Write down what you buy
Asset type, geography, strategy, budget, funding position, required return, timescale, appetite for works and absolute deal-breakers are recorded and agreed.
Acquisition & origination · nationwide
Finding the small number that survive underwriting is. Divitiae originates and screens residential, commercial, conversion, development and land opportunities valued at £1m and above across the UK.
What reaches you is measured against an agreed acquisition mandate and presented with the available appraisal evidence, comparables, planning position, missing information and the arguments against proceeding.
Acquisition opportunities from £1m. A limited number of mandates are held at any one time.
The opportunity flow is not the constraint. Viability is invisible from a brochure, and most opportunities should end at the screening stage.
The problem
The issue is that viability rarely announces itself. A consented site may not build out at the assumed cost. A block's headline yield may disappear once service charges, arrears, voids or capital expenditure surface.
A conversion can work on paper and fail on planning, daylight, means of escape, access, title or obligations nobody examined. These weaknesses are found through arithmetic, evidence and disciplined questions before enthusiasm takes over.
The mechanism
The difference
Every introduction carries the case against as well as the case for. Risks are not reduced to a disclaimer at the bottom; they form part of the analysis.
This approach is slower and filters out a larger proportion of originated stock. That is precisely the point: the process is designed to protect attention and help investors direct deeper due diligence toward opportunities that justify it.

If you would rather receive a small number of properly tested opportunities than a stream of untested listings, the first step is a clear written record of what you actually buy.
Registration begins with a short written questionnaire covering your hurdle rates, geography, funding, strategy and non-negotiables. Ina reviews it before arranging a brief intake conversation where appropriate. It commits you to nothing and costs nothing.
