The latest move comes after the MFO launched its corporate finance arm and enhanced private equity business earlier this year.

Sandaire, the international multi-family office, has expanded its offering with a new real estate advisory arm, following the launch this year of corporate finance and enhanced private equity businesses.

The offering, Sandaire Real Estate, will provide strategic portfolio, transaction and asset management services and advice, as well as the ongoing management of individual property assets and portfolios for both new and existing clients. As part of the launch, the firm has appointed Chris Horler as managing director while Robert Stokely has been appointed as a director.

Horler, a chartered surveyor, has over 30 years’ experience in real estate. Horler specialised in investment valuation and finance and went on to establish pan European real estate businesses for Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS across Europe. He was head of Europe for REIT Asset Management and latterly director of property at Arbuthnot Latham, where he set up their commercial property finance business in 2016.

Stokely is a fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and has more than 25 years’ commercial property experience. Prior to joining Sandaire, Stokely was a founder and director of LSH Investment Management. Between 2006 and 2015, he was an equity partner at Edward Symmons prior to its acquisition by Lambert Smith Hampton. Previously he ran his own eponymous commercial property consultancy, Stokely Commercial.
