Make every asset earn its place.

1. 01

   Portfolio clean-up study

   A baseline review of every asset: income, occupancy, service charges, capital tied up and forward return on a five-year hold. Each asset is ranked against the others and against what the same capital could earn elsewhere.

2. 02

   Hold, dispose or reposition

   A call on every asset with the number that decides it. Dispose the assets that no longer earn their place, reposition the ones that can be fixed, and hold the ones that work.

3. 03

   External risk watch

   We track what will change an asset's value before the market prices it in: road and bridge works, new metro lines, master-plan changes, handovers nearby and regulation. Each risk is flagged with the year it lands.

4. 04

   Opportunity screening

   Acquisitions are screened with the same evidence and model as a Project Viability Review, so disposal proceeds go into assets with better fundamentals, not just the next listing.

5. 05

   Quarterly rental reviews

   Every quarter, a guidance rent band for each building and unit type from registered tenancy evidence and live listings. Your leasing agent leases within the band and flags any deal outside it.

6. 06

   Quarterly portfolio report

   Rent roll, occupancy, achieved rents against guidance, renewals due, and what moved in the market. A short written view for the family or the investment committee.

1. Week 0

   Scope and fee agreed in writing

   We review the asset list and the data you hold, then confirm scope, cadence and fee by email before any work starts.

2. Weeks 1–3

   Baseline study

   Every asset modelled on current income, costs and evidence, with forward returns and external risks flagged.

3. Week 4

   Recommendations

   Hold, dispose or reposition calls on each asset, with the number and the risk behind each, and a shortlist of what to buy.

4. Every quarter

   Rent guidance and report

   Guidance rent bands issued to you and your leasing agent before the quarter starts, then achieved rents reviewed against them.

5. Ongoing

   Opportunity screens

   New acquisitions screened as they come up, on the same basis as the rest of the portfolio.

Case study

Dubai · Family office

Quarterly rent guidance for a residential portfolio

A Dubai family office's apartments and townhouses were let by the last deal or by feel. We now set a guidance rent band for every building and unit type each quarter, from registered tenancy evidence and live listings. The leasing agent leases within those bands and flags any offer outside them, and achieved rents are reviewed against the guidance at quarter end.

Case study

Sheikh Zayed Road

Disposing of a roadside plot before the bridge

A plot on Sheikh Zayed Road was held for its frontage and visibility. Our review of the published road-improvement plans showed a new bridge would block the plot's line of sight from the road. We advised disposal two years before the bridge was built, while the plot still traded on full visibility, and the proceeds were redirected into assets with stronger fundamentals.

Worked example

Dubai Investments Park

Rotating retail capital into logistics

A portfolio with a half-empty retail podium and no industrial exposure. We tested repositioning the retail against selling it, then screened logistics units across Dubai Investments Park and Jebel Ali on the same model, to recycle the capital into stronger income.
