Alex Thornbury is a property analyst and writer on European luxury property. He has spent fifteen years advising international families on cross-border property decisions in Spain, Andorra, Monaco and the wider Mediterranean.

His work sits at the intersection of valuation, transaction structuring and residency planning. The brief he gets from clients is rarely 'find me a villa'. It is usually 'model the ten-year cost of ownership across three jurisdictions, factor in succession exposure, tell me where the lifestyle works for my family, and recommend the hotel where I should base myself for the first two weeks'.

He works independently. He is not affiliated with any property agency, brokerage, or sales platform, and has never been employed by a named global consultancy. He cites Knight Frank, Savills, Spear's and the FT as published data sources only.

He is based in London and spends roughly a third of each year in Palma, Marbella and Andorra la Vella, with regular trips into Monaco.
