Significant events
- “In 2024, the UK market recovered as business confidence rose, despite a snap general election. We achieved our busiest year ever for deal completions, selling over 1,150 business properties.”
- “Our valuation and consultancy teams handled pan-European assignments, including major pub companies and international hotels.”
- “Under our international subsidiaries, we launched a healthcare team in France, expanding on our UK presence and recent entry into Germany. Further European expansion is planned for 2025.”
- “Transactional volumes in 2024 increased by 41% against 2023, exceeding pre pandemic levels and a record number of completions for Christie & Co with 1,155 completions.”
- “Valuation activity was subdued on the back of interest rates remaining stubbornly high and a lack of portfolio refinancing activity in the market. We managed to increase our average valuation fee by 6.4%.”
- “We grew our headcount and finished 2024 with a team of 244 colleagues in the UK.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
