What We have Done for Other Clients

Over the years, we have been privileged to act on a wide range of high-profile instructions, consistently focused on maximising value for our clients. We take pride in our strong track record of delivering successful outcomes and exceeding expectations.

​Our ethos is simple: we treat every asset as if it were our own. This drives our passion, diligence, and commitment to achieving the very best results for our clients.

Business Park                             30,000 ft²

Two tenants exercised their lease Breaks that resulted in a 100% across this Investment.  

Simultaneous negotiations commenced & Terms were agreed with the Subtenant of the larger property who agreed to a direct lease; the Head Tenant of the larger property downsized to 5,000 sq ft of the smaller property, and the existing Subtenant agreed Terms for a direct lease. This maintained 100% occupancy under challenging market conditions. 

This instruction incorporated 3 new lettings, 2 dilapidations settlement and 1 Surrender.

Landlords CAT A refurb works, and Tenant CAT B works were completed simultaneously, by 2 separate contractors.

Mixed Use Property                    18,500 ft²

The Client held an obsolete mixed use property that had been declining in value.

 

We successfully negotiated Terms for a series of renewals across 4 ground floor retail units, whereby all Leases were taken Outside of the 1954 Act and were made co-terminous so as to pave the way for potential future repositioning of the Asset, to accommodate increasing demand for a Showroom or Convenience Store uses. This was achieved whilst maintaining rental levels.

We then secured Vacant Possiession of the upper floors for conversion to residential.

The Client was then able to exit at above valuation.

The units to all intense and purposes were vacant, with one tenant trading but on the verge of financial collapse. There was no interest in the space with quoting rents in single digits as there had been no leases agreed for 7 years.

A new marketing strategy was implemented, new agents appointed and Terms were quickly agreed for a new 15-year lease on the entire space, at double the previous Rent.

 

The Investment was subsequently sold at 3 times Valuation.

Office                                          50,000 ft²

Office Building

The Lease had less than 18 months until Expiry and with a significant income stream the owner faced significant Risk as they were exposed to potential significant Rent reductions or a long Void and CapEx. 

Before notices could be served, we immediately engaged with the Tenant to see if there was scope to agree a Reversionary Lease.

The initiative was a success and the Client subsequently sold this attractive Investment at 35% above their existing Valuation.

A co-working / shared workspace business collapsed, resulting in forfeiture of the Lease. 

 

New licences were immediately issued to all the existing occupiers in order to maintain occupancy above 75%, keep the Centre open and maintain an attractive Proposal that could be presented to a new credible and established Operator that would take a new Lease and pay a premium for the benefit of the high end fit-out

At the same time, it became necessary to run the day-to-day activities of a Serviced office business and the FM services which we achieved without service interruption and with minimal handover info.

Retail Warehouse                       20,000 ft²

The tenant sought Landlord’s consent to subdivide the unit and grant 2 new Subleases, following which they presented a proposal for a Surrender, in return for a substantial Premium.

The Terms were re-negotiated which were more favourable; it was agreed the outgoing tenant would meet all Capex, including the cost of a new incoming power supply, no Premium would be paid, and 2 new direct Leases were granted on the reconfigured space increasing the rent by over 7%.

The Client secured an open A1 consent, footfall improved, and as a result, trade for the adjoining tenant increased, so much so they sought to retain their Lease. 

 

The Client saw a 10% increase on Valuation.
