10-14 Duke Street, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 4RU, Reading
We don't just manage bricks and mortar; we make property perform better. As one of the Thames Valley’s few specialist commercial management firms, Hicks Baker combines 20 years of local insight with RICS-regulated expertise to protect and grow your property investments.
Making Your Commercial Property Perform Better
We understand that commercial property is more than just a physical asset—it’s an investment, a workplace, and a reflection of your business. At Hicks Baker, our mission is to unlock the true value of your holdings. Whether you are an investor looking for capital growth or an occupier seeking the perfect laboratory or office space, we provide the strategic edge needed in a competitive market.
Based in the heart of Reading, we are one of only a handful of firms in the Thames Valley with a dedicated team of specialist property managers and accounts support. This allows us to offer a level of granular detail and financial precision that larger, national firms often overlook.

Why Thames Valley Owners and Occupiers Trust Us
Our clients stay with us for decades—some for over 20 years—because we are responsive, knowledgeable, and deeply integrated into the local market. Led by experts like Giles Blagden, our team provides a seamless link between property management and professional advisory services.
- Local Intelligence: Our deep roots in towns like Henley-on-Thames, Wokingham, and High Wycombe give us access to emerging and off-market opportunities.
- Comprehensive Care: We handle everything from the initial search and acquisition to rent reviews, lease re-gearing, and eventual disposal.
- Technical Expertise: With in-house building surveying and architectural services, we manage dilapidations, schedules of condition, and project management under one roof.
Specialists in Retail, Leisure, and Industrial Hubs
We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our retail and leisure team understands the unique pressures of the high street, while our office and industrial specialists are experts in the evolving needs of laboratory and warehouse occupiers.
"We have used Hicks Baker for many years for our commercial property management, lettings, sales and dilapidations surveys. We have always found them efficient and knowledgeable."
A Full-Suite Professional Partnership
Managing a property can be a significant burden. We take that weight off your shoulders through our Occupier Management Services, handling planned maintenance, health and safety compliance, and procurement. For investors, our Asset Management focus ensures that every lease renewal and service charge audit is structured to maximise your revenue income and long-term capital growth.
From the departure of one property to the occupation of the next, we guide you through every negotiation, ensuring you acquire the most suitable premises on the best possible terms.
