Capital partners
JV equity deal flow for institutional and family office capital
We originate and structure development joint ventures for UK property developers, and we maintain a small register of institutional and family office partners who take the equity position. Register your appetite; we verify eligibility, then share opportunities that fit it, privately.
Institutional and family office investors only
This page is directed exclusively at institutional investors, FCA-authorised firms and other investment professionals, and at bodies corporate, partnerships and trusts meeting the high net worth thresholds of Article 49 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005. It is not directed at, and registrations cannot be accepted from, individuals in any capacity. Nothing on this page is an offer, a recommendation or investment advice, and no specific investment opportunity is promoted here. Capital invested in property development is fully at risk and is not covered by the FSCS or FOS.
What the register is
JVEquity.co.uk is the JV and equity desk of the Construction Capital portfolio. Developers bring us schemes; we structure the capital stack, place the senior and mezzanine debt, and introduce the equity slice to a capital partner whose criteria the scheme fits. The register is how that matching works from the capital side: a record of who deploys, at what cheque size, into which sectors and regions, so that the opportunities you see are the ones you would actually consider.
As of June 2026 the deal flow is UK residential and mixed-use development: conversions, permitted development schemes and ground-up sites, typically £1m to £10m total capital stack, with equity slices of £250,000 to £2m and build programmes of 12 to 30 months. Every scheme we introduce has been through the same desk that structures the debt, which means the appraisal, the senior terms and the intercreditor position arrive already tested.
How pledging capital works
- 1. Register. Confirm the registering entity's category, your indicative cheque size per deal, and the sectors and regions you deploy into. Registration is an expression of appetite, not a commitment.
- 2. Verification. We verify eligibility before anything is shared: the entity's status, and standard know-your-client checks. Individuals cannot be verified onto the register.
- 3. Private deal flow. When a scheme fits your stated appetite, you receive the deal pack privately: appraisal, evidenced GDV, proposed stack and senior terms, SPV and shareholders' agreement structure, developer track record, and the proposed priority return and profit split.
- 4. Direct investment. If you proceed, you invest directly into the scheme's SPV on documents negotiated by your own advisers. There is no fund and no pooling: each deal is a separate company and a separate decision.
Why the deal flow is worth a place on the register
The structural problem with development equity is origination: the schemes that need equity are found by debt brokers, and most debt brokers introduce the equity as an afterthought, unstructured, with the shareholders' agreement still to be negotiated and the intercreditor questions unasked. Our founder spent 25 years on the lender side at Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group structuring exactly these layered transactions, and the desk structures the JV documents and the debt together before either is placed.
Practically, that means opportunities arrive with the senior facility's terms already negotiated, reserved matters and deadlock mechanics already drafted into the shareholders' agreement, and the developer's appraisal rebuilt to credit-committee standard. Partners decline most of what the market sends them because the packaging wastes their time; the register exists so what reaches you has already survived the same scrutiny a lender would apply.

Frequently asked questions
Who can register as a capital partner?
Institutional investors (funds, pension schemes, insurers), FCA-authorised firms and other investment professionals, family offices investing through corporate or trust structures, and bodies corporate, partnerships or trusts meeting the high net worth thresholds in Article 49 of the Financial Promotion Order 2005: broadly £5 million of share capital or net assets for a company or partnership (£500,000 where it has more than 20 members) or £10 million of assets for a trust. We cannot accept registrations from individuals, including high net worth individuals investing personally.
What do capital partners actually invest in?
Direct shareholdings, sometimes alongside shareholder loan notes, in single-scheme UK development SPVs, the special purpose vehicle that owns one development project. Each investment is a separate decision on a separate company. There is no fund, no pooling of investor money across schemes, and no discretionary management: you appraise each opportunity on its own documents and invest directly into the SPV, or decline.
What does a pledge commit us to?
Nothing. Registering records your appetite (cheque size, sectors, regions) so we only show you opportunities that fit. Each opportunity is then a standalone decision made on its own legal documents, with your own advisers. You can decline every deal we show you and remain on the register, or ask to be removed at any time.
How are opportunities shared?
Privately, after eligibility verification, typically under a non-disclosure agreement. A deal pack contains the development appraisal with evidenced gross development value, the proposed capital stack and senior debt terms, the SPV and shareholders' agreement structure, the developer's track record, and the proposed priority return and profit split. Nothing deal-specific appears on this website.
What returns do JV equity investments target?
We do not publish target returns on this page, deliberately: equity returns depend entirely on the individual scheme's profit and the structure agreed, and figures quoted out of context become a financial promotion. Typical structures pair a priority return on invested capital with a share of residual profit; the economics of each opportunity are set out in its private deal pack.
Is this regulated, and what protections apply?
Lenzie Consulting Ltd is not authorised or regulated by the FCA. Investing in development SPVs is not a regulated product: there is no Financial Services Compensation Scheme cover and no recourse to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Capital is fully at risk, returns are not guaranteed, and an investment is illiquid until the scheme sells or refinances. Where any element of a transaction constitutes a regulated activity, it is carried out by, or referred to, an appropriately authorised firm.
