Irene Luke is the property savant raising Savills’ profile in the ‘crowded’ marketplace of Monaco, where land reclamation is progressing more slowly than the rise of new-build apartments.

‘Whether clients are buying or selling, you’ve got to really know the market to make sure they are getting a fair deal,’ she says, adding that she was a commercial property lawyer in London who moved to Monaco and then joined Savills in 2011, becoming a co-managing partner a year on.

Luke says she is an ‘extremely cautious’ adviser to HNWs looking to buy: ‘I just don’t think you can really give concrete advice that someone can rely on for ever – things change very quickly here.’
