A UK property specialism alongside your own team

If your family runs a single family office in Singapore, it may already handle listed investments, private equity and local real estate with confidence. UK commercial property is a different discipline, with its own leases, tax rules and market practice. We bring that specialism to your existing team, without adding headcount or replacing advisers you trust.

How does Maritime Capital support a Singapore family office?

We take responsibility for the family office’s UK commercial property, from sourcing and due diligence to asset management, accounting and sales. Your team keeps oversight and approves every major decision, and you have one accountable UK partner rather than a scattered set of agents and managers.

Our partners

Do you work with multi-family offices?

Yes. Alongside single family offices, we work across several families as a multi-family office, keeping each family’s holdings, accounts and decisions separate. Many of these relationships have lasted more than one generation, which suits families who think in decades.

How should founders invest the proceeds of a business sale in UK property?

Founders who sell a business often want to keep making investment decisions without running buildings themselves. We find and structure the acquisitions, then handle leases, rent collection, service charges and reporting, so the founder stays involved in strategy and leaves the administration to us.

Track record

What this looks like in practice

A family-run London residential portfolio worth £50m came to us with £30m of RBS loans to restructure and planning issues from development carried out outside its consents. We acted as the link between the family and the bank, agreed an action plan to meet the family’s obligations, and over several months the planning was put right and the debt restructured.

At Old Queen Street in Westminster, we bought an office near St James’s Park for £2.2m and, over four years, invested £4.5m converting it into a luxury residence with conservation architects Donald Insall Associates. It was let to a high-profile musician, described by Savills as “the best house in London to let”, and sold for just under £9m.
