Established in 1990 and based in London’s Covent Garden, we currently manage a portfolio in excess of 700 units across 300 commercial and residential properties located throughout the UK.

Our clients include individuals, family offices and corporates both in the UK and abroad. Our in-house team is comprised of investment, development management, building surveying, finance and administration professionals. Pelham Associates is a wholly owned subsidiary of DCD London & Mutual plc, a worldwide financial and asset management group with a core focus on real estate.

We are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) (insurance intermediary) and therefore adhere to their codes of professional conduct.

Our team of RICS qualified commercial property surveyors are able provide advice on all aspects of commercial property acquisitions and disposals.

We work closely with our clients to develop investment criteria that are achievable in the prevailing market conditions.

We source opportunities from a panel of UK agents and review and provide stock selection from the London commercial property auctions. On the sales side, we are able provide a full market & pricing review to achieve the most effective disposal.

Where appropriate, we strategically place groups of investors together to syndicate an investment purchase and often provide co-investment from one of our related companies. This ensures specific focus and alignment for investment parties.

Our asset management role ensures that the performance of the property we acquire is linked to our success. Active involvement in asset management also provides us with the ability to spot opportunities, be they operational or value add related. We have the skill and knowledge required to evaluate a property and devise the optimal strategy to maximise its value.
