Real Estate Consultancy Ltd

Bridging the Gap Between Your Mission and Your Property

We believe that property should never be a distraction from your core purpose. Whether you are a national charity or a growing commercial business, your real estate is a fundamental 'factor of production'—just as vital as your people, your finance, and your IT.

At RealEstate Consultancy (REC), we don't just provide advice from the sidelines. We embed ourselves within your organisation to understand your unique business needs. We act as your internal property department, providing the 'inside help' you need to navigate the complexities of the outside property world.

Two Decades of Dedicated Support for the Charity Sector

Since 2001, we have built a formidable track record supporting some of the UK’s most respected non-profit organisations. We understand the unique pressures of charitable work, from the need for cost-efficiency to the complexities of retail fundraising.

Our experience includes long-standing partnerships with:

• Health & Research: Cancer Research UK, Macmillan Cancer Support, and various Hospices (Thames, St Elizabeth, St Helena).
• Social Action: British Red Cross, Save the Children, Shelter, and YMCA England & Wales.
• Community Support: Age UK, Scope, and Deafblind UK.

Strategic Portfolio Management at Scale

We have managed retail portfolios ranging from 25 to 250 shops. Our approach is holistic; we don't just tick boxes, we focus on your long-term objectives.

From 'Knotty Problems' to Major Relocations

Whether you are facing a difficult lease renewal or planning a complete organisational restructure, we provide the roadmap to get you there.

1. Property Management Plans (PMP): We develop the strategy, data structures, and control mechanisms to manage your estate effectively.
2. Office Relocations: We handle the entire lifecycle, from developing a 'Hypothetical Layout' and searching the market to negotiating Heads of Terms and managing the fit-out.
3. Retail Optimisation: We actively seek opportunities to reduce space, negotiate rent events, and manage disposals of underperforming 'Q4' assets.
4. Transaction Management: We ensure full compliance with your objectives, managing the legal documentation from exchange through to completion.

"We focus on objectives rather than tasks. Our goal is to soften the accounting impact of property through effective forecasting and to minimise management distraction for your team."

Why Organisations Trust Our Approach

We are results-orientated and straightforward. We don't hide behind jargon; we communicate simple, clear messages at all levels of your organisation, from the front-line
