One client avoided missing out on a £300,000 lease opportunity thanks to our TERA system. Over the past two years, we’ve saved our clients £60 million through our unique insights.
Timely Solutions for Operational Efficiencies in Property
We know our everyone on the property ladder or responsible for their team members is closely watching how the market conditions are unfolding. Things are moving quickly, and every operational saving matters for reinvestment or staying afloat. The UK office market especially needs smart insights and new perspectives. Grade A London prime vacancy was below 3% at the end of 2025, and about 70% of 2026’s development pipeline was pre-let before completion. Businesses using outdated reports or basic vacancy numbers are making decisions without the full picture.
SHB’s platforms help close that information gap. Our clients get real-time market data, lease event insights, and location analytics to give them an edge in negotiations.
We achieve these results by bringing together technology and the expertise of our qualified team and wider network of expert delivery partners.
Looking Ahead At the PropTech Landscape & CRE Service Delivery
Being shortlisted at the Commercial Property Awards confirms we’re on the right path. We’ll keep building our own tools to give occupiers a real advantage in a complex market. We’ll keep working as part of our clients’ teams, using data to reduce risk and deliver results that make the investment worthwhile.
It’s a real honour for a 30-year-old awards programme to shortlist an independent advisory firm like ours in a technology category usually led by much larger companies. This shows that commercial property advice is changing, and SHB is helping to shape the future.
We look forward to the ceremony and congratulate all finalists across every category.
