Providing real estate advice to UK Local Government and Government agencies.

We recognise the financial pressures on Local Government to maximise revenue and reduce costs. 

Our case-studies demonstrate our experience of squeezing every pound of value out of property assets, helping you to achieve your financial, social and regeneration goals.

Our extensive research capabilities, including the Winning Cities Programme (we study the strengths and weaknesses of cities throughout Europe), enables us to analyse success and apply these metrics when we advise you.

Over the years we have worked with public authorities on:

• the creation of strategic partnerships to deliver public sector projects with private sector skills and finance
• the delivery of effective property solutions, advising on operational and investment assets.  This includes transactional advice compliant with Section 123 of the Local Government Act 1972, to assessing the value of bids (where cost is not the sole council objective).
• providing best value advice on projects aiming to maximise financial and other solutions.
• The Planning Act 2008 that introduces the Community Infrastructure Levy albeit much of the detail which will be in secondary legislation.  We have undertaken two studies, one across the whole of London, to consider the yield across the whole of London.
• your regeneration objectives.  We bring unrivalled development experience across all major land uses together with financial engineering skills.
• asset management, to maximise returns and/or optimal occupancy of property resources.  We assist – in a landlord or tenant capacity – on rent reviews and lease reviews.
