Build-to-Rent Acquisition \| Manchester GCC Sovereign Fund Deploys Into Northern BTR Portfolio A Gulf-based sovereign wealth fund with a sterling income mandate required off-market access to institutional-grade BTR stock in Manchester city centre. Pearl Lemon Properties sourced a 147-unit forward-funded scheme, structured the acquisition through a UK SPV, coordinated SDLT non-resident surcharge mitigation with specialist tax counsel, and completed due diligence within a 14-week timeline. Transaction Size £38.4M Projected Net Yield 5.1% Asset Class Build-to-Rent Hold Period 12 years PBSA Acquisition \| Leeds and Edinburgh European State Pension Vehicle Enters UK Student Accommodation A Northern European state pension manager sought diversification into purpose-built student accommodation as a yield-stable, counter-cyclical allocation. We identified two off-market PBSA assets across Leeds and Edinburgh, produced yield and occupancy analysis against comparable nominated stock, advised on SDLT corporate purchasing surcharge and Register of Overseas Entities registration, and managed completion to a dual simultaneous exchange. Combined Value £54.7M Average Occupancy 97.4% Asset Class PBSA Locations Leeds / Edinburgh Mixed-Use Forward Funding \| London Asian Sovereign Fund Enters PCL Mixed-Use Through Forward Funding An Asian government investment vehicle required prime London exposure through a forward-funding arrangement to avoid competitive bidding on standing stock.
