Have a Commercial Asset?
We work with owners of commercial property to identify and unlock development potential. Get in touch to discuss your asset.
Commercial Property Services
Four disciplines. One underwriting standard across all of them.
Hotel Conversions
We acquire underperforming hotels where the building is worth more in another use, and take them through planning, refurbishment and exit. Trading position, tenure, structural capacity and the local residential market all come first. If the conversion only works on an optimistic exit yield, we do not proceed.
- Permitted development and full planning routes
- Structural and services survey before exchange, not after
- Planning, design and construction management kept in house
- Exit buyer profile identified before acquisition
Office Conversions
We convert vacant and underlet offices into residential under Class MA permitted development or full planning consent. Not every office qualifies, and not every office that qualifies is worth converting. Floor plate, daylight, ceiling heights and the cost of stripping out decide it long before the planning route does.
- Class MA permitted development and full consent routes
- Floor plate and daylight tested against saleable area, not gross area
- EPC pathway costed as part of the acquisition, not deferred
- Vacant possession strategy agreed before exchange
Value Enhancement
Planning strategy, lease restructuring and repositioning on assets already held, whether by us or by an owner who wants the value unlocked without selling. We work alongside equity or on a standalone mandate.
- Planning uplift and change of use strategy
- Lease restructuring and tenant repositioning
- ESG and EPC repositioning ahead of MEES deadlines
- Fee or equity share, agreed at the outset
Airspace Development
Rooftop and airspace schemes on existing commercial buildings, in urban markets where there is no ground left to build on. Structural capacity and access decide feasibility, and both are established before anything else is discussed.
- Permitted development airspace rights
- Structural feasibility and engineering assessment
- Revenue share or acquisition structures
- Specialist planning and design team
