Know your exit before you enter.
Institutional-grade exit planning has always been the preserve of large funds with in-house M&A teams and established agent relationships. APEX changes that. Every APEX member — regardless of portfolio size — can model, plan, and execute an exit with the same rigour and counterparty access previously available only to the largest players in UK real estate.
Four routes to liquidity — all inside APEX.
Single Asset Disposal
Off-marketQuietly dispose of individual assets without tipping your hand in the open market. APEX connects you to a curated network of verified private buyers — family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and smaller funds — via anonymised matching and progressive disclosure. Addresses revealed only on mutual confirmation.
Portfolio Block Sale
InstitutionalInstitutional buyers — pension funds, REITs, listed property companies, and open-ended property funds — frequently seek bulk acquisitions. APEX prepares a structured data room from your existing portfolio records and facilitates introductions to pre-qualified institutional buyers with proven acquisition history.
Fund Matching
Mandate-ledSpecialist and generalist UK property funds periodically seek specific asset types, geographies, or income profiles for deployment. APEX matches your portfolio (or individual assets) against active deployment mandates — providing a route to liquidity that bypasses traditional agent processes entirely.
Lease & Leaseback
Capital releaseRetain ownership of your asset whilst releasing capital. APEX connects asset owners with institutional lease-and-leaseback counterparties — particularly relevant for operational assets, care homes, and properties with long income streams. Keep the freehold. Release the equity.
Run the numbers before the conversation.
Too many asset disposals are initiated without a clear picture of what the exit will actually return. Agents focus on headline price. The real question is what lands in your account after debt, costs, and tax.
APEX's exit modelling tool runs every number against your actual portfolio data — debt balances, acquisition costs, accrued capital expenditure, and income received to date — to deliver a precise net proceeds figure under multiple exit scenarios.
The model updates in real time as you adjust exit timing, achieved price, and debt repayment assumptions. No spreadsheet. No external model to maintain. Just answers.
IRR calculation
Internal rate of return modelled from acquisition date to projected disposal — accounting for all capital deployed, debt costs, income received, and exit proceeds. Presented as both levered and unlevered IRR.
Net proceeds analysis
Exit proceeds after senior debt repayment, exit fees, agent and legal costs, CGT provisions, and SDLT recapture where applicable. What you will actually receive — not what the headline number suggests.
Timing sensitivity
Model how your IRR and net proceeds shift across different exit windows — 1, 3, 5, and 10 years — under base, optimistic, and stress scenarios. Identify the optimal exit point given your cost of capital.
Comparable transactions
Benchmark your expected exit yield against comparable recent transactions in the same postcode district, asset class, and tenancy profile. Grounded in Land Registry data and APEX transaction history.
From decision to completion.
Run the exit modelling tool. Input assumptions, review IRR, net proceeds, and timing sensitivity. Understand what a disposal is actually worth before you engage anyone.
