La Scala still employs a ‘claque’, a man who comes to your dressing room and asks, ‘Is everything all right, sir?’ Send him away without a tip at your peril, because it’s he who is paid to sway the audience’s response.

PIRI now tracks the performance of the 100 luxury property markets of most interest to our clients. The locations covered range from chic European cities to Asia’s most exciting urban melting pots, and from scintillating Alpine ski resorts to sizzling Caribbean beach hotspots, with many more in between. In some of the more established markets we feature, such as London, Knight Frank can draw on its tried-and-tested property indices to benchmark performance. However, in locations that have more recently piqued the interest of the international house-hunter, the process is more complex. It involves trawling through government statistics – if they exist – or constructing new indices from scratch. Sometimes, like producing wine, it can take time before we feel the numbers for a location are robust enough to release. The index is a labour of love for the international team that pulls it together each year, led by my colleague Kate Everett-Allen. Over the next few pages, you can read Kate’s analysis of the results. Whenever I’m editing The Wealth Report, there are some findings that jump off the page. The locations at the top and bottom of the PIRI are, of course, always eye-catching.
