ELLIOTT JAMES
INVESTMENTS

Our exclusive setup uses distressed assets to secure returns at a low risk. The magic is in the contacts and connections that supply these below market value properties, combined with the right structure.

A Property Investment Platform  
Built For Secured, Hands-Off Capital

Elliott James Investments is built around structured, asset-backed real estate investment.

Our primary focus is working with high-level investors and lenders who want secured exposure to property through first charge lending, without operational involvement. Alongside this, we also work with investors who want to own assets directly and have them professionally managed.

Everything we do is based on structure, risk management, and execution. We are selective in who we work with and deliberate in how capital is deployed.

Who We Work With

Our investment platform is
designed primarily for

High-level private investors
Real estate lenders seeking first charge security
Family offices looking for structured,
property-backed exposure

Secondarily,  
we also work with:

Investors purchasing assets directly
Individuals seeking managed renovation
or repositioning strategies

This is a selective, application-based service. Alignment matters, and not every investor or opportunity is suitable for our structures.

Our Core Focus – Finding The Opportunity And Making It Work

Everything starts with the asset

We focus on sourcing opportunities where value exists due to complexity, distress, condition, or execution requirements that most buyers avoid. These are not retail purchases and require experience, discipline, and hands-on management.

If the numbers do not work conservatively, the opportunity does not proceed.

Investment Structures

Model 1 – High Level First Charge Lending (Primary Focus)

This is the core of Elliott James Investments.

In this structure, investors act as real estate first charge lenders, while Elliott James executes the entire project end to end.

How The Structure Works

Elliott James sources and analyses the opportunity
Full cost and return modelling is completed
The opportunity is presented for approval
Investor funds are transferred into a Spanish SL SPV  
(Special Purpose Vehicle)
The asset is purchased through the SPV
A first charge is registered in favour of the investor by our lawyers

The cost of registering and maintaining the charge is built into the project financials and treated correctly within the return model.

Execution And Exit

Once acquired, Elliott James manages the full lifecycle of the project, including:

Renovation using our approved building company with an approved track record
Furnishing by our approved Interior Designer and positioning for resale
Professional photography and video
Full marketing plan and sale on the open market using all industry sales platforms

Upon sale:
Investor capital is repaid, and the first charge is settled
The structure can be repeated on future projects if approved by the investor

Returns And Security

Fixed returns between 5%–12%, depending on term and capital deployed
Secured by first charge over the property

This model is designed to prioritise secure first charge lending with professional management.

Model 2 – Investor Owned Assets With Elliott James Management

This structure is for investors who want to own the asset directly while benefiting from Elliott James’ experience and execution.

In this model:

Elliott James sources and advises on the opportunity
Full cost and return modelling is completed
The opportunity is presented for approval
The investor purchases and holds full title
Ownership and liability remain entirely with the investor

We then either manage the renovation fully or provide structured guidance, depending on the investor’s preference.

Fees

Fixed Elliott James management fee (Fee confirmed based on the project size and length)
5% plus IVA exit fee

Execution And Exit

Elliott James delivers:

Professional photography and video
Pricing and positioning strategy
Full marketing plan and sale on the open market using all industry sales platforms
Sale execution

This model is designed for investor control and liability with professional management.

Model 3 – Long Term And Distressed Asset Strategies

We also work with longer-term strategies involving distressed assets, including properties with okupas.

These opportunities:

Are typically acquired at discounted prices
Require patience and specialist legal handling
Do not have fixed timelines or guaranteed returns

In this structure:

The investor holds full ownership of the asset
Elliott James manages the legal and operational process
Returns are variable and asset-dependent
Elliott James charges a fixed management fee

Once the asset is recovered, it is reassessed for resale, long-term rental, or repositioning.

Model 4 – Hybrid And Bespoke Investment Structures

For certain investors and family offices, we structure hybrid investment models that combine different elements of capital, security, and involvement.

These structures are bespoke and built around the opportunity and investor requirements.

Key Characteristics

Fixed returns between 10%–20%, structure dependent
Security includes options of first charge, second charge, and debenture over SPV shares, and varies depending on the model
Clear documentation and alignment from the outset

We keep the focus on creating a system that works, rather than forcing capital into a predefined product.

Track Record And Execution

Execution is where most investment models fail

Elliott James has successfully:

• Acquired multiple real estate assets
• Deployed external private funding
• Managed renovations and repositioning
• Exited assets through the open market

Rather than publishing sensitive information publicly, we provide track record examples, data, and case studies through a gated process.
