Clive Hopkins is a senior real estate adviser and industry leader with more than 35 years of experience advising international clients on residential, rural and leisure property. His career has been defined by a consistent focus on high-value assets, cross-border acquisitions and the needs of globally mobile families seeking long-term stability, lifestyle quality and strategic property investment.
Clive spent nearly three decades at Knight Frank, one of the world’s leading independent property consultancies, where he held senior leadership roles including Head of The International Residential Division and Head of the Farms & Estates team. Over this time, he advised royalty, international investors, UHNW families and private offices on some of the most significant residential and estate transactions in the market. His work spanned Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America, giving him deep insight into global property markets, buying behaviours and the nuances of cross-jurisdictional transactions.
His experience covers prime residential property, landed estates, sporting properties, equestrian and agricultural holdings, and high-end leisure assets. Clive has built long-standing relationships with clients, advisers and family offices, gaining a reputation for discretion, sound judgement and a practical understanding of the complexities that shape property decisions for wealthy families.
Following his career at Knight Frank, Clive has continued to advise global clients independently, focusing on strategic property search, real estate planning, due diligence and the acquisition of distinctive or complex assets. His counsel often extends beyond individual transactions to include long-term property strategy, estate management considerations and the alignment of real estate with the client’s lifestyle, investment objectives and generational needs.
As Head of Real Estate at Charles Park Family Office, Clive supports families in navigating both domestic and international markets with clarity and confidence. His advisory work helps families identify opportunities, avoid common pitfalls and build property strategies that complement their broader plans for wealth, legacy and continuity.
Clive lives in the UK and continues to be closely connected to rural, sporting and country house communities. He maintains a global network of trusted intermediaries, specialists and advisers that supports clients throughout the lifecycle of their property ambitions.
