Renewal & Reoccupation · A related mandate

Making an existing residence capable of carrying its next chapter.

Not every residence should be sold.

Some require restoration, adaptation or a new form of use before they can become relevant again to the family or to their next occupants.

A related mandate

Renewal & Reoccupation is accepted where it arises from, or is connected to, a residence matter already before the House.

DGF Private Office defines the purpose of the renewal, assembles the appropriate professional team and remains the family's point of continuity through the project.

Situations in which the mandate may be relevant

  • Technically outdated
  • Unused or underused
  • Unsuitable for the next generation
  • Divided among conflicting family expectations
  • Historically important but difficult to inhabit
  • Capable of reoccupation after sensitive adaptation
  • Being prepared for lease or eventual transfer

The role of the House

  • Establish the intended future use
  • Coordinate the decision between restoration, adaptation and reconfiguration
  • Prepare the professional brief
  • Appoint architects, engineers and technical specialists
  • Coordinate budget and chronology
  • Preserve the connection between architectural character and future use
  • Coordinate planning, legal and tax advisers
  • Supervise the adviser relationship
  • Prepare for reoccupation, lease or later transfer

DGF Private Office coordinates the mandate. Appointed specialists remain responsible for their professional work. The House is not the architect, structural engineer, construction company, general contractor, project certifier or planning authority.

Request consideration

A few considered sentences on the residence, the family circumstances and the reason the House is being approached are more useful than particulars.

Please do not submit passports, identity documents, bank statements, legal instruments, school records, medical information or other confidential material through this initial form.

The limits preserve the purpose

DGF Private Office is not a conventional family office, property portal, relocation company, private bank, law firm, tax practice, investment manager, construction company or concierge provider. The House is appointed for a defined matter of continuity. It does not assume permanent administration of the family's wealth, investments or general affairs.

Where an accepted matter requires specialist or regulated work, the House appoints or coordinates the appropriate professional.

DGF Private Office remains the point of continuity. Each appointed provider remains responsible for their professional work.
