Frequently Asked Questions

• How do our skills add value?

  A key component of our success is the day to day knowledge of market activity, allied with clinical analysis of lease terms, backed by resolute negotiating skills to protect and generate value for our clients.

• I’ve just had a demand for a rent increase from my landlord – What should I do?

  We apply our analytical and professional skills to interrogate the justification for an increase and formulate a robust negotiating position to defend our view and our clients financial interests.

• Rent review/lease renewal – Threat or opportunity?

  Many occupational leases are much shorter nowadays, often being ten years or less.  Our advice and lateral thinking is used to identify opportunities arising from rent reviews or lease renewals, in order to improve our clients position and identify opportunities arising.

• My lease ends shortly – What should I do?

  Our advice will establish your lease position, your goals and a strategy to achieve these, whether your aim is to stay or move elsewhere.
