1 A guide to our real estate services

2 a tall order Cluttons has a strong reputation in the Middle East and is the name banks and investors trust to provide accurate residential and commercial valuations, especially for more unusual properties. In the prestigious Burj Khalifa, Dubai, we were tasked with valuing an entire residential floor owned by a private investor and a rare four-bedroom terrace apartment.

4 a new lease of life With the growing demand for commercial to residential conversions in London, Cluttons spotted an opportunity for one of its fund management clients to significantly increase the value of its asset in the heart of London s West End. By re-gearing one of the leases to facilitate early vacant possession, and proving potential for additional floor space on the upper floors of the property on Jermyn Street, we were able to sell the five upper floors to a residential developer while retaining the retail element to release a substantial capital gain of over 50% on the initial purchase price.

5 Established in 1765, Cluttons was one of the early pioneers of surveying and has over the last 250 years been instrumental in shaping modern professional practice and new working methodologies.

8 A smart investment By using our strong connections in the Middle East, along with insight into the shortage of student accommodation in London, we advised a Middle East investment bank on a structured finance transaction for a high-quality, 18-storey student accommodation scheme in Aldgate, City of London. The undersupply of student accommodation creates a market opportunity for specialist developers and for investors to realise attractive returns on capital through the development process.
