Taylor Wessing advises UL Invest on its acquisition of a majority stake in Vesta Home

Taylor Wessing advised UL Invest, a single family office founded by Laurent Useldinger, on its acquisition of a majority stake in Vesta Home, the company that operates the Hosman neo-real estate agency. The transaction was carried out as part of a fundraising round marking the end of Vesta Home's receivership proceedings, which began in September 2024.

Founded in 2017 by Stanislas de Dinechin and Benjamin Bavuz, Vesta Home has developed, through its Hosman brand, an alternative model to traditional real estate agencies, based on a fixed fee, payable only upon success.

UL Invest is a single family office whose activity is structured around four major asset classes: real estate (value-add and private debt strategies), financial markets, private equity—combining a buy-out growth approach for companies generating between €3 million and €10 million in ARR and expertise in special situations—and expertise in special situations, as well as hotels and restaurants.

The entry of UL Invest as a majority shareholder ensures the continuity of Vesta Home's business, consolidates its innovative business model, and preserves jobs.
