Hostcol Ltd · London & United Kingdom
A real estate business covering a broad range of property services for private and institutional owners in London and across the United Kingdom, from acquisition and transaction support through to the day-to-day management of assets in use.
Why Hostcol
Most of the value in a property is won or lost long after the keys change hands: in the tenancies signed, the repairs deferred and the strategy nobody revisited.
Hostcol is built around that whole span. The people who appraise an asset are the people who run it, so what was assumed at the start is tested against what the building actually does. One relationship instead of four, and one place where the answer lives.
What we do
Each sits at a different point in the life of an asset. Use one, or bring them together under a single mandate.
Introduction film
Under a minute on what we do, who we do it for, and why owners choose one relationship instead of four.
Who we act for
Individuals and families holding a building or a portfolio, often inherited or built up over years, who want it run properly without it becoming a second job.
Funds, trusts and corporate holders who need consistent management, a reliable reporting line and a partner who can absorb the operational load.
Anyone at a turning point: buying, selling, restructuring or taking over an asset managed by someone else that needs an honest assessment.
How we work
Not aspirations. These are the terms on which we take instructions, and you are entitled to hold us to them.
We act for the owner. Where a conflict could arise, including any interest elsewhere in the transaction, it is disclosed before you decide anything.
Our fee is agreed with you in advance. Any commission or referral payment reaching us from a third party is disclosed and set against what you pay.
We take on what we can genuinely run. If a mandate would stretch us past the standard we promised, we say so and decline it.
Sometimes the right answer is to do nothing, or keep the arrangement you have. We would rather tell you than manufacture a mandate.

About the holding company →Questions
Straight answers to what owners ask us first.
All questions and answers →Hostcol Ltd is a UK real estate company that works for private and institutional property owners across the whole life of an asset: acquisition, disposal and transaction support; property and portfolio management; asset strategy and income optimisation; and independent advisory.
Private owners and families, institutional owners such as funds, trusts and corporate holders, and owners at a turning point: buying, selling, restructuring or taking over a property managed by someone else.
Hostcol works with owners in London and across the United Kingdom. It is registered in England and Wales, with its registered office at 128 City Road, London EC1V 2NX.
An agent is usually paid when a deal completes and a managing agent to keep things running. Hostcol holds the whole picture for the owner: the people who appraise a property are the people who go on to run it, so there is one relationship instead of several.
Fees depend on the service and the size of the property or portfolio, and are always agreed in writing before work starts. Any commission or referral payment reaching Hostcol from a third party is disclosed and credited against your fee.

The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If we are not the right people, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
