How Capsticks can help

  • Disposal of void units

    Whether you are running a rolling programme to dispose of certain void homes (e.g. those outside your core geography, or which are no longer ideal for other reasons); disposing of a portfolio of void properties; or selling other properties such as garages, commercial units, and/or freehold reversions, we have the expertise.

    Our team will guide you, step by step, through the process – ensuring completions are delivered quickly and smoothly.  Whether you are selling through auction, or by private treaty, we have buyer-approved documents to deliver capital receipts when you need them.

  • Mergers and acquisitions

    Our partner-led expert team will make sure you understand fully the organisation, properties and staff involved in the project so that your partnership is a success. Open and honest communication, and a real understanding of assets and liabilities, is critical to a successful project and we will support you every step of the way with this – from ensuring you have all the information that you need (both to provide and to receive to your partner(s)); agreeing realistic timescales; liaising with your funders and stakeholders and so much more.

  • Security charging

    We advise RPs on the charging (securitisation) of large portfolios of tenanted properties to secure a wide range of funding arrangements, as well as on pre-charging, unallocated charging and rolling charge programmes, value uplifts and strategic charging reviews.

    Highly proactive, pragmatic and solutions-focussed, we have a strong track record in property charging and affordable housing finance security dating back to 1989 with the inception of private finance. Clients trust us to deliver their desired outcomes efficiently and smoothly.

    Our growing team charges many thousands of properties a year, almost always achieving Market Value Subject to Tenancies (MV-T).

  • Stock rationalisation

    Whether you are buying, selling, or swapping portfolios of properties, our team will guide you through the process to ensure a successful project.  We work on around 20 transactions each year, from small portfolios of care homes to hundreds or thousands of units in mixed-use schemes.  This includes working with housing associations, local authorities, and for profit providers.  Our tried and tested approach secures completion quickly and painlessly – asking the right questions at the right time. 

    Our experience means that we know what  “market norm” is and what you should/should not be pushing for – and we will guide you every step of the way.
