St Congar Properties specializes in the refurbishment and redevelopment of complex, major offices and mixed use schemes in London and the South of England. We provide high quality and well managed space for the occupier and build first class investment opportunities for equity investors and institutional partners alike. Our attention to detail, organisational management structure and entrepreneurial vision combine with the highest standards of real estate expertise and professionalism.
The Team
Every project requires a dedicated project team, each under the leadership and management of St Congar’s own executive team, to see it successfully through the complex process of identification, evaluation, structuring and funding, acquisition, asset management and realisation of a successful scheme. St Congar selects each team from an informal 'panel' of specialist professional firms – choosing the team with the right expertise and resources for the particular challenges ahead. We, therefore, have a team of creative and innovative thinkers with complimentary skills that range across the disciplines needed to carry out a large scale development. We create and implement the strategy, set the brief, manage the diverse specialists essential to its realisation to ensure their motivation.
Success in our job is as much about getting the right people in the right roles, as it is managing the programme and communicating our progress, every step of the way to our partners. We pride ourselves on understanding the needs and expectations of our partners and try to anticipate those needs in the following roles:
- Lawyers - title, funding, tax, litigation, appointments and contracts
- Accountants - due diligence, tax advice, accounting, funding, service charge
- Surveys - building, structural, services, environmental, contamination
- Design - architects, master planners, structural and services consultants, landscapers
- Environmental - strategic consultants, environmental engineers, LEED/BREEAM assessors, surveys
- Construction - project managers, cost consultants/quantity surveyors, CDM and Health and Safety, contractors/specialist sub-contractors, Building Regulations
- Planning - planning consultants, specialist advisors in the fields such as highways, arboricultural requirements, wildlife and ecology, endangered species and archeologists

- Property management - managing agents, facilities managers, security, dilapidations surveyors, rent reviews
- Insurance - property, title, professional indemnity, construction

Each investment project is, in reality, an individual business and will have a large budget to manage - as every business needs a committed and controlling management team, so does a real estate investment project. This is what St Congar Properties provides.
Types of Partners
We are proud of the business we have established and of the people we work with. We now wish to build on that base and to expand our business with new investment projects and the introduction of additional funding partners.
Acquire new properties - St Congar Properties is continually seeking further properties offering opportunities for value enhancement, particularly in our core Central London and South East markets.
Joint ventures with owners - with our expertise and substantial track record, we can also offer the same skills to owners of such properties, on the basis that we would share in the value improvement we create.
Funding/investment - we welcome prospective investors and financiers wishing to commit substantial funds to the our market in partnership with a proven specialist operator.
