Commercial property advice
Clear advice.
For every stage of your property.
Our commercial property advice helps owners, occupiers and investors plan their next move, from historic appraisals to new acquisitions. Local knowledge, relevant evidence and personal attention guide our approach.
01
Historic appraisals
Understand what your property was worth at an earlier date.
We assess historic commercial property values using the evidence available for the relevant period. Our work can support discussions with your tax adviser where a retrospective property appraisal is needed.
We’ll establish the purpose and valuation date, review the property’s history and explain the evidence behind our assessment.
02
Rent reviews
A clear view of the rent. A considered approach to negotiation.
We review the lease, inspect the premises and assess comparable transactions to advise on the rent at the review date. Our local sales and lettings knowledge helps put the evidence into context.
Use our report to support your own discussions, or instruct us to negotiate on your behalf. We take time to understand your priorities, including the ongoing relationship between landlord and tenant.
03
Lease renewals
Plan the next chapter of your lease with confidence.
Whether you’re a landlord or an occupier, we can assess the rental position and help negotiate the commercial terms of a renewal. Starting the conversation early gives you time to consider your options.
We work alongside your legal adviser where necessary, bringing property-market evidence and practical negotiation support to the process.
04
Property acquisition
Let us help you find the right space or investment.
Tell us your requirements, preferred locations and budget. We use property searches and our network of agents, surveyors and developers to identify suitable opportunities, including those that may not be widely advertised.
We can assess the shortlist and negotiate with the owner’s representative, considering both your immediate requirements and the longer-term implications of the proposed terms.
05
Planning & marketing reports
Turn marketing activity into a clear record of evidence.
Our reports record how we marketed a property, who expressed interest and how prospective occupiers responded. These can support your planning team where marketing evidence is needed.
Our advice can also draw together comparable transactions, available properties and local market conditions. We agree the scope and marketing period around the requirements of your project.
06
Land & development
Explore the commercial potential of a site.
We advise on development and redevelopment opportunities, helping owners and investors understand the market context and commercial prospects of a site. We work with opportunities both with and without planning consent.
Whether you’re considering a sale, looking for a site or reviewing your options, we can help assess demand and identify the next steps.
