Buyer-Side Advisory & Residential Development
An independent advisory practice guiding private clients in the acquisition and transformation of exceptional residential property in Milan.
ALP MILANO was established as a natural extension of an active residential development practice operating in Milan since 2017.
Over two dozen residential projects have been completed across the city.
Our advisory work is grounded in execution rather than theory.
Because we develop properties ourselves, we understand every phase of the process — from acquisition through delivery.
This practical experience informs the advice we provide at every stage.
We are an Anglo-Italian couple from Milan and London.
Over the past twenty years we have lived between Milan, London and New York, establishing ourselves permanently in Milan three years ago.
This perspective allows us to understand — and often anticipate — the priorities of international buyers, from asset fundamentals to the practical realities of relocation.
Our core activity is the identification and acquisition of residential property.
We prioritise quality over volume, typically focusing on assets valued above €1,000,000.
Each mandate receives direct senior-level involvement throughout.
We access both on-market and off-market opportunities through a trusted private network built over years of local activity.
Opportunities are identified and developed selectively, not broadly distributed.
Every property is assessed through technical, legal and urban due diligence.
Risk is identified early, quantified clearly and addressed methodically.
Negotiation strategies are measured, disciplined and effective.
We act exclusively on the buyer side, avoiding conflicts of interest.
Our clients include high-net-worth individuals, international families and private offices.
We collaborate closely with tax and legal advisors supporting relocation and ownership structuring.
In specific circumstances, we assist with medium-term rentals, typically ranging from twelve to twenty-four months.
These arrangements are treated as strategic interim solutions, not as substitutes for acquisition.
Whether a property requires full redevelopment or a targeted intervention, we assess scope objectively and advise accordingly.
Drawing on our background as property developers, we can deliver renovation services directly through our network of architects, designers and craftsmen.
Where appropriate, we act as General Contractor or Project Manager under clearly defined and separate mandates.
Acquired properties are transformed into long-term Milan family homes designed to support everyday life rather than short-term presentation.
Longevity informs every design and execution decision.
Our advisory relationship does not necessarily conclude at acquisition.
Should a client later decide to divest, we can support a discreet sale through our private buyer network, applying the same principles of selectivity and execution.
Disposals follow a disciplined approach: off-market positioning, qualified counterparties, efficient execution and cash-oriented transactions.
Continuity rather than intermediation.
The objective is not simply to acquire property, but to support long-term ownership decisions.
Residential assets are approached as enduring personal investments.
Clients are welcome to speak directly with past buyers we have advised.
Where appropriate, we also invite visits to active or completed projects.
Transparency is integral to how we operate.
We are not an agency.
We are not intermediaries.
We are advisors and developers.
