Real Estate
Moorfield believes that the UK real estate market is an appealing platform for investment. The relative size, liquidity, transparency, lease structure and legal framework, together with the expertise and maturity of its professional governing bodies and advisors, are all important features of the attractions of this UK market.
Our success in pursuing opportunities within this market arises from our diversity of knowledge and abilities, thereby allowing the recognition and subsequent capitalisation of all the factors driving the sector, its sub-sectors and its buyers and sellers.
Our Real Estate Opportunities team looks at over £30bn worth of deals a year, which it sources either directly itself or indirectly through a wide network of contacts across the traditional and alternative real estate sectors. Our focus is predominantly on major cities and towns such as London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham, York, Bristol, Reading, Guilford, Kingston, Brighton, Southampton etc.
This team looks predominantly at opportunities that arise in the following sub-sectors:
- Central city offices with a strong rental covenant or potential
- Retail – shopping centres, out of town parks, factory outlets and as part of mixed use schemes
- Industrial property located on major routes and interchanges across the UK
- Leisure property including hotels, restaurants, sports/health clubs and pubs
- Healthcare accommodation including hospitals, polyclinics, GP surgeries, nursing /care /retirement homes
- Student and key worker accommodation
- Residential portfolios
- Alternative asset classes such as airports, ports and data centres
- Development sites for any of the above
Moorfield believes that at each stage of the economic and real estate cycle there is invariably the opportunity to make successful real estate investments, as long as the investor is sufficiently experienced and broad thinking to change focus and be prepared to diversify, whilst retaining flexible financing structures.
