Discuss a consultancy engagementProperty consultancy & underwriting for the UK Living Markets
Consultancy and underwriting in the UK Living Markets turns insight into decisions.
We know how Living assets, capital and operators connect, and our advice is grounded in real-time market intelligence. Medbourne acts as third-party validation for investment committees, family offices and private capital, stress-testing demand, feasibility and location fundamentals, so capital decisions rest on evidence that holds up under scrutiny.
Consultancy
Demographic analysis
Demographic analysis and tenant-demand modelling across the UK Living Markets: target resident profile, affordability and income banding, and household-structure forecasting against local supply. We pressure-test the demand case behind a scheme and present it in investment-committee-ready form.
Location & market analysis
Independent market and location analysis for an asset or pipeline site across the UK Living Markets: catchment and competing-supply analysis, comparable transaction evidence, and rental and capital-growth forecasting. A grounded view of how a location performs today and where the evidence points next.
Underwriting & feasibility
Independent third-party underwriting and feasibility review for principals, family offices, lenders and investment committees across the UK Living Markets. We validate yield and cost assumptions against current market evidence, benchmark the business plan, and surface the risks that matter before capital is committed.
Investment committee reporting
Investment committee paper preparation in your firm's house style, across the UK Living Markets. We assemble the full transaction context, supporting market evidence, sensitivity ranges and a clear recommendation framework, so the paper reaching your committee is ready to support a decision.
Portfolio & asset reviews
Periodic or one-off reviews of a single asset or a full Living Markets portfolio. We assess performance against the original underwrite, model hold-versus-disposal outcomes, and set out repositioning options, giving owners and managers an evidence-led basis for the next decision.
Who we work with
The capital stack, both sides of the table.

Frequently asked questions
What does a consultancy engagement deliver?
An independent, decision-ready output: underwriting validation, market evidence, demographic and catchment analysis, and a clear recommendation framework with sensitivities, formatted for your committee or board.
Can you work alongside our existing advisers?
Yes. We frequently sit alongside in-house teams, lawyers and incumbent agents, providing the independent underwriting or market view those parties cannot. Our work complements existing relationships rather than displacing them.
Can you work in our firm's IC template?
Yes. We prepare investment-committee papers in your firm's format, with full transaction context, market evidence and a recommendation framework.
How long does an engagement take?
Scope determines the timeline. A single-asset underwriting review turns around faster than a multi-asset portfolio review, and the committed timeline is set out in the scoped proposal before work begins.
Are you independent of the transaction?
Yes. Our consultancy work is independent third-party validation. We are not incentivised by the transaction proceeding, and we say so when the evidence does not support it.
Which sectors do you cover?
Seven UK Living Markets sectors. Underwriting, feasibility and market analysis span every sector, and we are regularly asked to validate a business plan in a sector a client is entering for the first time.
