Real estate process

In our search for outstanding properties, we combine our assessment of individual real estate holdings with our view of the economy as a whole placing considerable emphasis on the analysis of individual properties. Our experienced investment managers undertake this research, with their expertise and knowledge adding significantly to the process.

Following this extensive research we are then in a position to bid for those properties that we think will add value. For every asset held, a business plan is prepared, identifying opportunities, threats, action points and risks. We review each business plan at least annually, with total return forecasts adjusted and updated. This process ensures that we are confident that we hold quality properties that will continue to contribute towards performance.

We also focus on active management to enhance income and capital growth, maximising potential returns. Added value initiatives include new lettings, renewing or extending leases, refurbishment or redevelopment.
