The Holdings Desk
We buy, sell and hold property for our clients.Holdings is our property trading division. We source land and commercial assets, run the title and approval checks ourselves, negotiate the price and take the transaction through to registration. Some assets we buy and hold on our own book, some we acquire for clients, and some we co-invest in alongside them. In every case the diligence file is the same, and you see it in full before you decide.
Title & Diligence
Encumbrance certificate, mutation, approvals and litigation search on every asset
Valuation & Pricing
Comparable sales, circle rate and rental yield, so the price is argued, not assumed
Our Clients
What buyers and co-investors say about the desk
“ They found a litigation on the second parcel that our own broker had missed. We walked away, and were thanked for it later. That is why I have bought twice more through this desk. ”
“ The valuation note gave me comparable sales, circle rate and an honest rental view. I negotiated with facts instead of a feeling, and the price came down. ”
“ Registration, mutation and possession were handled end to end. I was travelling for most of it and still had a written update every week. ”
“ We co-invested in a commercial floor and exited in the third year. The profit share was calculated exactly as the agreement said it would be. ”
“ What I value is being told when a deal is not worth doing. Twice they have advised me to wait, and both times they were right. ”
“ Clean paperwork, no surprise charges, every cost shown at actuals. For a family buying its first commercial asset, that mattered more than anything. ”
How we buy
An asset is bought only when the paperwork, the price and the exit all stand up. Any one of the three failing is enough for us to walk away from the deal.
- Title, encumbrance and litigation search before negotiation
- Approvals, land use and mutation status verified on record
- Valuation built from comparable sales and rental evidence
- Price negotiated against documented defects, not sentiment
- Registration, mutation and possession tracked to completion
What you receive
A written diligence file on every asset we put in front of you: what is clean, what is not, and what the risk is worth in rupees.
Diligence file
Title chain, encumbrance certificate, approvals, tax receipts and litigation search in one bound file
Valuation note
Comparable sales, circle rate, rental yield and a defensible price band with the workings shown
Planning the exit
We agree how an asset leaves the book before it enters it, and we review that decision with you every year it is held.
- Hold and lease for yield, with tenant sourcing handled
- Resale at a target price band agreed at purchase
- Sale to a developer or co-investor where the plot suits it
Property is illiquid and prices can fall as well as rise. We will give you our honest view of the holding period a given asset needs, and if the timeline you have in mind does not fit the asset, we will say so before you buy.
