Private Equity

We work with joint venture partners and co-investors to acquire large-scale property development projects and asset-backed operating companies — particularly those carrying inherent value that is not currently being exploited.

What we are looking for

Responsible management, tailored to the asset.

The property management consultancy team at Fraser Bond delivers a highly professional and tailored commercial property management service, focussed on responsible property management. Our clients include developers, investors and occupiers in the public and private sectors — served from each of our UK regional and London offices.

Situations we are comfortable with

Complexity is often where the value sits.

We will consider the acquisition of property-backed operating companies with complex ownership situations, or those requiring financial or corporate restructuring. Fragmented shareholdings, intercompany debt, a business trading below its potential in buildings worth more than the accounts suggest — these are the situations most buyers step around, and they are often the reason an asset is available at a price that makes sense.

How we would seek to add value.

Rarely one lever. Most situations need two or three applied in sequence, and the order matters more than any single move.

How we work

Alongside partners, not instead of them.

We work actively with a range of joint venture partners and co-investors. That means an opportunity does not have to fit one balance sheet to be worth discussing, and a vendor is dealing with people who have done this before rather than with a process.

Common questions

Questions we are usually asked.

What kinds of opportunity do you look at?

Large-scale property development projects and asset-backed operating companies, particularly where there is inherent value that is not currently being exploited and the potential for significant future growth.

Will you consider complex or distressed situations?

Yes. We will consider property-backed operating companies with complex ownership situations, or those requiring financial or corporate restructuring. Those situations are often why an opportunity is available.

What do you mean by adding value?

Operational improvement, active management, re-development, sale and leaseback, and re-tenanting. Usually two or three of these in sequence rather than any one on its own.

Do you invest alone?

We work actively with a range of joint venture partners and co-investors, so an opportunity does not have to fit a single balance sheet to be worth discussing.

What should I send?

An outline is enough to begin: the asset or company, the tenure and income, the situation, and what you believe the opportunity is. We will come back quickly on whether we would pursue it.

Is an approach treated confidentially?

Yes. Approaches are reviewed by a principal and are not circulated. If we are not the right party we will say so rather than pass it on.

Send it in confidence.

An outline is enough to begin. We will tell you quickly and honestly whether it is something we would pursue.
