Craigard is an energetic and fast moving property partnership with a strong pedigree and proven track record.
Now over fifteen years old, we have transacted around £200million of buying and selling since inception in early 2005, and have demonstrated our ability to thrive through a boom, bust and recovery cycle.
Targeting all forms of added value commercial property between £500,000 and £5million, a thoughtful and analytical approach is applied to each opportunity. We adopt a measured 'risk and return' approach, flexible to each project, so we can target opportunities which might not suit the mainstream investment market.
A significant player in the South of England, we are comfortable UK-wide for the right asset.
We are well-positioned with strong investor support and good banking relationships to make well-considered acquisitions over the coming months as the world hopefully starts to recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have a long-standing acquisition team behind us, well-versed in our focus on deal delivery.
The 2008/2009 banking crisis led to a need for significantly more equity than previously, and to this end a proven syndication structure was adopted in 2011. Since then we have been fortunate to be supported not just by our two original funders Atkins and Deeley but a total of around 50 High Net Worth investors – many of whom are in multiple syndicates and all of whom have been introduced on personal recommendation.
We pride ourselves that we always co-invest and we make our profit on an incentivised performance basis after an investor priority return, so interests are aligned.
Craigard has let the entire top floor of its flagship Prism building to South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS).
Yet again Craigard has demonstrated an astute ability to pick winners with the sale of its St Albans warehouse investment only two years after purchase.
