AURUM REAL ESTATE PARTNERS

What AURUM REAL ESTATE PARTNERS does

Aurum Real Estate Partners Limited is a London-based specialist property investment advisory and co-investment firm founded in 2009 by Peter Goldstein and Robert Cannock. The firm advises and invests alongside institutional investors, private property companies, family offices, and high net worth individuals on commercial property acquisitions, developments, and asset management across the UK and broader European markets. Its core offering spans deal origination (with an emphasis on off-market acquisitions of underperforming, mis-managed, or distressed assets), co-investment participation, targeted third-party equity and debt raising, investment strategy and portfolio consultancy, acquisition and disposal advice, asset and development management, and leasing and occupational advice. The two founding partners contribute approximately 70 years of combined transactional experience, and the firm states involvement in over £5 billion of transactions since inception across sectors including commercial offices, mixed-use developments, and student residential.

The firm's revenue model combines retained advisory fees from ongoing client mandates with transaction-based advisory and success fees on acquisitions, disposals, and capital raises. AURUM also co-invests its own capital alongside equity partners and development finance providers, structuring transactions where partner equity is raised in parallel with AURUM's own contribution. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed, reflecting the high-value, customised nature of each mandate. The core operating team comprises five individuals (two Directors and three Consultants), supported by an established network of retained clients, equity partners, and finance providers; the firm does not operate any proprietary technology platform or digital distribution channel, and customer acquisition is driven by direct relationships, referral, and off-market deal origination rather than marketing-led demand generation.
