For immediate release                                             30 April 2001


                                AGM STATEMENT




At today's Annual General Meeting of Savills plc, the international property
adviser, Chairman, Richard Jewson said:


'Since the announcement of results made at the beginning of March, the Group
has continued to perform in line with our expectations albeit in more
difficult market conditions.


'The recent uncertainty in world stock markets has led to some caution
particularly in the UK commercial sector and in Asia Pacific where the level
of transactions has slowed. However, the UK residential market remains active
and our mainland European commercial business continues to thrive. Our
property and facilities management businesses, including the Trammell Crow
Savills joint venture, continue to grow in Europe and Asia Pacific.


'We remain optimistic about prospects for the remainder of the year but expect
trading conditions to be challenging.'
