Off-Market Private Deals
Confidential transactions. Selected assets. Controlled execution.
We advise owners and investors in the UK on private transactions where discretion, access and structure determine the outcome, with our network supporting every step across Europe.
Positioning
Private transactions require
a different process.
Some assets call for a private process.
Their value may depend on confidentiality, a controlled universe of counterparties, direct access to decision-makers or a transaction structure beyond the reach of a conventional sales process.
GestInvest works on selected private mandates where the transaction requires senior-level involvement from initial positioning through negotiation and execution.
What We Do
Five areas of
private transaction.
Hospitality & Operating Assets
Hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, hospitality assets and selected operating properties where real estate and business considerations may intersect.
Prime & Income-Producing Assets
Selected high-quality real assets, income-producing properties, portfolios and assets with institutional or strategic investment characteristics.
Off-Market Transactions
Confidential acquisitions and disposals conducted through a controlled approach to selected counterparties rather than broad market exposure.
Portfolio & Complex Asset Transactions
Multi-asset situations, structured disposals, portfolio transactions and assets requiring a tailored transaction strategy.
Special Opportunities
Time-sensitive, complex or non-standard situations involving repositioning, shareholder circumstances, liquidity requirements or strategic transaction opportunities.
