Winston Score History

The full picture

Savills is a global real estate services firm based in London. It helps people and businesses buy, sell, lease, and manage properties — from office buildings and shopping centers to farms and luxury homes. The company also offers consulting and valuation services, and it is one of the largest real estate advisors in the world by revenue.

Savills makes money by charging fees and commissions on property transactions, plus recurring fees for managing buildings on behalf of landlords and investors. It operates across more than 70 countries, with strong roots in the UK and significant exposure to Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. Its brand reputation and global network give it an edge over smaller local firms. However, the business is heavily tied to transaction volumes, which fall sharply when interest rates rise or property markets slow — making revenue quite cyclical and sensitive to the broader economic environment.
