With our experienced team and coverage across the UK, our commercial property occupier services help build strong relationships with a wide range of investors and landlords.
We believe great landlord and occupier relationships are beneficial for all parties and we will work hard to ensure there are clear communication channels and build relationships with landlords through ongoing dialogue and regular meetings.
We will ensure a forensic review of all invoices and charges regarding all monies due under the terms of the occupational agreement such as rent, insurance, and service charge.
We will advise on payments, query with landlords where necessary and oversee cash flow.
Service charges can be an unexpected, sometimes complicated and costly recharge for occupiers.
We have extensive experience in implementing and administering service charges on behalf of landlords. This expertise allows us to review and challenge service charges in detail when acting for occupiers.
We ensure all service charges levied on a property comply with the lease terms and are charged correctly. If they are not, we challenge them.
We also advise occupiers before they take on a lease, helping them understand the potential risks and costs so they know exactly what they are signing up to.
We will ensure that any insurance premiums being re-charge by landlords are fair and proportional for occupiers with the insurance documents being forensically reviewed.
Our Property Asset & Management team have a hands-on approach – we always have a visible presence and are known to both landlords and tenants. We ensure that we carry out frequent inspections to ensure the security, maintenance, and compliance of properties.
As such, we can advise occupiers on their lease-hold responsibilities ensuring compliance at all stages of the lease cycle.
We ensure the properties we manage remain safe and comply with all statutory requirements. As a business, we hold SafeContractor accreditation and work with our own Health and Safety advisors to keep our surveyors up to date. This helps us maintain the highest standards across our property portfolio.
We keep detailed, easily accessible records to support the ongoing compliance of managed properties. These include asbestos surveys, legionella risk assessments, fire risk assessments, electrical assessments and other health and safety documentation.
We understand the ever-evolving importance of sustainability for occupiers working with them in order to achieve their goals.
