MSc in Property Investment, London
Harvard Business School Real Estate Executive Programme
Nigel is in his 36th year as a property professional. He trained and worked in London, working in markets in the UK, Germany and Scandinavia before living in Germany for five years in the early nineties. There he oversaw cross border corporate property transactions, acquisitions for retained international clients, carried out portfolio valuations, and managed complex commercial property matters for a host of multinationals.
Doing business in former East Germany so soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall was a challenging yet rewarding learning experience. After returning to the UK in 1996, Nigel gained experience as an investor as well as continuing his advisory work.
Moving to New Zealand in 2001, Nigel founded The Consultancy to provide others with the benefit of his experience, knowledge, and worldwide network of fellow professionals. Nigel resides in Auckland, and whilst much of his work is now local to New Zealand, he retains strong links to property professionals worldwide through relationships established through his work and education.
These days Nigel undertakes specific corporate property tasks for clients, advises private clients of solicitors, accountants and banks on their property holdings, manages portfolios of commercial property, carries out due diligence for clients on potential acquisitions, negotiates on sales, leases, and acquisitions on behalf of clients, and as a Licensee under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 is authorised to market, negotiate and conclude property transactions for clients.
Nigel rates attending and completing the Real Estate Executive Education Programme at Harvard Business School as one of the most inspiring things he has done. He was able to benchmark his skills and experience alongside 50 other property professionals, from 25 countries, and study, learn and share some contemporary ideas and thoughts in the areas of capital markets, project finance, and business strategy.
