Our expert, discrete, strategic investment property advice will help you get the best possible price for your disposal.

If you’re considering releasing capital from your portfolio, it’s important that you choose the right commercial properties to maximise your receipts and have the best impact on your remaining investment properties. We will advise on the construction of your investment portfolio, your marketing strategy and what we expect your guide price should be for any assets you decide to sell.

If you’re looking to sell an investment property, to secure the best price within your desired timescale, it’s essential that you use the right method of sale to target the right audience. We’ll design a disposal solution to meet your specific needs – whether that’s a formal OJEU tender process for managing public sector procurement or complex development sales to the fast, efficient route offered by our in-house auctions capability.

To maximise your sales price, you need to market the property to the right buyers. Our understanding of the UK investment market, provided through our national network, helps us to target buyers for both wide marketing campaigns or discreet off-market transactions.

When we help you dispose of an investment property, we draw on resources from across the business to help you achieve the best price. This includes everything from arranging refurbishment works to looking for opportunities to regear leases.

If you’re looking to acquire development or investment property, we provide asset selection strategies and access to distressed stock so you can deploy capital in a timely manner.

In a market where stock is limited and lenders are resistant to taking write downs on their debt, it’s a challenge for investors to identify suitable commercial property investment opportunities.

To meet return on investment targets, investors need early access to non-traditional sources of commercial property investment – for example non-performing loan sales and collapsed Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) structures.

If you’re looking to acquire development or investment property, our expert, discrete, strategic advice can help. We provide asset selection strategies and access to distressed stock so you can deploy capital in a timely manner to meet stakeholder demands.

Securing the right commercial property investments for the right price

We draw on expertise from across our business to make sure you get the right assets for the right price – delivering maximum return with minimised risk.

Our services cover everything from due diligence on your property investment to letting advice, property development support and asset management strategies. 

Providing informed, intelligent property advice

In every market across the UK, we monitor lease breaks, which commercial property is currently vacant and which occupiers are looking to move and where.

This makes our advice better informed and accurate than any of our competitors and the solutions we recommend more reliable, yielding better results for you.

Our insight comes from tracking over 150,000 tenancies and lease events, and more than 30,000 commercial properties over 100 commercial locations. The information is 100% accurate and we’ll use it to help create an integrated investment strategy for your portfolio.

To support your acquisition, we’ll also draw on our UK Investment Transactions (UKIT) database. This gives us visibility of every buyer and seller in the UK commercial property market, providing us with real time data on which investors are active in the market at any given time.

We identify suitable parties for forward purchase or forward commitment to provide you with the property finance you need to build out your development site.

The development process can often be blocked because commercial property developers do not have access to the funding necessary to begin the build process.

We identify suitable parties for forward purchase or forward commitment to provide you with the property finance you need to build out your development site.

Generating the links between asset owners, development skills and investment

We’ll be able to identify the best disposal or funding route for you, whether that’s from our retained investor client base or from purchasers we’ve identified in the market.

If you’re an occupier looking to deliver new properties and release capital from your existing estate, we can provide you with access to development funding and expertise.

For developers, if you’ve already secured an agreement for a lease, we can find partners to help you fund, build out or forward sell your commercial property development.

We’ve helped facilitate funding opportunities for developers which have seen them deliver a number of construction projects that would otherwise not have been built.

We can help you use sale and leaseback agreements to release capital from your existing assets or to fund new properties for occupation.

Sale and leasebacks are a way of releasing capital from real estate portfolios. They’re a long-established tool for occupiers in both private and public sectors and are also used by many private equity firms to fund acquisitions through opco/propco structures.
