What Savills does

Savills Ireland operates as the Irish subsidiary of Savills plc, a London-listed global real estate advisory firm (LSE: SVNS) founded in 1855 and headquartered in Dublin at 33 Molesworth Street. Through offices in Dublin, Cork, and Belfast (including Osborne King in Northern Ireland), Savills Ireland delivers a full-service property platform spanning residential sales and lettings, commercial agency across offices, retail, industrial and logistics, hotels and leisure, investment advisory, development consultancy, debt advisory, ESG advisory, planning, building and project consultancy, and property management. The firm serves individual buyers and sellers, high-net-worth clients, property investors, developers, landlords, and institutional clients across Ireland, with connection into Savills' wider global network spanning 70+ countries, 700+ offices, and 42,000+ employees. Sub-brands include Workthere (flexible office space), Savills Live (virtual viewings), and an online auction platform with a 20+ year track record.

The revenue model blends transaction-based commissions on residential and commercial sales, recurring management fees on a portfolio with annual rent roll exceeding €300m and service charge expenditure above €45m, and professional services fees for advisory, debt, development, and valuation work. Pricing is quote-based and varies by property type, value, and scope. The go-to-market is sales-led through expert local agents, with enterprise field sales for institutional and HNW clients, complemented by a multilingual self-serve property search platform and specialist international desks (e.g., Portugal/Algarve). Proprietary technology comprises the Savills property search platform (22 languages), Savills Live virtual viewings, the online auction system, and the Clicktopurchase® online purchase brand; no AI-native capabilities are disclosed.

Distribution is delivered through three Irish offices and Savills' global office network, supported by direct enterprise sales, online self-serve search, and specialist international desks. Recent deal activity signals meaningful scale: €267m in prime country home sales across 194 deals in 2025, €589m in development land deals across 83 deals in 2025, and €197.7m in development land deals across 22 deals in Q1 2026. The firm is in active inorganic expansion mode, having completed the acquisitions of Osborne King (2025), The Building Consultancy (2026), and a majority stake in Alpina Holdings (Dec 2024), while the parent Savills plc has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Eastdil Secured LLC for $1,112.5m (March 2026) and formed a strategic association with The Beverly Hills Estates (April 2026). The competitive position rests on 170+ years of heritage, global brand recognition, multilingual cross-border reach, and an in-house sector-leading research function.
