Commercial property brokers

Find out who really controls the freeholder, and what else they own.

The registered proprietor of a building is often an opaque SPV. Before pitching a disposal, a valuation or an off-market approach, you need the person actually making the decision, and whether they hold other assets worth bringing into the same conversation.

What you get

  • Unwrap any SPV to its ultimate controlling individual or parent company.
  • See every other company that person or entity controls, a proxy for the size of their wider portfolio.
  • Spot shared directors or PSCs across seemingly unrelated holding companies, revealing one landlord operating through many vehicles.
  • Reach a named person, not a registered-office mailbox.

How it goes

  1. 1

    Search the freeholder

    Company name or number from the Land Registry title, or the individual behind it.

  2. 2

    Unwrap the SPV

    Follow the chain up to the individual or parent actually in control.

  3. 3

    Check the wider group

    See every other company that person or entity controls.

  4. 4

    Open the property records

    See every property that group actually owns, from HM Land Registry.

Case study

One landlord, four buildings, four different names

The situation

A broker is asked to find off-market disposal candidates in a specific postcode and has four separate freeholders in mind, each held by a differently named limited company.

What they did

Opening each SPV shows all four are controlled by the same two individuals through a common holding company, information none of the four Land Registry titles show on their own.

The result

One conversation with the actual decision-makers replaces four separate cold approaches to registered-office addresses, and the broker pitches a portfolio disposal instead of four single-asset ones.
