Advisory
Commercial Property Advisory
Independent strategic advice on acquisitions, disposals, portfolio structuring and capital positioning.
Advice with nothing else attached.
Advisory work carries an obvious conflict: the party advising you often earns more if you transact. We take advisory engagements on their own terms, and we will tell you when the answer is to do nothing.
Our advisory practice draws on the same data and market access as our sales and management teams — the difference is that the output is a recommendation, not a mandate.
What this covers
How we work on it.
Acquisition strategy
Where to deploy, what to pay and what to avoid — screening assets against your return requirements and risk tolerance rather than against what is available.
Portfolio structuring
Weighting, diversification and gearing reviewed across the holdings, with a clear view on which assets are carrying disproportionate risk.
Lease and income analysis
Covenant strength, WALE, expiry profile and outgoings recovery examined for what they mean for both income security and eventual exit value.
Due diligence support
Independent review of an asset under contract — the lease, the building, the numbers and the assumptions the price depends on.
Hold or sell analysis
A modelled comparison of continuing to hold against realising now, including what capital works or leasing would do to the outcome.
Capital markets guidance
Current pricing, yield movement and buyer depth by asset class, so investment decisions are made against the market as it is today.
The process
What working with us looks like.
- 01
Scope
We agree the question being answered and what a useful output looks like before any work starts.
- 02
Analysis
Asset, lease and market data worked against your objectives, with assumptions stated openly.
- 03
Recommendation
A written position with the reasoning exposed, so you can test it rather than take it on trust.
- 04
Support
We stay available through implementation, whether or not that involves us transacting.
Next step
Ask us the hard question.
Whether it is a single asset under contract or a portfolio that has drifted from its original strategy, start with a conversation about what you are trying to decide.
