It starts with a conversation, not a listing
The first step is a confidential consultation, and we listen before we recommend anything. What are you actually trying to achieve — yield, residency, a base abroad, diversification, a home? What is your budget, your horizon, your appetite for risk and for involvement? Sometimes that conversation ends with us saying the timing or the market isn’t right for you yet. That’s a legitimate outcome — and a free one.
We settle the brief, and the structure, before anyone is introduced
Before you are put in front of a single developer, we settle the things that protect you: your objective in writing, the ownership structure that fits your tax position, and the logic of where and how you buy. You stay anonymous to developers until you choose to register — which keeps you in control of the process and its timing, rather than them.
We model the numbers — net, with the workings shown
We build the financial picture properly: net yield after every real cost, scenario and sensitivity analysis, and — where it helps — a comparison against the alternatives, including other markets or another asset class entirely. You see the assumptions, marked by how solid each one is: what’s confirmed, what’s our own estimate, and what’s still awaiting a third party. No black boxes, and no number you can’t interrogate.
We do the diligence the brochure won’t
Developer claims are checked against independent data. We examine the scheme, the developer’s track record, the title position and the resale comparables — the things that decide whether a deal is genuinely sound or merely well-marketed. Where specialist input is needed — legal, tax, mortgage, structuring — we bring in the right people and keep it all moving to a timeline.
We introduce you on your terms
When you are ready, and only then, we register your interest and make the introduction — with your structure already in place and the key terms confirmed in writing. The negotiation then happens with your position organised and protected, not improvised across the table.
We stay past completion
The relationship doesn’t end at the keys. Letting, management, tax reporting, the next acquisition, and eventually the exit — these are where a property either performs or quietly disappoints, and where an advisor who already knows your situation earns their keep. We’re built for the long relationship, not the single deal — which is, in the end, the whole point of being an advisory rather than an agency.
