Portfolio Management & Lettings

Clearly, efficient management of a real property investment will add significantly to its value and the returns from it.

We have a justifiably strong reputation for acting for landlords, tenants and other occupiers of offices and other types of property. This reputation is based on our ensuring that we have a thorough understanding of our clients' reasons for wanting the relevant property and the use the client intends to make of it.

In addition to the usual title and other due diligence enquiries, we are particularly concerned to ensure that provisions which have, or may have, a significant impact on the financial obligations of our clients are fully understood and negotiated.
These include:

• the length of the lease and any break options;
• rental liability and rent review;
• use of the property, and constraints on that use and, or changes of use;
• insurance arrangements;
• alterations, both internally and externally;
• continuing liability after assignment or surrender.

We can advise clients on all aspects of their corporate real estate strategy. In particular, we can help with:

• conducting a real estate audit to review their real estate holdings;
• developing a strategic real estate plan which will free up management time and deliver real value to the shareholders;
• implementing that plan, whether it involves disposals, sale and leasebacks, securitisation or outsourcing.
