How do we add value?

Management Time

Overseeing a relocation project is a very time consuming exercise. Our input will release senior management time to concentrate on their core business.

Securing the Right Building on the Best Possible Terms

Using our expertise and experience means that you are most likely to secure a property that not only suits your business but also that the terms agreed are the best that can be achieved. Furthermore, in many cases we are able to identify properties that are “off market” and therefore would not have been known to our client. Where a professional advisor is involved with negotiations, landlords and vendors will know that the proposal is properly considered and from a creditable source.

Our Fee Structures

We are totally flexible as to how our fees are structured. At the end of the project we want our clients to be certain that our costs have paid for themselves many times over. We are confident that they will. Our philosophy is to create long term client relationships. Most of our clients are referrals or repeat business.

Clients who have used our services before know that we provide value for money, and are generally happy to work on a time basis within agreed budgets. Alternatively we can structure our fees on a performance related basis, or agree a fixed fee.
