Commercial Property Agency

We use our market knowledge and specialist skills to advise on the sales and lettings of commercial property. We understand all of our client’s needs are different so our marketing strategies are tailor made for each instruction in order to achieve the best results.

Valuation

Our professional RICS regulated team can carry out valuations on commercial assets and portfolios. This can be for taxation purposes, loan security, Charities Act 2011 compliance, or any other requirement our client has. We carry out detailed inspections and use local and national market knowledge along with comparable evidence to provide accurate and reliable advice.

Landlord and Tenant

By analysing documentation with an expert eye, we can advise on rent reviews, lease renewals, dilapidations, dispute resolution and many more Landlord and Tenant matters. Whether acting on behalf of either party, we will use our negotiation skills, knowledge of commercial property legislation and our experience to ensure our client achieves the best possible outcome.

Property Management

We can create a bespoke property management package depending on our client’s requirements. This service can include rent and service charge collection, maintaining tenancy records, accounting, managing the day-to-day running of the property, ensuring statutory obligations are met, organising insurance, addressing any issues which may arise and ultimately optimising the value of the asset. We can also provide Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and associated energy advice to ensure a client’s asset is legally compliant and energy efficient.

Acquisitions

Whether a business is in the early start-up stage, well established and ready to expand, simply looking to relocate or if we have a client wishing to acquire an investment, we can offer an acquisition service to assist our clients in taking the next step. Not only can we help to find a suitable property but we can represent our clients when negotiating terms and see the transaction through to completion. We even carry RICS accredited building surveyors who can complete acquisition surveys and technical due diligence.
