Bespoke advisory and execution in global real estate
Benguela Ventures is a real estate advisory and services firm that provides bespoke solutions across commercial, residential, and hospitality assets — from primary residences and investment properties to offices, warehouses, hotels, and short-stay rentals — with each opportunity selected for its untapped potential.
While Benguela Ventures operates across multiple markets, delivery is contingent on having the local networks, resources, and capacity required to ensure the highest standard of service.
A reliable partner for private and institutional investors
We See Potential
Where Others See Risk
Fragmented listings and limited access to off-market channels further hinder finding or reaching the right buyers, tenants, or properties.
Even when opportunities arise, over 50% of landlords say property oversight is a full-time job, and nearly half self-manage, leaving little capacity for developments, expansions, or relocations.
Many investors shy away from foreign real estate markets out of a simple fear of the unknown. Concerns over unfamiliar regulations, opaque processes, and untested local networks reinforce this hesitation.
In South Africa, for example, foreign home buying dropped from 6.5% of purchases in 2008 to 3.7% in 2024, despite the Rand depreciating by 67.6% against the Euro between January 1, 2008 (€1 = ZAR 12.06) and January 1, 2024 (€1 = ZAR 20.20), making property far more affordable in Euro terms.

The firm designs and executes targeted leasing strategies, leveraging a broad network of local agencies, brokers, and off-market channels to source qualified tenants or buyers. Services include property marketing, viewings, applicant vetting, and lease or sale negotiations. Market-driven pricing and occupancy strategies ensure assets achieve optimal performance while minimising vacancy risk.
