Our Private Office service – one of a kind.
Barton Wyatt’s Private Office concierge service started in 1965, designed to fulfil the exacting needs of International royal families, non-doms, sporting celebrities and high net worth individuals who wanted more than “just an estate manager”.
Over nearly six decades, Barton Wyatt has further honed and developed this incredibly discreet and specialised service which offers 24/7 attention to clients
James Wyatt, Partner of Barton Wyatt and Head of Private Office explains
“Our clients include those who own properties all over the World but may only use their Surrey or Berkshire homes for some of the year, whilst others may visit at weekends. Some live here all the time but want to enjoy their own time to the maximum. We sit in the background of these luxurious lifestyles ensuring that homes and households continue to operate seamlessly whilst the client is here or away.”
The Barton Wyatt Private Office offers a fully bespoke and customised service for clients although typical services include:
- Recruiting and managing household staff, ensuring they are fulfilling their role both within the house and the grounds.
- Handling the utilities, ensuring best value and arranging maintenance of household equipment – this could be anything from boilers, heat pumps, air conditioning, swimming pools to whirlpools, kitchen and / or gym equipment, Wi-Fi, automated control systems, electronic gates and even internal lifts for both people and cars. Everything is maintained to perfection.
- Undertaking basic “running of the house” errands from the dry cleaning through to servicing the cars, cleaning windows, chimneys, driveways and more.
- Finding fair value insurances.
- Arranging private transportation from limousine airport pick-ups through to private jets for national and international travel.
- Organising social gatherings from lavish children’s birthday parties through to gastronomic luncheons for 100 guests plus.
- Assisting with finding suitable schools for off-spring – from pre-school to seniors, traditional English schooling and international schools, day or boarding.
- Re-opening the house upon a client’s return might include a deep clean, fresh flowers and filling the multitude of fridges and freezers with food that is often quite specialist and pertains to country and culture.
- Closing the house upon a client’s departure including once again a deep clean, laundering bedrooms, replacing any broken items during their stay and ensuring the house is safe and secure whilst the client is away. Then carrying our regular visits of the property.
Our prices are based on the square footage/square metreage of the property with monthly costs from £1175 (inclusive of VAT).
Unlike many Concierge type services, Barton Wyatt’s Private Office does not ‘load’ cost by adding on a percentage to contractor’s invoices, nor taking any cut from contractors (some insurances excluded). What we pay on your behalf is the true cost, and we constantly look for fair pricing.
The Private Office is available to client’s who live in the vicinity of the Barton Wyatt Wentworth office in Virginia Water, Surrey. Prices are available on request but are generally calculated on the size of each property.
