Investment Sales & Acquisition

Property has historically proven to be a lucrative and steady form of investment. As a tangible asset it offers security for investors that can protect against currency fluctuations and the increasingly erratic nature of the stock market and commodities.

Our investment advisors have access to an impressive contact database as well as insight into the latest trends and capital flows.

As well as a strong position in Malaysia, our integrated Residential and Commercial Investment and Agency teams provide seamless cross-border expertise through our global office network.

Supported by dedicated research teams we provide in depth sector and country specific advice and are often the first to identify new opportunities and investors in the market.

Portfolio analysis, acquisition and disposal services

The team provides property investors and owners with sales services for all types of land, commercial and industrial assets. We survey on suitable asset types, existing yield structure and upside potentials. Property inspections are executed to gauge asset maintenance and upkeep standards, potential capital expenditure and asset enhancement possibilities. An investment report is presented to describe the asset, which includes an investment analysis and cash flows to highlight potential return. We identify suitable assets that fit the investment portfolio and advice on innovative sale terms that should be incorporated in the agreement to make a successful purchase / sale.
