
Is time not really on your side? Galleon are a leading international property search agency who
can assist you in finding your perfect new home. You will find more information about the
services that they offer on page 4.
In such a volatile political and economic time as the present, ensuring that your purchase is
protected is of the utmost importance. Currency volatility is a significant risk to your capital,
unless you have appropriate risk management strategies in place, as Smart Currency Premier
explains on page 18.
If you like what you see, make sure you join us at The Luxury Property Show, taking place in
London in early 2021. These properties and so much more will be on display for you to view. You
will be able to meet with estate agents and the other industry experts from all over the world
while you sip a refreshing glass of champagne. Register your interest via our website and when
dates are confirmed and tickets on sale we will be in touch.

Looking beyond Coronavirus: What does the pandemic mean for Europe’s property markets? Luxury international buying agents, Galleon Property Search, evaluate the effects of COVID-19 on the European property market for foreign investors. As experts in the European property market, we’re already seeing the ripple effects of the pandemic taking hold. The global property market is holding its breath. Many of the predictions made in 2019 about key European property markets 2020 are falling flat – but they do give us some insight into the post- COVID-19 property world. The question we’re asking is: what will the markets look like for foreign investors? MONACO Despite being the second smallest country in the world, Monaco has long maintained the throne as the world’s most expensive property market. The Luxury Property Collections Lookbook 4
Property prices in Monaco average €48,000 per sq/m, far outpacing Hong Kong, Paris and New York, and the booming real estate market reached a staggering €2.8 billion in 2019 (4.4% growth from 2018). Prices in Monaco have consistently remained relatively immune to challenges faced by other property markets – and are unlikely to see any sharp fall after COVID-19. With demand outstripping supply for years now, Monaco’s wealth benefit and tax system, combined with its unique location and lifestyle, will always be appealing to international investors. Read our full Monaco update here. PORTUGAL The Portuguese property market has enjoyed steady growth in the past 5 years, both in the number of transactions and prices. With unemployment rising during this pandemic, we’re likely to see a fall in demand/prices in sub-markets driven by domestic buyers, like Porto and mainland areas, which could present appealing opportunities for foreign investors. However, as the 2020 tourism season vanishes, buy-to-let landlords will suffer, and certainly won’t experience the 5-6% yields seen in previous years. Lisbon and top-end sub-markets, like Quinta Do Lago, where demand is higher than supply and is driven by foreign buyers, are unlikely to be dramatically affected. Moreover, Portugal’s Non-Habitual Residency programme (10% tax on foreign revenues) might attract an increasing number of international buyers looking to reduce their tax liabilities during this economic crisis. Read our full Portugal update here. LONDON London’s property market entered the COVID-19 period on rocky foundations. Driven by Brexit uncertainty, property prices, recorded at the end of 2019, had fallen by as much as 15 – 20% in parts of central London since the referendum four years ago. London’s market is primarily driven by foreign investment, meaning we should expect a small short-term impact on residential prices, but not a huge drop. On the contrary, the commercial market (including high street premises) is already struggling. With many businesses facing closures, availability of The Luxury Property Collections Lookbook 5
commercial property will increase and prices will fall. The residential market prices will be largely determined, not by the freeze in transactions during the pandemic, but by political negotiations between the UK and the EU. If a trade deal is agreed, the market is likely to thrive on increased prices; however, if a deal remains elusive, it is likely that prices will come under further pressure. Either way, London will remain a buyer’s market for the foreseeiable future. Read our full London update here. FRANCE France enjoyed a record-breaking year in 2019, with over 1 million transactions and prices rising by 8% in Paris, 7.3% in Toulouse and 11% in Lyon. Experts predicted a similar year for 2020, but the pandemic has changed predictions. Areas of France driven by foreign investment should be well-protected and prices should hold, or decline only slightly, in 2020. Paris, the Alps, some parts of South West France and areas of the French Riviera have consistent appeal to foreign purchasers, and are likely to see continued investment. However, outside of these areas France’s property market is dependent on domestic demand. Despite Macron’s pledges to support businesses through the pandemic, domestic purchasing power is likely to drop, resulting