Q

Bank Acquisition - talk me through it

A

The objective was to evaluate Stay v Go options due to an upcoming lease expiry.
After agreeing on ToE and completing AML checks, I arranged a call to discuss the client’s key requirements.
I used Agent Society and discussed off-market options with local agents to create a list of available properties based on the client’s size and location requirements (Bank)
I then viewed/inspected several properties from the list with the client.
The client identified their preferred office, and I submitted an offer to negotiate key terms such as rent-free periods.
The offer was not accepted due to competition.
After reviewing budget – decided the most cost-effective solution was to stay put.

Q

Can you talk me through your L2 Office Disposal in Bloomsbury?

A

I was instructed by a landlord to dispose of 7,000 sq ft office in Bloomsbury on a Sole Agency basis.
This was the only floor in the building.
I inspected and measured the property and assessed the internal condition, existing fit-out, local amenities and transport links.
I gathered comparable evidence from similar properties to advise on pricing.
I recommended retaining the fit-out and offering the office as a Plug & Play solution to attract tenants.
I then created marketing particulars and uploaded them to relevant platforms.
I constantly kept the client informed of any progress and have provided updates via bi-monthly calls and the interest schedule.
