HELIX INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE ADVISORY LIMITED

What HELIX INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE ADVISORY LIMITED does

Helix International Real Estate Advisory Limited is a privately held, UK-incorporated (Company Registration Number 16631661) international consultancy that advises high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and professional intermediaries on cross-border real estate investment and ownership structuring. The firm operates from London with offices or representatives in Belgium, Dubai, South Africa, California, and Florida, and publicly extends coverage to Portugal, Poland, and Greece. Its mandate spans prime residential, leisure, commercial, and citizenship/residency-linked real estate, with adjacent structuring work covering tax efficiency, Inheritance Tax (UK), SITUS Estate Tax (US), Capital Gains Tax optimization, probate reduction, and multi-jurisdictional succession planning.

The firm delivers its services through four named components: HelixCore (strategic structuring and ownership framework drafting), Helix360 (research reports, financial models, and local regulatory/taxation/currency analysis), TriHelix (market intelligence for due diligence), and HelixQuant (quantitative analysis for investment assessment). These are described as research and structuring frameworks rather than a technology platform, and the firm discloses no underlying technology stack, API, or AI/ML components. End-to-end engagement covers asset selection, due diligence oversight, acquisition support, and post-acquisition management, leasing, and resale strategy.

The business model is professional services: bespoke, quote-based advisory fees on a high-touch, consultative basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no transactional commissions highlighted. Distribution is direct — referrals from professional intermediaries (wealth managers, lawyers) and direct engagement with HNWIs and family offices — supported by a content-marketing website. Leadership comprises Katherine Sinclair (General Manager), Henry Hollingdrake (Strategic Lead), and Maxim Hayan (Strategic Lead, Europe); the firm is small (1-10 employees), self-funded, with no disclosed institutional investors, and was founded in 2025.
