Working on behalf of local and international clients, our areas of expertise include advisory, construction & project management, and property management.
Our Services
Advisory
Manton Advisory provides independent strategic counsel to trustees, family offices and portfolio owners responsible for estates, residential portfolios and hospitality properties.
Led by Alexander Mackay, whose experience includes direct ownership, high-end residential redevelopment and the acquisition and sale of British country house hotels, the advisory work is grounded in practical responsibility and commercial judgement.
Property held across generations requires careful safeguarding, alongside considered adaptation to secure long-term viability.
We advise on acquisitions, major redevelopment proposals, estate restructuring and significant investment decisions before capital is committed.
We are not estate managers. We provide clear, independent advice to those accountable for property assets.
Our focus is the careful stewardship of property wealth across generations.

Construction & Project Management
Whether we have worked alongside a client from the very beginning of the design process or if they have come to us with completed and approved plans in hand, our project team will manage every aspect of the construction of their new home and grounds.
With our black book of trusted experts and our breadth of project experience, we guide clients through the costing and tender stage, and assemble and mobilise the right team of professionals. Our experience of working for owners of listed properties has provided us with an understanding of the more contentious and challenging aspects that might arise.
Each client is appointed their own dedicated project manager who acts as their single point of contact, liaising on their behalf with the on-site project team. We provide clear and timely communication guaranteeing peace of mind to deliver a cost-effective beautifully finished project.
Property Management
We often work with clients who take on houses which have largely been neglected for decades. We ensure that first and foremost it is safe for our client and their family to live in, and then we create comfortable surroundings whilst they decide what they are going to do with their home. These services include the installation of security, an overhaul of the existing heating and electrical systems, the removal of any asbestos, roof works, garden and grounds maintenance, until such time as they wish to bring their masterplan to fruition.
For all properties that we have renovated, we offer an annual management program covering all aspects of the house and its surroundings from security updates, to boundary management and annual servicing of utilities. We guarantee ongoing peace of mind for as long as clients wish us to remain involved.
