About Us

We are a boutique, specialist Real Estate Investment Advisor and Asset Manager. We provide strategic advice and asset management in Commercial property across the UK and Europe to a select number of high net-worth individuals, family offices, institutions, and private equity investment partners.

We also help identify and acquire compelling real estate on your behalf.

Our focus is on driving strong investment returns whilst providing conservative strategies to enhance and protect your wealth. The interests of our clients are foremost in our minds in everything that we do. Our clients are our Partners so our relationships and values are at the centre of all that we do. 

Our discreet, personalised approach starts with building a relationship with you, and understanding your objectives, and is then laser-focused on providing properties and ongoing asset management to develop and optimise the performance of your bespoke investment portfolio.

Hardington Capital was formed by Robert Bartlett in 2011. Previously CEO of Chestertons for 11 years, Robert was also an equity partner with Cluttons LLP, one of the oldest firms of Chartered Surveyors in the UK. With extensive networks and decades of experience, we specialise in finding property investments and development opportunities that are seldom traded publicly, thus providing a unique deal flow and delivering strong returns to investors. 

Assets under management for private clients are already well over £100M and an increasing number of clients are hearing about the service and returns that we proudly provide. The management team also has extensive experience in fund management.

Hardington Capital has focused on investing in and asset-managing predominately income-producing property assets, including regional HQ-type buildings. However, with our market insight, we know that property markets change so we constantly review our strategies to ensure they will produce great results for our clients.
