Ready-made solution
Valuation Register
Challenge
Assets are valued several times a year by different valuers, each in their own format. Teams collate and standardise them by hand, which gets slow and error-prone as portfolios grow.
Solution
Lateral receives valuations from valuers, banks and directors and rolls them up into portfolios, with like-for-like comparisons across periods. Less manual work, fewer errors and every valuation on record.
Animation built from a sample European portfolio. Ten assets in one fund grow to 277 assets across six funds, valued in four currencies. Each six-monthly valuation adds a storey to every asset held; between valuations 65 assets are sold and 95 bought, 1,459 valuations in all. Manual collation strains under it, then the Valuation Register snaps everything into one consolidated view: 30.45 billion euros net value at December 2026, up 1.73% like-for-like over six months.

Ready-made solution
Debt Register
Challenge
Debt usually sits in a dedicated system, run in-house or by a service provider. These systems work, but are rarely connected to live asset and portfolio data.
Solution
Lateral connects to your debt system, or holds the debt itself, and shows facilities, hedges, lenders and balances alongside live asset and portfolio data.
Animation built from a sample European portfolio at December 2026. 307 assets are held through 60 SPVs, and each SPV carries its own debt facility. Debt fills each SPV to its loan-to-value, 40.3% across the portfolio, with 12.26 billion euros drawn. Forty lenders fund the facilities, two to four each, and 90 interest rate caps hedge 83.5% of the drawn debt. Kept in a separate system, the debt drifts away from the valuations and has to be reconciled by hand. The Debt Register links it back to the live valuations, recalculates every LTV and flags the 3 SPVs above their LTV covenant.

Everything Connects
Vertically
Assets roll up to SPVs, funds and group, and every change flows through, so everyone works from the same numbers.
Horizontally
Debt is linked to the SPVs and assets it finances, so LTVs and covenants always use current values.
Externally
Valuers and debt systems feed data in, and clients can connect their own AI directly to Lateral.
Animation built from a sample European portfolio at December 2026. Vertically, each of 307 assets links up to its SPV, its fund and the group. Horizontally, each SPV's debt sits on the same structure, so LTV and covenants use live values. Externally, valuers and debt systems feed data in, and AI can read it directly from Lateral. Then one real revaluation, Landmark Gallery from 92.4 to 99.7 million euros, travels through every level: its SPV, Allure, moves from 47.0% to 46.2% LTV, Fund One and the group update, and an AI query returns the new figure.

Custom
Build your own solution
Not everything fits a ready-made register. We build custom solutions in Lateral around how your teams work, typically in weeks, depending on scope.
Your structure
Designed around your data, definitions and reporting, either from scratch or by adapting our ready-made solutions.
The same foundations
Secure hosting, access controls, roll-ups and connections to your systems and AI, as with our registers.
Kept right
We understand the data and its context, so we reconcile formats and definitions, check that it's accurate each quarter and coordinate across teams.
AI-ready
Ask AI, safely and reliably
Dropping spreadsheets into Claude or ChatGPT feels productive, but your data can end up outside the organisation, and the answer comes back confidently, whether it's right or not. Lateral gives your AI a secure, structured source to work from, whether you use our solutions or your own.

Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or any other AI tool, under your existing agreements.
