SPI Advisory
Specialist Mandates
When a standard brief won’t suffice. SPI takes on complex, confidential, and unconventional property mandates that require discretion, creativity, and deep market access.
What Qualifies
Types of Mandates
Ultra-Confidential Acquisition
Principal identity undisclosed throughout the process. SPI acts as the sole point of contact, managing all market engagement, viewings, and negotiations without revealing the buyer’s identity until exchange.
Multi-Jurisdiction Search
Simultaneous searches across London, Brazil, and European markets. Co-ordinated reporting, unified mandate scope, and a single advisory relationship spanning multiple countries and legal systems.
Family Office Consolidation
Multiple properties consolidated into structured holdings. SPI advises on the reorganisation of property assets across family members, trusts, and corporate vehicles — often involving cross-border elements.
Development Site Assembly
Discreet land aggregation across multiple freeholders. SPI manages the process through intermediaries, preventing price inflation that typically accompanies site assembly when the developer’s identity becomes known.
Dispute Resolution & Forced Sale
Advisory and intermediation in contentious property situations: divorce proceedings, partnership disputes, probate sales, and court-ordered disposals. Discretion and speed are paramount; SPI provides both.
Relocation Mandates
Corporate or personal relocation across international borders. SPI manages the entire property dimension: disposal in the origin market, acquisition in the destination, and the timing coordination between both.
How It Works
The Mandate Structure
Exclusive Retainer Engagement
Specialist mandates operate on a retained basis. This ensures dedicated senior resource, aligned incentives, and the ability to work with full discretion from the outset.
Defined Scope & Reporting
Clear mandate scope, agreed timeline, and structured reporting cadence. You know exactly what SPI is doing, when, and what progress has been made at every stage.
Senior-Led Execution
Rubens Brotto personally leads every specialist mandate. No delegation to junior staff, no handoffs to a “team.” The person you brief is the person who executes.
NDA & Confidentiality Framework
Formal confidentiality agreements at the outset. All market engagement conducted under NDA where required. Information compartmentalised and shared only on a need-to-know basis.
Case Studies
Anonymised Mandates
Mandate A
Institutional Value-Add Acquisition
A Luxembourg-based co-investment platform engaged SPI to source income-generating commercial assets across the UK at below-market value. The mandate required properties with refurbishment potential, strong tenant covenants, and ESG upgrade pathways. SPI identified a 100,000+ sq ft freehold office in a major UK regeneration zone — acquired at a 31% discount to the vendor’s original purchase price, with 85% occupancy and a 45% reversionary rental uplift.
Mandate B
Industrial & Alternative Assets
Multiple active briefs across warehousing, self-storage facilities, data centres, and logistics hubs. SPI sources off-market opportunities through its institutional network, evaluating covenant strength, location fundamentals, and capital deployment timing for clients ranging from family offices to specialist funds.
Mandate C
Luxury Asset Advisory (via Nest Seekers Network)
Through the Nest Seekers International platform — including Nest Collections, Nest Yachts, and Nest Jets — SPI facilitates acquisition, disposal, and charter of high-value luxury assets: fine art, jewellery, supercars, private jets, and yachts. Each mandate is handled with the same discretion and senior-led approach as property advisory.
