Track Capital alternatives for property investors
Track Capital is an investment brokerage: it presents developer stock, UK and overseas, to investors and is paid by the developer. That is a legitimate model and it is free at the point of use. What you do not get from it is a buyer's agent whose only duty is to you. Here is where each approach wins.
Where Track Capital is the better choice
- Investors who want curated developer stock with no fee paid by them
- Buyers exploring overseas as well as UK opportunities
- First-time investors who want an introduction to the market
Where buyers tend to feel the gap
- Commission comes from the developer, so the shortlist is limited to paying partners
- Second-hand and off-market stock is out of scope
- Independent underwriting of the developer's numbers is on you

How we would handle your mandate
Track Capital alternatives: common questions
Is Pearl Lemon Properties cheaper than Track Capital?
Not always, and we would not pitch it that way. Track Capital prices agency work off a percentage of value with a large support structure behind it. We price off the mandate — a fixed sourcing fee or a success fee tied to the acquisition — so on a single asset we are usually cheaper, and on a large portfolio the difference narrows. Ask us for the fee basis before you compare numbers.
Can we use both Track Capital and Pearl Lemon Properties?
Yes, and plenty of our clients do. A common split is Track Capital on formal valuation, agency and marketed stock, with us running the off-market search, underwriting and negotiation. We are comfortable working alongside an incumbent adviser as long as the mandate boundaries are written down.
What size of deal do you work on?
Single assets from around £250k through to portfolios and forward-funded schemes in the tens of millions. Below that range a local agent will usually serve you better, and we will say so on the call.
