Over 45 Years of Prime Central London Expertise
We aren't just property consultants; we are part of the fabric of Belgravia. Since 1979, we have navigated the nuances of the prime Central London market, offering our clients a level of insight that only comes from decades of boots-on-the-ground experience. Whether you are looking to acquire a rare mews house or require a complex valuation for a lateral apartment in Eaton Square, we provide the trusted, discreet guidance you need.
Our approach is deeply personal. We understand that property in areas like Kensington, Mayfair, and Chelsea is more than just an asset—it is a legacy. Many of our clients have been with us for over twenty years, trusting us to handle their portfolios with the independence and integrity they deserve.
Led by Christopher and Caroline Ames
Our business is built on the professional expertise of Christopher Ames, MRICS. A Chartered Valuation Surveyor who has operated in Belgravia for over four decades, Christopher has appraised almost every significant mansion, apartment, and mews house in the area. In many cases, he has sold the same prestigious properties four times over during his career.
Christopher is supported by his wife, Caroline Ames, who co-founded Ames Belgravia in 2009. Bringing a background in racing administration and a multilingual perspective (speaking both French and Italian), Caroline ensures our operations run with precision and an international outlook.
