Residential Apartment Blocks

We don’t just transact apartment blocks — we enhance them

For investors and owners of residential blocks, we operate a proven blueprint designed to increase post-acquisition value by up to 30%.

The Residential SPV Blueprint: how we target up to 30% uplift

Traditional block sales are sold as one asset at one price. We unlock hidden value by restructuring the legal ownership while retaining the freehold for control.

  1. Freehold Retention

    The original company retains the freehold interest. Following the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, no new ground rents are created. Retention provides estate management control and long-term reversionary value.

  2. Lease Creation

    We create a new, clean 999-year long lease interest for each apartment — institutionally drafted and mortgageable.

  3. SPV Transfer

    Each 999-year lease is transferred into its own dedicated SPV limited company.

  4. Value Creation

    The block transforms from a single title into a portfolio of individually saleable SPV assets, targeting uplift of up to 30% against a single en-bloc valuation.

  5. Strategic Flexibility

    The client retains full flexibility — hold all SPVs long term, sell apartments individually via share sale of the SPV when optimal, or mortgage them individually or collectively for capital release. There is no obligation to sell.

Disclaimer: Up to 30% uplift is indicative, based on historical projects and market conditions, and is not guaranteed. No ground rent income is included.

Case study: freehold residential apartment block, 21 units

  • Freehold value as one block: £30m — an average of £1.428m per unit.
  • After applying the blueprint: 21 apartments, each with a 999-year long lease interest.
  • 20 x standard apartments @ £1,625,000 = £32,500,000
  • 1 x penthouse (6th floor) @ £6,500,000 = £6,500,000
  • Total SPV sales: £39,000,000 — a 30% uplift in value.
  • Freehold retained: £0 income (peppercorn) plus reversion only.

Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA)

One of the most resilient and in-demand asset classes in the UK

We source and advise on prime PBSA opportunities in Russell Group and key university cities across the UK, with growing access to European student hubs. Our sourcing extends to both operational and development opportunities.

With strong university partnerships and investor demand, we position PBSA assets for long-term, stable returns.

Development Land with Planning Consent

Prime land with planning is the foundation of tomorrow’s landmark projects

We source and market prime development land with planning consent across major UK cities and key European locations. We work with developers, funds and landowners to:

GDV criteria

We assess development land based on its Gross Development Value (GDV) — the projected open market value of the completed scheme. Typical GDV range: £10m – £500m+.

From residential schemes to mixed-use and hospitality, we connect the right land with the right capital.
