UK Sotheby’s International Realty has strengthened its dominance in West London with its fifth office and a handpicked team of esteemed local property experts. The brokerage is launching a new flagship office on Kensington Church Street. This marks the business’ fifth outpost in just two years, underscoring its grip on London’s super-prime property market. The new office will primarily serve Kensington, Notting Hill, Holland Park and Bayswater, fortifying the firm’s foothold in Central West London. This move also bolsters the brokerage’s strategic expansion beyond its Prime Central London stronghold, extending its reach across the capital and into key markets throughout the United Kingdom.

George Azar, Chairman & CEO of Dubai, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia Sotheby’s International Realty, commented, “When we relaunched two years ago, we set out to disrupt the UK’s super-prime property market and have achieved many milestones since. Our new office in Kensington reaffirms this mission, as we continue to drive growth, innovate, and establish new standards for exceptional, luxury living. We are committed to redefining the client experience and take pride in delivering the world-class service expected from the Sotheby’s brand.”
The opening of the new office is a direct response to increasing demand from a new generation of discerning clients – particularly families drawn to West London’s most coveted postcodes. These neighbourhoods offer everything they value most: outstanding schools, expansive green spaces, a strong sense of community, and exceptional connectivity. With this expansion, United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty is ideally positioned to help clients find homes that reflect and support their evolving lifestyles.
