A Holistic Approach to Commercial Property

Maximising Value for Landlords and Tenants
Whether you are a landlord looking to increase your property’s value or a tenant seeking to avoid unfair lease terms, we provide a "one-stop shop" for your needs. We take the time to listen to your specific objectives and tailor our strategic advice accordingly.
Our core expertise includes:
- Rent Reviews & Lease Renewals: We create robust strategies to navigate market uncertainty, reaching mutually beneficial agreements through constructive negotiation.
- Investment Acquisitions: We leverage an extensive network of agents to source and secure off-market assets, from central London offices to industrial units.
- Strategic Management: We work alongside specialist property managers to ensure your investments are well-maintained and professionally managed.
Technical Experts in Business Rates and Dilapidations
We pride ourselves on our technical niche. Aubrey Burn acts for major landlords on business rates mitigation, helping to secure significant savings on vacant buildings and managing the deletion of properties from rating lists during refurbishments.
We are also specialists in Section 18(1) diminution valuations. When a tenant fails to comply with repair obligations, we provide the expert calculations needed to cap dilapidations claims, ensuring the legal recovery is fair and accurate. In the rare cases where negotiations fail, we have a wealth of experience writing Expert Reports for courts and tribunals to protect our clients' interests.
