Acquisition

Acquisition of offices requires an intimate knowledge of the buildings, landlords and agents in the relevant marketplace. We have that knowledge through our ongoing market activity. We are able quickly to assess our client’s needs. Through our extensive contacts, market knowledge and database we can efficiently and effectively identify the best property solution, negotiating the most advantageous terms. Our contacts with advisers and property owners at all levels often enables us to source “off market” or early opportunities, which can be particularly advantageous in competitive situations. For tenants relocating, we can also advise on dilapidations claims on the building being exited.

Every instruction is different, and our team can advise on the most cost-effective marketing tools and the most productive media for promotion.
