Commercial Property Management

Practical property management with clear commercial focus

Whether you own a single property or a wider portfolio, property management plays a critical role in protecting value and supporting long-term performance. Our role is to provide a hands-on, proactive service that combines practical property management with informed asset-level oversight, tailored to the needs of each property and client.

We take the time to understand your objectives and the situation with each asset, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all management model. By combining detailed local market knowledge with professional expertise, we help clients manage obligations, maintain compliance and plan ahead without unnecessary complexity.

Working across a wide range of office, industrial, retail and leisure properties, our team provides clear insight of income, expenditure, risk and opportunity, helping owners make informed decisions at every stage.

How We Support Commercial Property Owners

Whether you’re focused on protecting income, improving performance or reducing involvement in day-to-day management, our role is to give you confidence that your property is being managed properly.

We support clients by helping them to:

  • Protect and optimise rental income

  • Maintain compliance with statutory and lease obligations

  • Manage tenants and suppliers efficiently

  • Keep properties well-maintained and operational

  • Plan ahead with a clear, informed asset management approach

If you’re not sure what level of support you need, that’s fine. We’ll start with your priorities and build the right approach from there.

Our Property Management Services

Our Property Management team is able to draw upon our in-house teams to ensure clients benefit from up-to-date local market knowledge, research and a broad range of professional expertise.

  • Rent collection can be surprisingly time-consuming but is one of the foundations of effective property management.

    We manage rent collection in accordance with RICS best practice, proactively chasing non-payment, reducing void periods where possible and helping ensure rental income is collected efficiently and consistently.

  • We manage all aspects of service charge administration, from preparing annual budgets and forecasting expenditure through to managing suppliers, handling tenant queries and producing reconciliations.

    Our approach is focused on transparency, accuracy and clear communication, helping ensure properties operate smoothly and disputes are avoided.

  • Once a tenant is in occupation, a wide range of matters can arise during the life of a lease.

    Our team manages landlord and tenant issues such as consent applications, breach management, lease exits and day-to-day tenant liaison. This ensures issues are dealt with promptly and correctly, while protecting the landlord’s position and maintaining positive occupier relationships.

  • Compliance is a significant responsibility for commercial property owners and can be difficult to manage without dedicated support.

    We help manage statutory obligations, health and safety requirements, inspections and record keeping, ensuring owners understand their responsibilities and that compliance is managed on their behalf in line with best practice.

  • Whether dealing with ad-hoc repairs, emergency works, planned maintenance or refurbishment projects, we manage contractor engagement and oversight on your behalf.

     We work with a pool of vetted, qualified local contractors and, where appropriate, draw on in-house building surveying expertise to ensure works are managed efficiently, safely and cost-effectively.

  • Effective property management benefits from clear forward planning.

    We work with clients to establish short, medium and long-term asset management strategies, informed by market conditions, property performance and client objectives. These strategies evolve over time, ensuring assets remain well-managed and appropriately positioned.
