Top 5: The best luxury properties agents should know this week

Our top five luxury properties of the week has officially dropped, and as per usual, it’s landing with quite the bang. 

We spotlight a couple of gems close to home, including a gorgeous hotel on Northern Ireland’s coast and a swish all-suite property in central London. If your clients are on the hunt for winter sunshine (who could blame them?), we’ve also listed a heavenly Madagascar resort and a majestic villa on the Turkish Riviera. 

Hopefully, our lineup will give you the inspiration you need to make that special booking.
