Portfolios

Accrue has established itself as something of a specialist in the acquisition and optimisation of mixed-use portfolios (retail, offices, industrial and residential) comprising properties with individual lot sizes of £2-£50 million.

We are able to analyse large portfolios of assets in a timely and efficient manner and are able to acquire within tight timescales. We have experience of SPV acquisitions, often with complicated financing structures and legacy tax issues, as well as straight forward property purchases.

We have a proven record of accomplishment in optimising value by engaging with our tenants and adopting a very hands-on approach. Our in-house team of property managers enables us to quickly integrate large portfolio acquisitions, and this ensures we can implement our business plans at the earliest opportunity.

Corporate Acquisitions

We have experience of corporate acquisitions as well as straight forward property purchases. Typically, private property companies can be wrapped up in complicated ownership and tax structures, which would put off many investors. We have considerable experience dealing with cross-border transactions across a broad range of jurisdictions.

With our combined experience across real estate, financing, legal and tax structuring, we can create deliverable transactions, offering solutions for vendors and significant opportunity for our investors.

Single Assets

Accrue and its partners invest in substantial standalone investments centers established via both on and off market transactions. These vary from prime flagship properties to Core+ and more opportunistic properties.

Accrue seeks to add value via a combination of lease restructuring, change of use, repositioning, refurbishment, and wholesale redevelopment where required. Accrue has experience of orchestrating investments from origination through to exit and works closely with a trusted team of legal and tax professionals where required. Accrue operates discretely, maintaining partner and transaction confidentiality as required.

Structured Finance

Accrue structures investment and development finance and lends on first charged stretched senior basis, or as a second charge lender in conjunction with a senior lender, typically up to 80% loan to value. We deliver bespoke competitive loan facilities ranging from £1m up to £10m.

Based on our collective experience in investment and development finance, having arranged/structured in excess of £1.5bn of loans, we understand the complexities faced in a challenging funding market. We have the necessary skills to provide a funding solution specific to each individual transaction.

Development

Accrue has specific expertise in the development and refurbishment of assets across a range of sectors. Its projects have ranged from entirely new properties to substantial redevelopment of existing buildings.

Ladybarn House, Manchester:

Accrue Capital, in a joint venture with Development Securities (now U+I), purchased Ladybarn House, Fallowfield having identified an opportunity to refurbish and reposition the property as purpose-built student accommodation. Accrue undertook the extensive development of the whole building on a phased basis to allow for continued occupation. The property was sold in 2015 to Empiric PLC following 3 years of 100% occupancy.

Mount Ephraim Road, Tunbridge Wells:

Accrue Capital, in joint venture with a UK pension fund, designed, developed, and managed the full refurbishment and re-letting of the property. The project was complete on time and within budget.
