Commenting on the results, Simon Shaw, Group Chief Executive of Savills plc said:

“Despite the well-rehearsed challenges of tariffs and fiscal uncertainty, the Group has delivered a strong performance across the board. Whilst our Transaction Advisory business faced more challenging market conditions during Q2 and Q3 in some of our key markets, we continued to build strong transactional pipelines and were well positioned as clients’ confidence and appetite to transact accelerated into Q4, resulting in the strongest Q4 for our Transactional business since 2019. Our Less Transactional businesses delivered another year of strong revenue and profit growth and underpinned the strong cash generation, step up in earnings and dividend growth for the Group.”
