Introduction
As our founder Martyn Markland explains, representing both landlords and tenants at the same time was never an option;
“I knew that if we were to achieve our objective, we would have to act exclusively for tenants. This is because landlords want rents and capital values to rise. They also want leases to remain inflexible and onerous for tenants. Of course, tenants want the exact opposite. So if you are representing a tenant one minute and a landlord the next, you have an inherent conflict of interest which inevitably makes you less effective as a tenant advocate. I wanted to avoid this by adopting a different model. This meant never acting for a landlord ever again.”
How our difference makes a difference.
It is our job to help you achieve better value than you would by either representing yourself or by employing a traditional property adviser.
We achieve this by leveraging our market knowledge and technical expertise to level the playing field between you and professional landlords.
For example, most of our acquisitions involve surplus tenant space as opposed to vacant landlord space. This type of space is often the most attractive because it is more heavily discounted, it is usually already fitted out and it often provides re-gearing opportunities. However, tenant space is usually hidden from view because it competes with landlord space in the same or neighbouring buildings. Consequently, property letting agents are not overly keen to promote it as it undermines the interests of their landlord clients and in turn, their own interests. Our motivation is very different so we are always keen to identify these types of opportunity and present them to you.
So whether you are looking to relocate your London headquarters or acquire your first lease on a commercial property, our mission remains the same. To help you achieve best value so you can maximise your profits and drive the growth of your business.
