Private sourcing & procurement / £10m+ acquisition mandates
Your acquisition brief.
Personally led.
Property sourcing and acquisition support for family offices and institutional investors with £10m or more to deploy. Work directly with Alastair to define the mandate, assess suitable opportunities and progress the agreed acquisition work.
An acquisition begins with purpose
Decide what belongs
in the portfolio.
A useful acquisition brief makes the investment objective, available capital, holding period and delivery capacity explicit. It also establishes what the mandate should exclude.
We establish those requirements before searching. That gives each opportunity a clear basis for assessment and keeps the discussion focused on suitability, evidence and execution.
Mandates may concern a single acquisition or a programme of purchases. Geography, asset type, budget, exclusions, professional support and the scope of our role are agreed individually.
- Family offices and institutional investors with £10m or more to deploy
- Defined investment criteria and decision authority
- Agreed sourcing, assessment and procurement scope
- Separate written mandate and fee agreement

An opportunity must earn its place
What we examine.

Consider the proposed holding period, income or growth objective, concentration, management burden and practical ability to execute.

Flagship articles / Specialist property strategies
Look beyond the obvious.
Find the strategy within the asset.
These are areas where the purchase price, legal structure and funding basis can produce a different investment outcome. Read the strategy, then see how the finance is assessed.
FINANZE® TITLE SPLIT FINANCE.
A block held on one title may offer a different route to value when the units can be sold or refinanced separately. Examine the legal structure, supported split value and exit before paying for that potential.
FINANZE® LEASE EXTENSION FINANCE.
A short lease can narrow the buyer pool. Assess the route to extension, premium, timescale and supported extended value together, then establish how acquisition and extension would be funded.
FINANZE® COMMERCIAL INVESTMENT BRIDGING.
Look beyond the headline yield. Lease terms, tenant strength, income durability and the chosen valuation basis affect both the acquisition case and the funding available.
BELOW MARKET VALUE FINANCE.
A discount is useful when the evidence supports it. Compare the price with defensible current value, understand why the opportunity exists and test the net funding and eventual exit.
DEFERRED CONSIDERATION.
Could paying part of the price later help the transaction? Examine the seller’s terms, lender acceptance, remaining liability and repayment timing as one proposal.
Which approach fits?
A title split, lease extension or different purchase structure is useful only when it serves your objective. Bring the asset and the question; we can establish what deserves further work.

What if the finance could
recognise the opportunity?
A conventional funding approach may overlook the supported value in a title split, lease extension or genuinely discounted purchase. Understanding the lending basis early can change which opportunities are worth pursuing.
Finanze Capital can consider up to 100% net loan to purchase price on suitable transactions. Net LTPP means the amount available towards the purchase after relevant deductions, divided by the purchase price. It is not a promise to fund every purchase or the full project cost.
The result depends on the accepted value, product limits, interest and fees, underwriting, legal structure and exit. Tax, professional costs, works and reserves may still require your capital. We establish the actual cash requirement alongside the funding opportunity.
Working relationship
Discretion.
Direct access
A defined mandate.
Alastair leads the mandate personally. We agree how opportunities are presented, who can authorise expenditure and negotiations, and which decisions remain with your investment committee or principals. Any related Finanze funding route is identified and assessed separately; your choice of lender and professional advisers remains yours.
Is this an open deal-list service?
No. This service is organised around a selectively accepted family office mandate. Opportunities are considered against the agreed investment brief.
Does Deal Analysis include property sourcing?
No. Deal Analysis assesses an opportunity the investor has identified. Sourcing and procurement involve a separate scope and fee agreement.
Can funding be considered alongside the search?
Yes. Capital requirements and finance strategy can form part of the mandate. Any brokerage or lending engagement is separately agreed and assessed.
Do you undertake legal, tax or formal valuation work?
Those roles remain with the appropriately appointed professionals. We can coordinate the commercial questions and dependencies within the agreed mandate.
Frameworks within the mandate
Commercial attention
Investment discipline.
STRELM informs where origination and relationship effort belong. The Finanze Framework gives each shortlisted asset a consistent set of investment questions.
Selection considers strategic fit, asset evidence, value creation, ownership, finance, execution, exit and protection. The assessment separates an attractive proposition from the evidence needed to approve it.
