What does Intelligent Partnership do?


Intelligent Partnership is a dynamic global real estate consultancy with a proven track record of delivering creative and cost-effective solutions to an extensive portfolio of clients. With a turnover in excess of £1 million and staff of eight, intelligence is at the centre of all their work. Viewing their clients as partners, IP’s approach sets them apart and shows they understand the industry not just the transactions. With a structured approach to managing projects, viewing them as collaborative undertakings, the firm aligns the interests and satisfies the needs of all stakeholders ... at every stage. IP says that it is careful not to start projects with poorly defined requirements and unrealistic deadlines. It focuses especially hard on the initial planning process to put together a credible and robust plan with realistic deliverables.


after IP fi nancial modeling, all project partners agreed that 4 and 5-bedroom villas should be progressed instead. IP was fully engaged in, and delivering, the fi nal site plan with GDV £30 million. IP worked closely with KPMG and FNTC, as did our partner, Valhalla Associates, to devise a structure fully protecting the interests of Residence Club owners through a separate asset- holding company where buyers of the product would be shareholders of the company – overseen by a Trust company securing owners interests. 10 club members per residence will be offered a rotational reservations system to ensure fairly-shared usage rights. Owners can choose to use their guaranteed weeks, rent their back to Baglioni or exchange a week within a luxury exchange programme through The Registry Collection. The project overview IP planned and executed took into consideration comparative and competitive analysis, projected


ROI scenarios, pension compliance, and purchase-related considerations including title insurance and extensive pre-sales preparation. To appeal to a truly extensive client base, IP delivered all collateral to the highest possible standard designing brand guidelines, an overall creative concept and brand icon, coffee table and volume sales brochures, plus a stationery pack and advertising template. We also provided architectural models of villas used at events and on displays, as well as high-quality CGI renders of the internal and external hotel and resort site along with onsite photography and a resort video. IP also developed a sophisticated blog, a twitter feed, a face book page and a YouTube channel alongside a teaser website, main website and an e-marketing strategy that included fl yers, newsletters, plus a brochure and download area for press and introducers ... complete with fi les and JPEGs