in falling prices in certain areas of the country. Read our full France update here. SPAIN Of the European markets, Spain is likely to be hardest hit by this pandemic. Despite the property market having steadily grown over the past four years, the Spanish economy relies heavily on tourism. With the 2020 tourist season eradicated, we’re likely to see a spike in unemployment as well as a fall in domestic demand and property prices. Combined with a 9% increase in planning permission granted in 2019, supply severely outweighs demand in most parts of Spain. As prices fall due to the pandemic, there will be ample opportunities for investors – but, the market must be carefully navigated. One area of Spain where prices are likely to remain well-protected is the The Luxury Property Collections Lookbook 6
Balearic Islands. Not only are they desirable for foreign investors looking for a stress-free lifestyle, demand consistently outweighs supply at the top-end, thanks to regulations restricting planning permission. Read our full Spain update here. IS IT TIME TO INVEST IN EUROPEAN PROPERTY? The COVID-19 pandemic will hit global economies hard – and property markets are no exception. However, as we’ve seen, there will be opportunities created too. For those who maintain (or gain) purchasing power, falling property prices and interest rate cuts create an ideal environment for investment. For investors or buyers able to take advantage of this unique situation, decisions must be informed, sensible and made quickly. Once the peak of this crisis has passed, the property markets will be a hive of activity: sellers desperate to release equity, buyers determined to finish their property search, and investors looking for property bargains will all be vying for the best position. At Galleon, our team and network of on-the-ground partners gives us unique insight into these markets. Our years of expertise and unlimited access to on- and off- market properties help clients make the most of their investments. The winners in these unchartered waters will be those with the experts by their sides, helping to navigate this new world. It has never been more important to have a buying agent working on your behalf.

CURRENCY PREMIER How to protect your international property purchases in volatile times These are volatile times for anyone purchasing a property overseas. From Covid-19 and a potential no-trade-deal Brexit to political instability in Hong Kong and the upcoming US elections, the global economy is rife with uncertainty. For many property buyers, this is the precise environment when plans turn to looking internationally, with the aim of diversifying their portfolio and minimising the risk. However, this does expose you to one further risk: currency volatility. The foreign exchange markets are completely unpredictable and, if you don’t put in place strategies in advance, you have no way of knowing how much the fixed price you agree in one currency will cost you in another until the moment you come to pay. THE RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS The markets react to an almost never-ending list of stimuli, from headline- making economic releases and political decisions through to something as small as a thumbs-up from a minister, or hearsay of what a speech will contain. The Luxury Property Collections Lookbook 18
As the world absorbs the economic impact of Covid-19, we expect the markets to continue to be even more volatile. Already, throughout spring 2020, the pound against the euro rose and fell by almost 15%. The impact of this is clear. Imagine you are purchasing a €3,000,000 château in France in pound sterling. Between February and March, the eventual price of that château would have increased by almost £500,000. None of us would accept a margin of error for costs of almost 20% for any business decision – so why accept the same for a property purchase? PROTECTING YOUR CAPITAL AGAINST MARKET RISK There are any number of forecasts out there which will tell you which way the pound, the euro or the dollar are going – but none of them are ultimately more than educated guesses. If nothing else, the law of probability says that the majority of them have to be wrong, as none of them agree. The major banks’ predictions for GBP/USD for 2021, for instance, have a 30c spread. The solution, then, is not to attempt to second-guess the markets, but to put into place plans to secure your money against those live markets in advance. At Smart Currency Premier, many of our clients are buying property or other assets such as yachts across borders. For the vast majority of these people, the safest option is a forward contract. This secures you a fixed exchange rate, usually for up to two years. That way, whenever the markets drop, your capital is unaffected. The process is simple. You discuss your situation with your Personal Trader and agree to the exchange rate to be fixed and the total sum that you will be looking to exchange in the future. Upon payment of a small deposit, typically around 10%, your Personal Trader will purchase the total currency on your behalf. It is held in a segregated, secure client account, ready to exchange when you need it. With a forward contract in place, you can draw up a realistic plan for your purchase or investment, knowing that you won’t encounter significant hidden costs at the very last minute. To discuss suitable risk management solutions for your money, speak to Smart Currency Premier today on +44 (0)20 3504 4694. The Luxury Property Collections Lookbook 19

