About the group
A residential property group built to think, and eventually act, like a principal.
Ecclesia Group works across land and residential property, connecting landowners, developers, investors and high net worth clients today, and building towards acquiring, developing and owning homes in its own right.
Who we are
A single residential group across two disciplines.
Ecclesia Group is a residential property acquisition, development and investment group based in England. We bring the land homes are built on and the homes themselves into one operation, so that capital and assets can move between them without friction.
We are deliberately early stage and deliberately ambitious. The group is being built in the right order. Network and deal flow first, systems second, balance sheet third. When Ecclesia acquires and holds assets, it does so from a position of knowledge rather than speculation.
What we do
Four things, done properly.
Source off market residential opportunity
Direct landowner, vendor and agent relationships, proactive site finding against live requirements, and a pipeline of land and homes that rarely touches the open market.
Appraise like an owner
Every opportunity is tested on fundamentals. Value, structure, planning risk, exit and the strength of the eventual hold, before it moves anywhere.
Structure and place
We match opportunity to the right developer or investor and help structure the transaction. Outright, joint venture, forward funding or option.
Acquire and develop as principal
Increasingly, Ecclesia takes opportunities onto its own balance sheet. Acquiring, progressing planning, developing and holding for income and growth.
How we operate
Principles that do not move.
Off market first
The best opportunities are created through relationships and timing, not portals. We work where competition is lowest and information is highest.
Fundamentals led
We start with the numbers and the structure. Value, planning, cost, exit and the strength of the hold decide whether an opportunity moves.
Structure over speed
A well structured transaction protects every party. We would rather take longer and get the structure right.
Discretion by default
Landowners, vendors and partners rely on confidentiality. Nothing is disclosed without instruction.
Aligned interests
As Ecclesia moves to principal, our interests sit alongside our partners, in the same assets, on the same terms.
Long horizon
We are building a group to own and operate assets for decades, not to transact and move on.
Who we work with
Every side of the transaction.
Ecclesia is useful precisely because it is not on one side of the table. We work with the people who own land and residential property, the people who build the homes, and the people who fund them.

Where we operate
Focused on three regions, not spread across the country.
Ecclesia operates across the South of England, the Midlands and the North West. We do not spread thinly across the whole country. Three well understood markets let us build deeper relationships, appraise faster, and act with conviction when the right opportunity appears.
The long term vision
More than a real estate firm.
Ecclesia Group associates itself with high net worth clients and capital from around the world. Our long term vision reaches past investment returns, to building homes, churches and schools, and to creating and restoring the spaces where communities take shape.
Our vision is simple. To replicate excellence through real estate.
From intermediary to principal

NextOwn
Hold completed homes and residential assets for recurring income and capital growth.
HorizonOperate
Manage and operate the homes we own, and create and restore the spaces around them.
HorizonThis is a strategic direction and an ambition. It is not a forecast, a guarantee, or an offer to invest.
The ecosystem
One network, compounding.
The more of the chain Ecclesia touches, the more opportunity it sees first, and the more value accrues to the group itself.
