What kind of buildings do you look for?

Underused, empty or end-of-life commercial buildings — offices, shops, light industrial — in places with genuine residential demand. If you own or represent one, get in touch and we'll tell you quickly and plainly whether it's a fit.

Do you only work in Greater London?

Greater London is our focus. It's where we know the market, and where the right buildings and real demand meet. We'd rather do one area well than spread ourselves thin.

We have a building that might suit — how does it work?

Tell us roughly where it is and what it is. We assess quickly, and where it works we move decisively and deal fairly. We know a clear, certain sale can matter as much as the headline price — for probate, retirement, a portfolio tidy-up or a lapsed lease — and we work that way.‍ ‍

Why work with Meristem?

You deal with the people who make the decisions. Meristem is led by Yi-Lung Chang, who spent fourteen years as a landlord and has renovated a number of properties hands-on — so we see a building as somewhere people will live, not a line on a spreadsheet. We're deliberately small, straightforward to deal with, and clear about what we can and can't do. No chain of intermediaries, no games.‍ ‍

Do you work with private investors?

Yes — alongside our own funds, we work with a small number of private investors on selected projects. We're not raising money through this website, and nothing here is an offer or invitation to invest. But if backing carefully chosen conversions is something you'd want to explore, we're glad to have a conversation.‍ ‍

Have a building that might suit, or want to talk something through?

Get in touch via the contact form or info@meristemdevelopments.co.uk — we read every message and reply personally.
