DivitiaeAcquisitions

Acquisition & origination · nationwide

Finding buildings was never the hard part.

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

Everyone receives the same circulation emails. Volume was never the issue.

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 Divitiae Filter

01 · Mandate

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.

02 · Origination

Build a relevant opportunity flow

Potential acquisitions are identified through agents, owners, developers, administrators, receivers and direct approaches, including selectively circulated opportunities.

03 · Arithmetic

Test the commercial logic

Price and comparables, day-one and stabilised net income after voids and operating costs, residual land value, GDV, build-cost sensitivities, planning, title encumbrances, funding and realistic exits are tested where relevant. Most opportunities stop here.

04 · Introduction

Present what survives

A credible match is introduced with verified facts separated from assumptions, missing evidence and sensitivities. If the case cannot be explained clearly in writing, it is not sent.

The difference

You will be told why not to buy it.

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.

Scope · £1m and above

Property opportunities nationwide. One evidence standard.

Residential & multi-unit

Income-producing blocks, residential portfolios, larger licensed HMOs, fractured-title opportunities and other multi-unit assets. Assessed for stabilised cash flow, vacant-possession or reversionary upside, repositioning, break-up, lease re-gearing or title strategy.

Commercial & repurposing

Vacant or underlet offices, retail, high-street mixed-use, light industrial and redundant buildings assessed for existing income, Class MA or other permitted-development routes where applicable, or comprehensive planning repositioning.

Development & strategic land

Consented brownfield and infill sites, part-built or stalled schemes, land assemblies and strategic plots where planning gain, layout optimisation or another evidenced route offers credible delivery potential.

The unglamorous part.

A small number of mandates, held properly.

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.
