Job Description:

Investment and Asset Manager | London | £80,000–£100,000

Private residential portfolio · Confidential search managed by Velop

A respected private residential investment company is looking for an Investment and Asset Manager to take on a genuinely dual-track role: equal parts active asset management and investment, across an established residential portfolio in London and the South East.

You will be hands-on with operational performance and third-party team management, while also taking clear ownership of the investment lens: valuations, capex prioritisation, transaction support, and long-term portfolio strategy.

The portfolio includes a large urban residential estate with a long-standing and diverse resident community, including affordable, regulated and assured tenancies, alongside a second asset requiring careful strategic capital planning. Experience with affordable or regulated residential is an advantage.

Asset management responsibilities:

  • Day-to-day asset management and operational performance across both assets
  • Managing and performance-managing third-party property management teams
  • Delivering active improvement projects across lettings, community, and infrastructure
  • Resident escalations, including legal complexity and regulated and protected tenancy situations
  • NOI optimisation, leasing strategy and income performance

Investment responsibilities:

  • Valuation awareness and year-end valuation management across the portfolio
  • Capex prioritisation and capital planning, including major works programmes
  • Supporting transaction execution including divestment preparation and acquisition underwriting
  • Business plan execution and investment performance reporting
  • Contributing to long-term portfolio strategy alongside the Investment Director

You will likely come from:

  • An institutional or private residential platform with direct accountability for asset and investment performance
  • A landed estate, housing association, or affordable/mixed-tenure operator where both the investment and operational dimensions of a portfolio sit with one person
  • A strategic advisory or in-house asset management role where you have been close to both the numbers and the assets

Experience with affordable housing, regulated tenancies, or social and mixed-tenure residential will be viewed favourably. MRICS or equivalent is advantageous but not required.

This is a confidential search.

Applications are welcome from candidates of all backgrounds.
