TEAM

Alex Seddon
Managing Director
aseddon@privateclients-uk.com

Alex has a natural flair for property - finding amazing sites and unusual or special projects, analysing and dreaming about what can be achieved and then constructing these dreams into exciting and creative properties. He began his career working as a central London estate agent between 1997 and 2004, initially with Foxtons in South Kensington and then in the house department of WA Ellis in Knightsbridge (now Jones Lang Lasalle). During these 7 years, Alex also conducted a series of small but successful property developments. As a result of these, he left agency to source and develop top end residential projects for the international market. Over the following 10 years he went on to build and sell 8 unique and creative properties, often achieving record prices for their time.

In 2015 Alex founded Private Clients as a new venture to bring his extensive experience of the Prime Central London market to clients looking to capitalise on this unique expertise. His network of agents, contractors, designers and architects made during his career are the backbone of our company’s ability to source the best projects and turn them into the most exciting properties. A rare combination of skills that means we can offer letting searches, acquisition briefs and full design and build capabilities.
