This divestment supports Kexgill’s strategic pivot towards deeper engagement with UK university partnerships.
The Kexgill Group successfully notarised the sale of one of its German residential investments in Berlin on Friday, 1 August 2025. The transaction — a multi-family investment rather than a student asset — was formalised in the presence of the buyer and agent Sascha Moayed.
This selective sale forms part of the Group’s broader strategy to prioritise long-term UK university collaborations and invest further in its community-led, affordable student housing model.
Commenting on the transaction, Richard Stott praised the efficiency and clarity of the German notary system in contrast to the conveyancing process in England and Wales. “With one neutral, central point of contact, a single legal responsibility, and faster outcomes, the system offers certainty without the drawn-out legal exchanges we often face in the UK,” he noted.
The timing of this transaction is particularly notable, coming just weeks before Stephen Willis officially joins the Kexgill Group as Joint Managing Director.
Stephen’s arrival marks the beginning of a new phase of growth for the Group, with formal announcements expected shortly regarding significant public-private collaborations that reinforce Kexgill’s commitment to working alongside universities across the UK.
