Seagram Properties' access to off-market deals and our ability to source funding presents a complete investment package for our clients. We don't just make deals, we create them: Often securing tenants for a building before a deal exchanges, thereby presenting a complete investment package.

Whilst we have the experience, global relationships and local contacts to secure investment properties at the best price, it is ‘thinking out-of–the-box' that makes our award-winning investment advice so highly regarded.

Naturally, all investment transactions are tailored to suit individual requirements of size, risk profile, location and return expectations.

Institutional investors

We have experience buying and selling core assets for institutional funds and investment vehicles. For property dispositions, Seagram offers unrivalled global reach and deep relationships with some of the Industry's most savvy investors. We have worked with high-profile brand property limited partnerships and PLCs in selling key assets of their portfolios, in identifying profitable risk/reward situations and in maximising asset values against future occupational flexibility through sale and leaseback.

From small retail properties to million square feet trophy assets, the boutique nature of our business ensures discretion, speed and highly-targeted marketing. The properties we handle are usually sold before reaching the public domain. Meticulous care is taken in pre-qualifying prospective purchasers to ensure they exchange and complete in a timely and confidential fashion. We also provide our institutional clients with full, up-to-date market data, research and reports that will satisfy the most stringent investment committees.

Case studies:

• In 2009, Seagram helped one of the UK's largest Fund Manager's in quietly marketing some of its key London and South East assets. We procured buyers on six properties, all above valuation, at one of the most challenging times in the market.
• In 2007, we advised a major UK Property PLC on the negotiation, prospective sale and leaseback of an iconic 1,000,000 square feet Bank Headquarters in New York.

Private investors

From seasoned to occasional investors, our track record and tailored service enables us to provide our clients with the necessary tools to build and manage a portfolio that serves their unique investment goals. We make sure you only see relevant properties that meet your investment criteria and only bid on deals we know we can deliver. Our unique group of contacts with Banking and Industry professionals means you will have access to properties before they come to market, or that you would never normally know existed.

We provide full deal analysis and asset performance assessment, risk return ratios and all relevant data as standard.

We source bespoke senior debt and mezzanine funding.

Seagram Properties has a core group of private investors, so when it comes to disposing of assets, you are guaranteed an efficient and timely result.

Case studies:

• In 2008, in a rapidly declining market, Seagram sold a 100-unit gated development in west London for a private investor at 10% above its highest 2007 valuation. We kept the deal alive for 11 months while the developer and purchaser argued over construction delays and brought the deal to successful completion through the negotiation of a complex retention clause that was agreeable to both parties.
• Seagram employed its international reach in selling beachfront land in the Bahamas within two weeks, after a local specialist had been marketing the property for over two years.

Owner occupiers

Acquiring an asset - whether it is an office, shop, hotel, warehouse or distribution facility - is more than just buying a property. It is finding a home for current and future employees; it is selecting a location than provides access to suppliers and customers; it is investing significant capital outside of the company's core business. Acquiring a property in line with a company's business objectives can enhance its competitive advantage.

Seagram offers in-depth, local market knowledge, including financial and analytic modelling, due diligence, valuation and debt solutions. We understand the intricacies of our clients' needs and unique circumstances, guiding them through the complexities of their real estate requirements and planning for the unforeseen.

Whatever your requirements, current or future, please feel free to contact us for a no-obligation discussion.

Case study:

• Seagram designed the optimisation of a storage company’s principal facility by marketing its King’s Cross warehouse as an office development site with a short-term sale and leaseback. We then found a suitable replacement warehouse complex within the M25 with existing income, coterminous with its existing lease term.
