Division Overview

Invest in London.

For private buyers who want a London home worth living in. We find characterful property priced below what it is worth, then rebuild the interior to your plan — so you end up with a better home, on better terms, than anything you could have bought ready-made.

Our Principles

Four principles. Source it right, then build it right.

01

Bought Below Value

The margin is made at purchase, not at resale. We look for the property the market has mispriced — probate, tired condition, a seller who needs to move — and we are retained exclusively by you, never the seller.

02

Off-Market Intelligence

The majority of Prime Central London's best transactions never reach Rightmove or Zoopla. Through our network of solicitors, probate specialists, and private banks, we access opportunities before the market does.

03

Transaction Intelligence

We frame every acquisition in investment terms — gross yield, net yield after SDLT and agent fees, comparable rental demand, area price trajectory, and exit logic. You receive analysis, not enthusiasm.

04

Rebuilt To Your Standard

Once it is yours, we strip the interior back and rebuild it — your layout, your specification, your finishes. Design, costing, contractors and site management run through one desk, and we are still the people you call afterwards.

Division 01 -- Invest in London

A Home We Find, Then Rebuild For You

We source Grade II listed buildings with architectural and historic character in Zone 1, change use where needed, and rebuild from the ground up. The result: a fully bespoke, zero-luxury-standard home delivered 15-25% below market value.

Brick & Fortune investment process — company setup, financing and value-creation steps infographic

01

Off-Market Sourcing

We find unlisted Grade II buildings in Zone 1 through solicitors, estate offices and private banks -- opportunities that never reach Rightmove.

02

Consent & Use Analysis

We assess planning permission, listed building consent and any required change of use before you commit.

03

Ground-Up Refurbishment

The building is rebuilt to zero-luxury standard -- historic facade preserved, modern comfort throughout.

04

Delivered Below Market

Result: a fully bespoke home delivered 15-25% below comparable new-build schemes.

How We Work

Representative scenarios.

Three examples typical of this desk. Not actual client transactions — they are here to show what a property bought below value becomes once the interior has been rebuilt.

The figures below are illustrative only. They do not represent any specific client, matter, outcome, or guaranteed result.

01South Kensington · Onslow Gardens

From Probate File to Family Home

Below-value acquisition + full interior rebuild

A four-bedroom flat held by the same family for forty years and never touched. Probate meant the seller needed a clean, quick completion, so the property was acquired well under its comparables. The interior was then stripped back and rebuilt to the family's plan — ceiling heights and window joinery kept, everything behind them brought up to date.

Illustrative: £2,150,000 purchase + £480,000 rebuild
02Marylebone · Devonshire Street

A Tired Building, A New Interior

Survey-led price reduction + rebuild

The survey found damp, dated wiring and a roof needing replacement. Where most buyers walk away, we cost the works line by line and use them to bring the price down. The three-bedroom flat was bought at a discount larger than the works themselves, then finished from scratch in the client's own specification.

Illustrative: £1,680,000 purchase + £390,000 rebuild
03Kensington · Cornwall Gardens

Two Flats Made One House

Adjacent pair + consent to combine

Two flats side by side on the same floor, marketed separately. Buying both and combining them into a single home came in materially below the price of a finished property of the same size. Planning consent and freeholder approval were resolved before exchange; the result is one five-bedroom house.

Illustrative: £2,950,000 purchase + £620,000 combination and rebuild
