With volatile market conditions it is vital that your advisors possess up to the minute market knowledge in order to ensure that you achieve the optimum transaction, bearing in mind the short and long term needs of your business plan.

Edward Symmons & Partners set out to understand the financial, human resource, operational structure and needs to your business, thereby enabling us to ensure that the planned property disposal relates closely to your business plan, given the market conditions pertaining at the time. We will try and ensure that the disposal of the property meets the operational and financial requirements of your organisation, taking into account your short and long-term objectives. This will allow us to minimise any physical or financial disruption to your business and maximise the realisation or minimise the loss on the disposal of the property.

When letting a property, especially for the first time (rather than as an underletting) it is vital to have a clear understanding of the investment market and how any proposed letting terms or tenant covenant will affect the property's value. We are driven by the phrase "maximise net present value". We fully appreciate the time effect on money and pride ourselves on taking a pragmatic approach.

Whatever the nature of the transaction be it acquisition or disposal we have found from practical experience with a wide range of organisations, that careful planning throughout from the development of a clear brief to the conclusion of the transaction produces the best results. Edward Symmons & Partners are specialists in these fields and regularly advise many well known companies and organisations.
