Mandate-Scale Advisory
Independent advisory for institutional and international capital
We review the decision, not the deal. No transaction fee, no panel, no introducer commission — a written position on whether the capital should move, before it does.
Paid for the analysis
Not for the transaction. A recommendation to decline costs us nothing, which is what makes it worth having.
Built for cross-border capital
UK entry tax, ownership structure and reporting reviewed alongside your home-jurisdiction treatment.
Written, defensible positions
Every engagement ends with a document an investment committee can interrogate, with sources attached.

Investment Agency or Independent Property Advisor?
Buyer deciding which kind of property adviser the decision actually requires.
Who this is for
- Mandates from £50m, single asset or portfolio.
- Funds, family offices, sovereign and corporate capital acquiring UK real estate.
- International buyers who need the UK decision to work in two tax jurisdictions.
- Investment committees that need an independent second reading before approval.
- Anyone who has been introduced to an asset by the party being paid on completion.
Below £50m? Our private investor advisory services and decision library cover the same discipline at portfolio scale.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum mandate size?
Institutional engagements start at £50m. Private-investor decisions below that threshold are handled through our advisory services track.
Are you an agent, broker or introducer?
No. We take no transaction fee, no lender commission and no introducer payment. We are paid for the analysis, which is why a recommendation to decline costs us nothing.
Do you work with capital based outside the UK?
Yes. A substantial part of the institutional practice is international capital acquiring UK assets, where the decision has to work in two tax jurisdictions at once.
What do you deliver?
A written position: proceed, proceed at a revised price, or decline — with the assumptions that must hold and the conditions under which the case fails. It is written to be defended to an investment committee.
