As a family office there is a dilemma. Direct development is time-consuming and complex, while investing in GP funds offers little Limited Partner control combined with a long fund life and institutional returns.
Syndications and co-investments are an alternative, but do little to improve governance or reduce fees. What is more, the marketplace is dominated by institutional sized deals, with Family Offices missing out on the higher returns that come from sub-institutional real estate deal sizes of £1 to 10 MM per transaction.
Today, Family Offices can tap into our marketplace where private capital is sought by hundreds of experienced and local UK developers seeking equity and mezzanine finance, in a fundamentally strong and dynamic market with excess demand.
Deallocker provides Family Offices with access to higher-return UK real estate deals with greater control, transparency, and lower fees than fund or syndication investing. Combined with our managed service, Family Offices can implement a scalable, outsourced investment management solution with independent advice.
Our solution is simple. Family Offices can invest directly (as equity or lenders) to the development SPV. They can be sole investor, or join with other investors as a club deal. Below we explore and compare the differences between Deallocker's solution with common alternatives existing today for Family Offices.

Alternative assets are poised for exponential growth. Bain expects private-market assets under management to reach as high as $65 trillion by 2032 and account for 30% of all AUM by then. There has never been a greater time for Family Offices to compete with Private Equity. If the boom of Private Equity was financial innovation 2.0 following the saturation of passive investing, the ascendency of Family Offices as serious players in capital markets is the future of finance 3.0.
