Real estate M&A advisory
The financing decision

Choose the structure around the operating reality

The first decision is whether value sits in the corporate platform, the operating contracts or the underlying assets; that choice shapes valuation, buyer universe and diligence.

We begin with the commercial objective, the amount and timing of capital, the evidence available and the authority to run the transaction. The resulting route can then be tested against realistic investor, lender or buyer criteria.

Typical uses of capital

  • Acquisition of developers or operating platforms
  • Sale of property businesses or portfolios
  • Joint-venture partner entry or exit
  • Portfolio carve-out and recapitalisation

Structuring routes

Structures to evaluate

The route is selected after reviewing cash flows, control, security, dilution, timing and counterparty appetite.

Corporate share transaction

For acquiring or selling the operating company, contracts, team and liabilities.

Asset or portfolio transaction

For a defined property perimeter without transferring the full corporate platform.

Structured JV or recapitalisation

For partial liquidity, new growth capital and shared future control.

Execution

How the mandate progresses

  1. Define transaction perimeter and commercial objective
  2. Build asset, earnings and pipeline valuation views
  3. Prepare buyer or target materials
  4. Run controlled outreach and indications
  5. Coordinate diligence, financing, negotiation and closing

The sequence is adapted to transaction readiness, confidentiality and the selected capital route.
