Questions we hear

What people ask us before they open an account

These are the questions that come up most often when someone is deciding whether to trade with us.

What exactly does Xampion Estate Realty do?

We run a trading desk for property-backed securities. Clients open an account with us, place buy and sell orders on listed real estate instruments, and we handle execution and settlement. We are operated by XAMPION UK LTD and registered in the United Kingdom.

How much do I need to open an account?

Our minimum opening deposit is modest, and you can start smaller than you might expect. There is no charge for opening the account itself, and you only pay the trading commission when an order actually fills.

What fees will I actually pay?

There is a commission on each executed trade, a small annual account administration charge, and any third-party costs such as stamp duty where it applies. We publish the full schedule on the site and there are no hidden charges.

Can I take my money out whenever I want?

Yes. You can request a withdrawal at any time. Cash that is not tied up in open positions usually reaches your nominated bank account within three to five working days, though bank processing times can vary.

How do I place a trade, and can I speak to a person?

You can place orders yourself through the online account, or call our desk during market hours and a dealer will place the order for you. Many clients start on the phone and move to the online account once they are comfortable.

Is my money protected if something goes wrong?

Client money is held in segregated accounts with a UK bank, separate from our own funds. We are registered with the Financial Conduct Authority, and eligible deposits may fall under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. We can walk you through the details.

A trading desk built around property, not around hype

We set up Xampion Estate Realty because buying and selling property-backed securities in the UK was harder than it needed to be. Most people we spoke to either could not get access to the market at all, or had to go through a broker who charged a fortune for a simple trade. We wanted to build something plainer: a desk where you can buy and sell listed real estate instruments, see a clear price, and know what you are paying.

The business is operated by XAMPION UK LTD, and we are registered in the United Kingdom. That means we work within the UK regulatory framework, hold client money in segregated accounts, and keep records that can be inspected. We are not a fund, and we do not manage anyone's portfolio on their behalf. We are a trading venue and a dealing desk, and that is all we set out to be.

Our clients are a mixed group. Some are private investors who already hold shares and want property exposure without buying a building. Some are landlords who have sold up and want to keep a foothold in the sector. Others are smaller institutions and family offices that use us for execution on instruments they already understand. What they have in common is that they want a straightforward trade at a fair price.

On the desk itself, we keep things simple. Orders are executed during London market hours, and we publish our commission schedule openly so there are no surprises on the contract note. If an instrument is illiquid or we cannot get a sensible fill, we will tell you rather than quietly working the order at a bad price. That kind of honesty is what keeps clients with us.

We are not trying to be the biggest name in the market, and we do not promise returns. Property securities move with interest rates, tenant demand and the wider economy, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. What we can promise is a clear process, a person on the end of the phone, and no hidden charges. The rest is for you to decide.
