Commercial property remains an important investment asset class and for the majority of financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds and private investors, forms an integral part of a balanced portfolio, providing better long term returns than equities with lower volatility. It also retains an important role on many corporate occupier balance sheets.
The property market is inherently cyclical and rarely static, so investors need dispassionate strategic on-the-pulse advice from experienced consultants that they can trust and act upon. We harness the knowledge of our planning and development, agency and award winning research teams and combine this with our own experience, enabling us to read both rising and falling markets, predict short and long term trends be they national, regional or sector specific, and anticipate the next movement in values. We correctly predicted movements and changes in the last cycle, selling out of department stores at yields of 3.75% and buying back in at 8%.
In deciding whether to buy or sell property, our team has a proven track record in formulating tailor made strategies for investors, and successfully implementing their delivery in accordance with recommendations and objectives, resulting in client expectations always achieved, and often exceeded. We routinely receive accolades for achieving market defining yields on sales, and advising when markets are at the point of turning to generate impressive returns for clients. We are experts in providing property solutions for corporate occupiers by way of organising sale and leaseback transactions, and experts in providing development funding advice.
