About Tunji Adebayo & Co
Social Spaces Made Simple
We believe that shared spaces are the heart of any community. Whether it is a place of worship, a school, or a healthcare clinic, these environments nourish the mind and body. However, we also know that securing the right property for these purposes can be incredibly difficult.
Tunji Adebayo & Co was founded to bridge this gap. We help organisations overcome the barriers to securing property for social services, supporting those who are too often overlooked by larger commercial firms. We aren't just consultants; we are partners in your mission to build a better community.
Why Community Leaders Trust Our 20-Year Legacy
Our story began when our founder, a church pastor, noticed a depleting stock of suitable spaces for religious use. After successfully navigating the complexities of the market for his own community, he founded this firm to help others do the same.
Today, we are recognized authorities in our niche. Our expertise has been sought by The BBC, The Times, and the Sunday Telegraph. We don't just follow policy; we help shape it. Our team has successfully lobbied the UK government and the Mayor of London for policy changes that make it easier for community organisations to acquire and develop space.

- F1/D1 Use Classes: We are specialists in securing consent for non-residential institutions, including nurseries, churches, and community hubs.
- Vacant Property Conversion: We turn neglected buildings into community assets, helping you find value where others see disrepair.
Beyond Surveying: Funding and Investment Support
We understand that community organisations often face unique financial challenges. We have curated relationships with banks, lenders, and private equity firms that specifically understand the intricacies of the charity and healthcare markets.
"Community isn’t just a buzzword to us—it is the fundamental value on which our firm was founded."
