Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) remain a powerful strategy for accelerating growth, entering new markets, consolidating industries, and unlocking operational synergies. The UK M&A landscape, backed by a stable legal system, global capital access, and deep sector expertise, continues to attract international buyers and strategic investors.
Whether you're acquiring a UK company, divesting a business unit, or pursuing joint ventures, working with experienced UK merger and acquisition consultants is essential. These specialists guide deal origination, valuation, negotiation, due diligence, and integration. At Fraser Bond, we complement this process by providing real estate strategy, property due diligence, and post-merger location planning that supports smooth and compliant transitions.
M&A consultants in the UK offer end-to-end transaction advisory services that typically include:
Scouting potential acquisitions or buyers through market research, network access, and confidential outreach.
Conducting financial modelling, market comparison, and synergy assessments to determine deal value and strategic rationale.
Overseeing legal, financial, operational, and ESG due diligence to uncover liabilities and integration risks.
Advising on deal terms, financing, earn-outs, regulatory structuring, and shareholder arrangements.
Coordinating cultural alignment, restructuring, real estate optimisation, and reporting integration.
The UK encourages inward investment, with minimal restrictions on foreign ownership and access to European, US, and Commonwealth markets.
English law is a trusted foundation for cross-border M&A transactions, supported by the Takeover Code, Companies Act, and FCA oversight.
M&A activity is robust across real estate, technology, life sciences, logistics, consumer goods, and financial services.
UK holding companies, non-dom regimes, and double-taxation treaties make the UK a compelling base for acquisition platforms.
Fraser Bond supports the M&A process by aligning real estate, infrastructure, and location strategy with the deal's commercial objectives. Our services include:
We review lease agreements, site ownership, planning status, EPC compliance, and liabilities as part of wider M&A due diligence.
Post-deal, we help consolidate or restructure property portfolios—through lease exits, subletting, or relocation strategies.
For acquiring firms entering the UK, Fraser Bond sources HQ locations, office hubs, or logistics infrastructure that align with business plans.
We ensure that acquired properties align with UK ESG standards, EPC regulations, and sector-specific planning requirements.
We act with discretion in sensitive acquisition or divestment scenarios, ensuring client confidentiality and alignment with legal advisors.
Fraser Bond supported a US-based services firm acquiring a mid-sized UK competitor by:
Conducting property and leasehold due diligence across six regional offices
Re-negotiating two lease exits post-completion to reduce occupancy cost
Securing a new central London HQ aligned with brand, talent strategy, and sustainability targets
Partnering with ESG consultants to prepare the post-merger property portfolio for regulatory review
The acquirer realised 15% annual property cost savings and a fully compliant UK footprint within nine months.
Mergers and acquisitions in the UK present strategic value—but only when executed with precision, compliance, and post-deal alignment. M&A consultants provide transactional expertise, but success also depends on real estate integration, planning, and location intelligence.
Fraser Bond supports this journey by delivering M&A-aligned property strategy—ensuring your acquisitions, divestments, and integrations are backed by compliant, cost-efficient, and growth-ready infrastructure.
