Savills PLC
13 April 2000

                            
          Savills acquires business in Belgium

The  Directors of Savills plc ('Savills') are pleased  to
announce  the acquisition of a 64% stake in the  business
of  D  &  T  Property  Consultants  s.p.r.l.  ('QD&T'),  a
Brussels based real estate agent and property adviser.

D&T's business was acquired by FPDSavills' Belgium s.a., a
newly  formed subsidiary of which Savills owns  64%;  the
remainder  of  the  shares are held  by  management.  The
consideration agreed by Savills for the acquisition was a
maximum of £125,000.

Victoria Mitchell, Director of Savills plc, commenting on
the transaction said:

'D&T  (formerly  Profi) has been a member of  FPDSavills'
international network since 1995 and we are delighted  to
further  strengthen this relationship through its  direct
inclusion  within  the  Savills group.   The  transaction
represents  a  further  step  in  Savills'  strategy   of
developing   its  international  presence   outside   its
traditional  UK market.  Belgium is becoming increasingly
important  in  view  of  the proposed  expansion  of  the
European  Union  and  the  size  of  the  Commission   in
Brussels.  Not only is it producing a strong local market
but  there  is a need for us to service our international
corporate  real estate clients in this key city  together
with  the  international property funds wishing  to  take
advantage of the strong commercial investment market.'
