Fortix Capital

Real estate investment built on genuine expertise.

Fortix Capital combines proven deal execution with patient, long-term capital to create value across UK residential and commercial property.

Fortix Capital is a specialist real estate investment firm and joint venture between Watson's Property and SecureHome. We deploy long-term capital across UK residential and commercial property, bringing together Watson's track record in complex deal execution with SecureHome's patient family office capital and deep operational expertise. The result is an investment partner that understands property from every angle, not just the financial one.

Land and Development

From strategic land acquisitions to brownfield and greenfield development opportunities, we identify potential where others see complexity and back our conviction with capital and operational know-how.

Industrial and Logistics

Warehousing, distribution, last-mile logistics and urban industrial properties represent some of the most compelling opportunities in UK real estate today, and we are active investors across all of them.

We are operators as well as investors. That distinction matters.

Many capital providers can write a cheque. Far fewer understand how properties perform once the deal is done.

At Fortix Capital, our investment decisions are informed by decades of hands-on experience managing, developing and repositioning real estate across the UK. We know what we are buying, why it will perform, and what it will take to make it do so.

We are also deliberate about how we work. We move quickly when speed matters, we provide certainty when others cannot, and we take a long-term view when the asset warrants it. There are no committee delays, no shifting mandates, and no hidden agendas. What we say, we mean.

Our investment approach is deliberately flexible. We do not limit ourselves by asset class, deal size or hold period. Instead, we back our judgement, deploy capital where we see genuine opportunity, and work closely with every counterparty to find the right outcome.

Fortix Capital - A SecureHome & Watson's Property Joint Venture

The joint venture

Together as Fortix Capital, we deploy long-term capital across UK residential and commercial real estate with genuine operational capability and partnership approach.

Watson's Property brings a proven track record in sourcing and executing complex real estate transactions across the UK, including distressed assets, administrator sales and time-critical acquisitions.

Their capability in moving quickly, with unconditional offers and capital already in place, has made them a trusted counterparty for agents, administrators and institutional sellers who need certainty above all else.

SecureHome is a family office investment business whose founders, James and Carina Ackrill, spent twenty years building the UK's largest independent property management firm. That experience created something that patient capital alone cannot buy: a genuine, operational understanding of what makes real estate assets perform over the long term. SecureHome contributes not only capital, but the kind of insight that only comes from decades of active involvement in the sector.

Together, as Fortix Capital, we offer something the market rarely finds in a single partner. The ability to move with speed and conviction, backed by the experience to know exactly what we are investing in.
