We have compounded patient capital through three property cycles by holding what we buy, managing what we hold, and selling only when the market overpays.
We don't chase trends, leverage to the limit, or scale at the expense of returns. The Crestbourne and FasthomesUK playbook is unfashionably patient - and has compounded steadily for 28 years.
We identify undervalued assets — usually off-market — where the gap between current rents and stabilised potential is material, and where capex requirements are well-understood.
Every Crestbourne and FasthomesUK asset is operated by our own team. Leasing, maintenance, capex, compliance — no outsourcing. It's slower to scale, but it's the source of our returns.
Our average hold is nine years. We sell only when the market materially overpays — otherwise the income compounds quietly, the equity de-risks, and the next acquisition gets funded internally.
