WATERFRONT VIEW 2022: THE FINEST WATERFRONT PROPERTIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Welcome to the abridged digital edition of Waterfront View, Knight Frank’s annual publication dedicated to showcasing the very finest waterfront properties across the UK and the rest of the world. If you would prefer to either download a PDF of our full printed version, or indeed have a printed copy posted to you, do please click on the red buttons above (please remember to include your address in your email!).

This year, I write my welcome with a sense of pride as much as I do relief, as our situation changes. The pandemic’s legacy will be lasting, and for many of us, the seismic shift of the past two years has impacted lives in ways unforeseen.

However, some have also been able to change their lives immeasurably for the better. From my perspective, I’m grateful we can help people make these changes by seizing on their dream to live on the water’s edge.

We also know how much harder it is becoming to do this. Globally, demand for waterfront property outstrips supply. Understanding how, where and when to buy that dream home is becoming more complicated. But we hope the insight and inspiration contained within these pages will help you do this.

From our expert commentary on the UK and international property market, to a selection of all property types on our coasts and riversides, we believe we can help you find that perfect property.

Please do read the other articles, too, which delve into why the UK has it all in terms of waterfront lifestyles – a personal favourite is the feature on Clinton Devon Estates’ effort to preserve and reinvigorate hectares of heathland and wetlands, to benefit the natural environment.

As ever, do get in touch if you wish to find out how we may help you. I believe the knowledge and skill set my team has built in this niche market puts us in a better position to do so than any other agent, and it’s earned us the trust and loyalty of many clients over 16 years. We would also like to thank those who are familiar with Knight Frank for placing their trust in us – without you we couldn’t move forward as leaders in our market.

I wish you well, and a fantastic second half of your year.
