Tenant Advisory Group has completed the acquisition of the fourth floor of Colwyn Chambers on behalf of leading transport planning consultants SCP.
SCP are one of the UK’s leading independent firms of transport planning consultants. Headquartered in Manchester they also have offices in Leeds and London. They work for a variety of public and private clients on a wide range of transport related projects.
The landlord of their previous premises indicated in September 2015 that it was planning a major refurbishment of the property and that it might be willing to grant a surrender of SCP’s lease. SCP instructed TAG to conduct a search for new premises and at the same time negotiate the terms of the surrender.
As Martyn Markland of TAG explains, “the planned refurbishment of Lawrence Buildings by its new owners provided an opportunity for SCP to review its property requirements. The space we have secured for SCP is of a superior specification in a prime CBD location. It also offers plenty of room for expansion and at a highly competitive overall cost.”
David Roberts, Director of SCP, commented “having experienced the benefits that TAG can provide to tenants when we last renewed our office lease some 5 years ago, we had no hesitation in instructing Martyn Markland of TAG to negotiate the surrender of our lease and search for new premises. On both fronts we were very happy with the outcome; Martyn secured a favourable deal for us to vacate our old offices and undertook detailed investigations to provide us with a choice of suitable new premises. Once we made our choice, Martyn secured a favourable deal for us in relation to a rent free period and amendments to the lease to provide additional security for us moving forwards. After another successful outcome for our business I would have no hesitation in recommending the service of TAG to any business tenant.”
