Bespoke property advisory for private capital.
We act for family offices, institutional funds, developers and private clients. Most of what passes through us never reaches the open market. Live opportunities sit on the Ventura Network.
- Discreet
- Vendors and buyers are never named without instruction.
- Off-market
- Sourced through private relationships, not portals.
The Ventura Network
One network.
Live opportunities, the appraisal tools, the funding and the deal room sit on our platform. Registration takes a few minutes and is reviewed individually.
Source
Off-market instructions
Opportunities from vendors and approved brokers, matched against your stated criteria rather than broadcast to a list.
Analyse
57 calculators
Commercial valuation, development appraisal, bridging, portfolio and leasehold, with market intelligence by sector and region alongside.
Fund
Lender matching
One funding request, matched against lenders on real criteria: loan size, asset type, LTV and region. Compare offers and model the capital stack.
Complete
Secure deal rooms
Due diligence tracking, document generation and offer history, alongside a professional network of solicitors, surveyors and planners.
Acquisition appraisals
Know what you're buying.
A purchase price tells you what the vendor wants. It does not tell you what you are buying. Ventura examines the asset behind the asking price, wherever you found it.
- Investment
- Price, comparable evidence, income, yield and the case for and against
- Financial
- Accounts, trading history, rent rolls, margins and normalised earnings
- Documents
- The vendor's pack, reviewed, with the gaps that need chasing
- Condition
- Inspection where instructed, with repairs and defects recorded
- CAPEX
- Indicative cost allowances from quantity surveying experience, with the basis stated
- Verdict
- Buy, buy subject to conditions, renegotiate, investigate further, or walk away
Engagements
What we take on.
Acquisition
Buying side
You give us a written brief: sector, value range, geography, target return, timeline. We work the private network and come back with stock that is not competing in an open bidding process. Search, appraisal, negotiation and completion management sit inside the engagement.
Disposal
Discreet sale
For vendors who need a sale handled without a board outside or a portal listing. A short, qualified circulation list, controlled information release, and no public marketing at any stage unless you instruct it. Discretion here is not a courtesy. It protects price.
Appraisal
Acquisition appraisals
Independent review of a purchase you are considering, wherever it came from: price, income, documents, condition and likely capital expenditure, with a clear recommendation at the end. Explore acquisition appraisals →
Development
Scheme advisory
Site assembly, planning strategy and appraisal of the finished asset before acquisition. We help structure what you pay for the land against what the completed scheme is realistically worth, then stay involved through delivery.
Operational
Hotels and care
Trading assets need a different lens to bricks. We appraise on EBITDA and covenant as well as vacant possession value, introduce operators where an asset needs one, and run going concern sales without unsettling staff or residents.
Income
FRI and asset management
Full repairing and insuring investments bought for the covenant and the term, not the yield headline. Once held, we handle rent reviews, lease regears and reversion strategy so the income is still there at the end of the term.
Process
From brief to completion.
Introduction
A private conversation, under NDA where appropriate. We establish what you are trying to achieve and whether we are the right people to act. Not every enquiry becomes an instruction.
Terms in writing
Scope, geography, value range, target returns and fee basis, agreed in writing before any search begins. You know exactly what we are looking for and what it costs.
Sourcing and appraisal
We work the network and bring you a shortlist with the analysis already done: title, planning, tenancy, cost and exit. Reasons to walk away are presented as clearly as reasons to proceed.
Negotiation and completion
We negotiate on your side of the table and coordinate solicitors, surveyors and lenders through to exchange. One point of contact from first viewing to keys.
About
Small by design.
Six sectors, a limited number of live transactions at any one time, and the person you meet at the first conversation is the person who negotiates your deal.
Most property businesses are built to scale: more listings, more desks, more volume. Ventura is built the other way round.
That constraint is deliberate. Off-market work depends entirely on relationships with vendors, with solicitors, and with other advisors who will pick up the phone before a property is ever marketed. Those relationships do not survive being handed down a call sheet, and they do not survive a firm that leaks.
The practical consequence is that we will sometimes decline work. If a brief sits outside what we can genuinely source, or if taking it would put us on both sides of a transaction, we say so at the first meeting and, where we can, point you to someone better placed.
