Cycles
A company formed in 1986 has traded through the crash of the early nineties, the long expansion that followed, 2008, and everything since. None of that is a credential in itself. What it does mean is that the company's approach has been tested against falling markets as well as rising ones, which is the only test that matters.
The lesson from those periods is unexciting and always the same: the businesses that get into difficulty are the ones whose plans required conditions to stay favourable. Gearing that only works while values rise. Development appraisals with no allowance for the programme slipping. Assets bought on the assumption of an exit that was never contracted.
How we are structured
Chaseslot is deliberately a small company. Property does not reward headcount; it rewards judgement about specific buildings, and judgement does not scale by hiring. Professional advisers — surveyors, solicitors, engineers, accountants — are appointed for each matter, so we get people suited to the job rather than people who happen to be on the payroll.
How we are financed
Conservatively, and deliberately so. The point of holding assets for the long term is defeated by a capital structure that forces a sale at the wrong moment.
