Property advisory for family offices and private capital
Most firms offering property to family offices are selling their own stock. We are not. We work on a written mandate, take no commission from any vendor, and are measured on the net return of what we buy and how well it is reported afterwards.
A family office property mandate is a written brief — asset classes, regions, lot size, target net return, leverage and hold horizon — executed by an independent adviser paid by the family, not by the vendor. The adviser sources, underwrites, negotiates and reports; discretion is maintained under NDA and no deal is introduced by a third party taking a hidden fee.
Who pays the adviser
If the vendor pays, it is distribution, not advice.
Written mandate
Return target, asset mix and lot size documented before searching.
Discretion
NDA as standard; no named case studies without written consent.
Reporting
Consolidated net-return, debt and compliance reporting across the portfolio.

Family office and private capital property advisory: common questions
How are family office property advisers paid?
Either a retainer, a fixed advisory fee, a completion fee, or a combination — agreed in writing before any search begins. Our fee basis is set per mandate and quoted on application, because scope varies enormously between a single prime acquisition and a multi-asset programme.
Do you take commission from developers or vendors?
No. Taking a vendor fee while advising the buyer is the conflict that makes most property 'advice' unreliable. We are paid only by the client we act for.
Will our involvement stay confidential?
Yes. Mandates run under NDA, approaches to vendors are made without naming the ultimate buyer where required, and we publish no case study identifying a client without written consent.

Asset type, lot size and timeline is enough to start. We will say on the first call whether we are the right fit — including when we are not.