Natural Selection: the four big design trends for 2020 Earthy colours, warm curves and a genuine love for Planet Earth: 2020 is all about bringing nature back inside, for corporate clients and in the home too. SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS There is a growing trend these days to jump on the eco- bandwagon and blindly follow a few basic principles of reducing environmental damage to our ecosystem. In my view, sustainability is not a passing trend but a necessity, and I put it into practice wherever possible, as do most forward-thinking customers. Interior design in 2020 will see a rise of more sustainable materials and technologies being rolled out into retail spaces, offices and in people’s homes. To complement this, especially within the home, we’re getting into the habit of high-end upcycling, repairing treasured objects in favour of buying new. This is such an easy premise and we don’t need to lose the elegance or beauty in a design: just approach the reinvention with creativity and care. There is a huge trend in the commercial, retail and consumer world for going back to nature, becoming more connected: such a simple concept but so very rewarding. TALKING TEXTURES The latest interiors news is all about using warm, earthy tones like deep browns, olive greens and raw yellow ochre, and this is a concept that neatly translates into the use of textures too. Interesting fabrics invite us to touch and explore, connecting us back to the present day and giving us talking points. The Luxury Property Collections Lookbook 54
By using warm woods and tactile stone
surfaces, we’re inviting people to relax
and enjoy their surroundings in a way that
makes them feel anchored and connected,
living together in natural harmony.
Layering is a great approach to breaking
out of flat, two-dimensional schemes.
For a recent project in a south-east Asian
restaurant, I incorporated rattan-effect
wallpaper with heavy botanic prints and simple wicker furniture, an important
nod towards the origin of the food as well as the chance to surround diners
with natural fabrics and tones. Building a design story with layered textures
lends interest to a space.
COOL CURVES
Curves are a growing trend as they help
engender an organic, human feel; it’s hard
not to fall in love with a curvy line, when it’s
such a very human shape. In the same way
that organic layering is bringing a natural slant
to our use of textures, so it is with shape and
form.
When I’m designing I always consider the
emotional experience of being within a space: when we walk into a room, the
feelings we get from the experience are so important.
In our Portman Square project I was designing the huge lobby, a vast atrium
that needed a warm approach, so we came up with the idea of designing
a bespoke ring-shaped gold light fitting. This giant sculpture would be
overlooked by two internal glass elevators: whenever a person stepped into
one of the lifts they would see this beautiful curvy piece from many different
angles.
The finished fitting looks amazing and dramatic but it’s had a humane effect
too – by using soft curves in that wide open space, the lobby has been
given an essential social warmth, affording its workers a special connective
experience whenever they walk.
The Luxury Property Collections Lookbook 55BEAUTIFUL BIOPHILIA
We live in a tech-centric age and spend all of
our time looking at screens, and far less time
outside. In fact, research shows that 90 per
cent of our time is spent inside. Outside time
is increasingly important to us and biophilic
design (a term broadly denoting a love of
nature) addresses this so well; it is being
heralded as one of the most popular choices
for themes in modern offices.
Gone is the sad little potted office plant sitting alone on a shelf: these days
designers are being tasked with filling interiors with green, in the form of
living walls, natural light and spacious communal areas.
I always have flowers dotted about – my favourite is a stunning purple
butterfly plant from Iran given to me by my mother. I have grown it for years
and I love giving clients a cutting now and then. It’s such a joyous plant to
look at, and to share.
We can’t undo the damage we have done to our planet overnight, but we can
do our best ensure we’re bringing the best products into our homes. This is
very much the current mode and it’s put into play in all sorts of ways, from
reducing the use of non-renewable materials, to shifting towards ‘greener’
brands and investing in products that don’t cost much environmentally. All
these natural trends look set to continue through the year and beyond.

in the commercial and residential sectors, both in the
UK and abroad, offering a bespoke service for those
seeking a unique, warm, creative approach.
