Properties We're Looking For

We focus on substantial existing buildings where there is an opportunity to create high-quality new homes while retaining the character that makes the property distinctive. Properties requiring refurbishment or substantial works are absolutely considered. Our interest is in the underlying building, location and development potential.

Hotels & Guest Houses

We are particularly interested in substantial hotels, former hotels and larger guest houses where the existing building offers genuine potential for residential conversion.

Distinctive Existing Buildings

We also consider substantial period and architecturally distinctive buildings where their scale, layout and location make them suitable for conversion into high-quality residential apartments.

Residential Potential

Our typical acquisitions have the potential to create approximately 6–20 apartments, although we will consider larger or smaller opportunities where the building, location and development potential are right.

Northern England

We acquire properties across Northern England, with a particular interest in established seaside and coastal towns on both the east and west coasts. We will also consider strong opportunities in other well-connected towns and cities across the North.
