Feasibility studies
Should you be in a position to acquire or (re)develop real estate, it is essential to develop a deep dive analysis. We create a full financial impact analysis report based on the proposed strategy. Realfort models the consequences of various scenarios to offer clear and concise options and roadmaps and we can also test market variables in order to inform the final decision making.
Portfolio plan
When building a real estate portfolio, companies often base their acquisitions, disposals and other decisions on a real estate strategy and a tactical plan. These documents require periodic evaluation to ensure they represent the latest company requirements and insights and are up to date. To write a portfolio plan or make adjustments to an existing portfolio plan, there needs to be a strong consensus concerning strategy, goals, risks and returns. Realfort advises investors in the creation of a solid portfolio plan assists in gaining insight in the consequences of this portfolio plan for the existing portfolio.
Structuring advice
The way in which a real estate portfolio is structured, has consequences for, among other things, responsibilities, reliabilities, risks, financing opportunities and various taxes. Realfort is available to assist its clients in shaping a structure that fits their organization and portfolio. Often with support from other specialists like tax and legal experts, notaries and accountants.
Realfort is very experienced in restructuring existing real estate companies. Due to changes in the company or its scope or goals, or when shareholders or other stakeholders change, existing structures might require an update. This is usually a balancing act between many interests and therefore an intensive and complicated process. With our expertise of real estate, company structures, property finance, financial reporting and valuations, we manage such processes very well, serving and protecting our clients’ interests.
Transaction advice for rental, leasing, buying and selling
Clients in need of advice or guidance on a rental or acquisition/divestment transaction can turn to Realfort. We can manage the entire process or advise on any specific elements, such as managing a data room, advising on negotiations or carrying out value analyses.
Property valuation guidance
There are several reasons why property owners want to understand the property or the portfolio value. You don’t always need a valuation report. Sometimes calculations based on specific assumptions or scenarios are better suited to gain insight into the value or performance of the property, or to prepare an important decision.
