Leaders in Luxury Awards 2025

Edition & Year | 5 uilt around the cornerstones of professionalism, discretion, and client care, Alexander Millett International offers its signature solutions to a small number of exclusive clients, tailoring its provisions to their specific needs. This spans everything from sales and lettings to acquisition advice and property management, not to mention bespoke estate and portfolio management services for its larger clients. Excellence across this service suite is achieved thanks to the foundation of trust they are delivered from and the firm’s unrivalled connections. All of this starts with Alexander himself, who established his eponymous firm as a way to more than meet the needs of those in the property services market looking for a higher calibre of professional advice – underpinned by a level of intimacy that only a small, private, and family office can deliver. Combined, these factors have driven year-on-year growth for the firm, largely as a result of word-of-mouth recommendations from both its current clients and its high-level property and financial industry contacts. “These recommendations are due to our discrete, professional, and personal approach in dealing with all aspects of our clients’ property needs.” No stranger to serving clients like private individuals, family offices, and property investors, Alexander’s career spans more than 25 years working for a string of industry-leading firms. Starting out in property in 1999, Alexander cut his teeth at W.A. Ellis of Knightsbridge, a traditional surveying and estate agency firm that was established in 1868 and acquired by JLL – the third largest real estate practice 100 years of combined expertise unites the leading forces behind Alexander Millett International, an independent and award-winning international boutique residential agency and surveying business. Working both across London and internationally, the firm balances a comprehensive range of bespoke property services with the dedication one expects of a private family office, resulting in its recognition here as the Best International Bespoke Residential Real Estate Firm 2025. We caught up with the firm’s namesake founder to find out more about its work. Alexander Millett International: Boutique, Independent, Elite in the world – in 2014. Alongside this job, Alexander completed a degree in estate management and qualified as a chartered surveyor. Alexander joined Knight Frank as a partner in 2011, with his role consisting primarily of prime and super-prime transactions across London. This led to Alexander heading up BNP Paribas Real Estate’s UK International & Private Client Division – where he advised UHNWI on superprime real estate properties in London – on the back of a merger between the firm and Alexnader Millett International in April 2022. Joining forces saw clients of both firms access unrivalled knowledge of the property market – in the UK and abroad. Regardless of where in the world it is doing its work, Alexander Millett International prides itself on embodying luxury, which – for its eponymous founder – means: “the epitome of excellence and best-inclass assets.” The firm demonstrates an awareness of this at every turn, from partnering with Rolls-Royce for the centenary of the Phantom to offering its global partners unparalleled coverage in the realm of key real estate locations globally. These include New York, San Francisco, Barbados, and even the south of France. Working in these environments is incredibly rewarding for Alexander, who told us that he chose to operate in the luxury sector in order to represent some of the best properties – and clients – in the world. Building relationships with these clients has been the highlight of a remarkable career, but it has not been without its difficulties. Alexander explained: “It always looks much easier from the outside, but it is a very difficult industry to get to the top of, being highly competitive.” Nevertheless, he has succeeded. Testament to the impact of Alxander and the firm is the array of glowing client feedback they both receive. An example comes from John May of John May Law, who said: “Dealing with Alexander Millett has been a most satisfying experience. Alexander knows what is to be done and does it well. Anthony Cross of Liontrust added: “Alexander Millett are the perfect advisers if you are thinking of buying a property. They add significant value throughout the whole buying experience and I thoroughly recommend using them.” Given its success in elevating luxury real estate internationally – something it achieves by redefining the market thanks to its elite network, unparalleled expertise, and prestigious partnerships – Alexander Millett International is excited to announce its plans to open up shop in two new locations.
