Most structures are never actually designed
A group forms, or an individual sets aside a recurring budget, and a property gets bought. Usually, whoever's available hires a solicitor to close the deal and an accountant to file the paperwork, and the structure it ends up held through is whatever falls out of that, rather than something anyone sat down and designed.
A few years in, that shows. Nobody agreed how decisions get made when a member wants out. Nobody agreed how new members join. The accounting was set up for compliance, not for how this particular group actually operates. None of it is anyone's fault. It's just what happens when structure is an afterthought instead of a starting point.
- Governance: decision rules agreed before anyone needs them, not improvised under pressure
- SPV structure: designed around how your group actually wants to operate, not a generic template
- Record-keeping: set up as a system a technical partner can run cleanly from day one
- Entry and exit: how new members join and existing ones leave, agreed upfront
We design the structure, then step back
We get involved at the point that actually matters: before you, or your group, commit to a structure. We help design the governance, the SPV and the record-keeping approach around what you're genuinely trying to achieve, whether that's one person or a pooled group, not a generic template handed to every buyer.
Then we introduce you to the technical partners who run it: an accounting partner for the SPV, governance and ongoing record-keeping, an estate agent for sourcing and completion. From there, it's their relationship to run. We're not trying to be your long-term manager. We're trying to make sure the structure doesn't need one.
