Case Studies: Anonymised Files from the Last Three Years

We publish anonymised summaries of completed files because the question “show me what worked” is fair and reasonable, and the brochure version of the answer is useless. None of the cases below identify a client, a property or a transferring bank by anything more specific than country and quarter. Counterparties running diligence get the unredacted versions over signed correspondence, not the open web.

Why the cases below, not testimonials with photos

Two reasons. Testimonials with photographs are the easiest single trust signal to fabricate, and the AI-generated competitor sites in this niche fabricate them at scale. A well-told anonymised file describes a real problem and a real solution; a photographed quote does not. The second reason is professional: our clients aren’t asking to be on a marketing page, and the ones who would let us put them there are not the ones we want as the public-facing examples of our work.

The published files

• Saudi family, Istanbul property route, file closed Q4 2024 — the textbook clean file.
• German-Turkish dual-language buyer, Antalya, fund-and-property hybrid, Q1 2025 — the case the 2024 German law reform changed.
• British investor, Izmir property, Q3 2025 — what an unfashionable city does for the exit math.
• UAE resident with Iranian source of funds, deposit-then-property, Q2 2025 — the cross-border banking case that took two months longer than budgeted, and why.

We will add new files as they close and clients consent to publication of the anonymised version. The honest files include the rough edges (a stage that took six weeks longer than estimated, an appraisal that came in below the threshold and forced a renegotiation, a corridor bank that asked for additional KYC mid-file). That’s the point of writing them up.

Counterparty due diligence

If you are a law firm, a bank or a journalist running diligence on the cases above, the unredacted versions, the signed engagement letters, the appraiser’s report and the conformity certificate references are available through etc [at] virugroup [dot] company under signed correspondence. We do not share client identities to anonymous addresses.
