Sourcing and acquisition
Off-market search, viewings that are worth your flight, technical and legal due diligence, and the negotiation. We buy less often than we are asked to, which is the job.
Mesal Assets · London
Private wealth management, worldwide
Property is usually the largest thing a family owns, and the one that gets looked after the least. We take it on as what it is: an asset with a purchase, a structure, a yield and a day it changes hands.
What we do
One desk for the whole life of the asset
Sourcing and negotiation, the structure it is held in, the tenancy, the works, the numbers you get every quarter. Not a broker who disappears at the notary, but the same desk, still there years later.
Ownership structure
How the asset is held: directly, through a company, resident or not. We work alongside your tax adviser and your notary, and if you do not have one here, we bring ours.
Letting and day-to-day
Tenants, contracts, deposits, rent collection, insurance, bills, the plumber at eight in the morning in August. The part that decides whether the yield on paper is the yield in the bank.
Where the assets are
The work does not stop at the border
A family's property rarely sits in one country. What changes from one to the next is the paperwork, the tax and the person you need on the ground. What does not change is who answers for the asset.
Where the firm sits
London
The company is English, the reporting is in English and the structures are the ones a British family already understands. Most mandates start here, whatever country the building is in.
Spain, beyond the coast
Madrid
Letting a flat in the middle of a working city behaves nothing like a holiday let: different tenants, no season to speak of, and a purchase tax that changes with the region.
Italy, with the paperwork done properly
Milan
Cadastral records, the minutes of the building's meetings, the state of its reserve fund. In Italy the money is won or lost in the due diligence, long before the notary.
New build, and the questions that come first
Dubai
Off plan sells quickly and completes slowly. The work is reading the developer, the payment schedule and the service charge before the brochure gets a chance to talk.
Water, and what it costs to be near it
Miami
Insurance, the association, the sea wall and the flood map set the running cost of a waterfront house as firmly as the price does. We price the holding, not just the purchase.
London, Ibiza, and wherever the assets are
A broad portfolio on the island, listed and off market, and mandates in the United Kingdom, Italy and mainland Spain. Tell us the mandate and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth doing.
