Sandaire, an international family investment office with a base in Singapore and Delancey, a U.K. focused real estate advisory company, have launched «Mount Kendal» in Asia.

Mount Kendal is a new collaboration between Delancey and Sandaire and will be focused on delivering bespoke U.K. real estate investment advice to Asian investors and international family offices.

Despite or perhaps because of, Brexit, Asian investors are still ploughing a steady investment furrow into the British property market.

Commercial deals with strong yielding offices, retail units and hotels are now as strong on the wish list as the prime residential units so sought after by Hong Kong, Singaporean and Malaysian investors among others. 

The New Offering

Together, the two firms will bring over 45 years of experience to Mount Kendal, which was established to deliver acquisition strategies and innovative asset management initiatives.

They also believe the service is different than anything else in the market place. They claim to be offering a service, not selling a product. 

Ultimately the newly launched vehicle will seek to create and protect value across a myriad of multi-sector, single asset or asset portfolio investments; from office, retail, residential and logistics; to healthcare, education, equity reversions and more.

London to Remain The Leader 

«We think there is an opportunity to serve the needs of significant families who want direct exposure to real estate. The service that we're going to offer is a bespoke response to the requirements of the family offices and investors that we work with,» said Alexander Scott, Founder and Chairman of Sandaire.

While London looks stable and quite compelling on a relative basis, albeit there is a little bit of uncertainty, but is unlikely not to remain the capital city of Western Europe.
