At our firm, the owners of the business do the work, meet the clients and have the freedom to assemble their own teams to suit each unique requirement. This highly flexible and collaborative approach, tailoring the talent to the complexity of the work, has enabled us to develop a business that has spanned nearly a century.
Our work encompasses advisory, commercial & agency, and planning, historic environment & townscape services.
Planning & Historic Environment
Our commercial planning, historic environment and townscape team draw its success from some of the brightest talents in the industry. The team’s experience spans a mix of complex public and private sector projects across a range of uses, combining housing, regeneration, repurposing, and health and commercial advice in one place.
Our skilled experts dedicate their time to building an in-depth knowledge of the political landscape, the local communities they work in, the existing and emerging policies impacting development opportunities and their relationships with decision-makers and other stakeholders. They enable change and ensure the successful delivery of schemes throughout the UK.
Our 25+ strong Historic Environment and Townscape team advises on all aspects of cultural heritage, townscape and design-related matters, including adding commercial value within the historic environment.

Commercial & Agency
Combining experts from lease advisory, consultancy, investment and agency in both the landowner/landlord and occupier space, we operate a collaborative, sector-focused commercial and transactional team with a ‘consult to transact’ ethos.
Our Industrial and Logistics, Retail and Leisure, Offices and Living teams advise, acquire and sell with a collective view to ensure we can deliver a strong return and provide robust advice under a range of scenarios or performing sectors.
In each of our Commercial and Agency teams, we offer sector-focused expertise in four key services:
- Agency – Our leasing and agency teams provide input into marketing and targeting pre-lets to help reduce your letting risk. They offer unique insight into both the occupier and landlord markets across their specialist sectors to assist in the transaction of assets.
- Investment – Our investment team’s knowledge of local markets and their close network of advisers enables us to successfully purchase or sell properties that meet our client’s tightly defined criteria.
- Lease Advisory – Our lease advisory teams provide detailed technical knowledge, expert witness support if needed, and market insight in undertaking rent reviews, lease renewals, and lease restructures to ensure optimum returns and savings for landlords and occupiers.
- Development – Integrated into our commercial teams are development specialists who look at all alternative use options to underwrite each asset’s value and maximise returns.
