Marketing

We have a track record of arranging successful commercial property transactions in London and the South East for well over 20 years. We work with individual property owners, property companies, business owners and occupiers to assist in the development of a strategy for the acquisition or disposal of commercial properties.

Every commercial property comes with unique potential which we will fully expose to the market.
Our individually tailored transactional advice gives a realistic appraisal of the likely outcome, timescale and cost of achieving your objective. If you are disposing of commercial property we can provide a fully strategised marketing campaign which could be conducted by informal or formal tender, best and final offers, conditional contract or even leaseback. We also have links with all the central London auction houses should this be appropriate for your property.

Whatever your objective our aim will be to minimise the timescale and maximise the return.

Over the decades of trading in South East London we have created firm business relationships with many commercial property surveyors throughout the UK. Details of all commercial properties which we are marketing are usually sent to those surveyors.

In simple terms whether you are buying or selling we are here to assist and you will have full access to a Director who will take full personal responsibility for the conduct of your transaction.

Land & Property Asset Valuation

All valuations undertaken for any purpose fully comply with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors Appraisal & Valuation Standard.

As a member of the RICS our Associate Surveyor is regulated by that body who insists on the highest standards backed by appropriate Profession Indemnity cover.

Property Management

We manage commercial property for property companies and individuals throughout London and the home counties. Property Management Services will absolve you from any direct involvement in dealing with the tenants. We will collect rent, provide quarterly accounts We ensure the covenants within the lease are complied with and carry out rent reviews and lease renewals when due. We monitor rental values of similar properties to those in management during the period between rent reviews with a view to achieving the best possible outcome.

Landlord & Tenant Negotiations

  • Rent Reviews


Getting it right at rent review, whether you are a Landlord or a Tenant, is essential. For the Landlord in these times of low investment yields even a small increase in rent can translate into a substantial gain in capital value. From the tenant’s point of view seeking professional advice to mitigate to rent increases can maintain the profitability for business.

  • Lease Renewals


Recent changes to the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 have been brought into effect to simplify the procedure for lease renewals.

This is an opportunity for the terms of the new lease to be agreed to suit the respective requirements of the landlord and the tenant. We offer tailored advice to either party at lease renewal. Quite apart from the amount of rent careful consideration is given to the length of term, repairing covenants and subletting/assignment clauses.
