Specialist Proposition

Real Estate & Infrastructure

Ownership structure, tax, financing and reporting for property portfolios and infrastructure assets — coordinated around the asset, not sorted by professional discipline.

Start a conversation

A property or infrastructure position is one situation, not several separate engagements.

Real Estate & Infrastructure is not a separate department at MEN — it is strategy, finance, tax, accounting, transactions and governance capability brought together around property portfolios, development structures and infrastructure-related assets. The work spans ownership structure, tax, financing, cash flow, accounting and reporting, coordinated around the asset or portfolio rather than treated as a set of separate professional engagements.

Start with the issue, not the department.

For owners and investors based outside the UK with UK property interests, MEN also provides a dedicated International Clients route covering UK-side tax, reporting and coordination.

When clients involve MEN

Typical situations

A property portfolio has grown across multiple SPVs and entities without a consolidated financial view.

A property or infrastructure acquisition or disposal raises SDLT, ATED or wider tax considerations that need coordinating.

A development or infrastructure project needs financial and cash-flow reporting as it progresses.

Property or infrastructure assets span more than one jurisdiction, with no single coordinated structure.

A portfolio needs proper management accounts and performance reporting as it scales.

How this connects

How MEN combines disciplines around these situations

A property or infrastructure position rarely stays inside one discipline. Ownership structure depends on tax; financing depends on reporting; a growing portfolio depends on governance and controls. MEN treats the disciplines below as one team around the asset or portfolio, not a sequence of separate engagements:

Strategy, Transformation & Structuring

Structuring ownership and group arrangements so they hold together as a portfolio grows or changes.

Finance, CFO & Performance

Providing the financial leadership and reporting discipline a property or infrastructure portfolio needs.

Transactions & Restructuring

Supporting the transactions, funding and restructuring that property and infrastructure situations bring.

Tax

Coordinating property tax, SDLT, ATED and wider tax considerations across the portfolio.

Accounting, Finance Operations & Business Services

Running the accounting, reporting and entity administration behind property entities and portfolios.

Risk, Governance & Compliance

Building the governance and controls a growing property or infrastructure portfolio depends on.

Where specialist expertise is required — including valuations, technical development appraisals, planning, engineering or building due diligence, quantity surveying, property legal work, regulated property-investment advice or complex infrastructure matters — MEN coordinates the work alongside appropriately qualified or authorised professionals.

Specialist valuation, surveying, planning, engineering, legal and regulated investment matters are undertaken alongside appropriately qualified or authorised professionals where required.
