LBL Real Estate
Manchester
3rd Floor, One St Peters Square, Manchester, M2 3DE, Manchester
With over 12 years of specialist experience, we provide bespoke property consultancy for the licensed, leisure, and hotel sectors. From Manchester to Liverpool, we help national operators and private investors navigate the operational landscape with honest, expert advice.
We are LBL Real Estate, a niche and independent property consultancy based in the heart of Manchester. We don't try to be everything to everyone; instead, we focus our energy on what we know best: the licensed, leisure, hotel, student, and healthcare sectors.
Whether you are a national operator looking for your next flagship site or a private investor seeking to maximise the value of a freehold asset, we provide the collaborative, bespoke advice you need to succeed in a complex landscape. We fully understand the operational property landscape and the unique challenges it brings to owners and occupiers alike.
Led by Nick — Over 15 Years of Chartered Expertise
Our founder, Nick, began his career in 2005 and qualified as a Chartered Surveyor (MRICS) in 2008. Before establishing LBL Real Estate in 2023, he spent over a decade at CBRE as an Associate Director within the Operational Real Estate Team.
This background gives us a unique edge. We combine the high-level strategic thinking of a global firm with the agility, honesty, and personal touch of a boutique consultancy. We aren't just consultants; we are your partners in navigating the North West market.
