Find your next property with full confidence
We help ambitious businesses secure the right workspace on the best terms. By combining deep market knowledge with proprietary technology and data, our teams provide a comprehensive view of options to meet your timeframe and criteria.
Our approach
Choosing the right workspace is a critical decision for any business. We blend the experience of seasoned property experts with exclusive access to in-house data and technology to give our clients an edge. We’re a London-based team with nationwide reach and international capability.
Working with SHB, we will come prepared to each requirement with:
- → Unmatched insight: Our market intelligence systems provide real-time data on availability – on market, off market or in the pipeline, lease terms, incentives, and market movements.
- → Collaborative expertise: You’re supported by a close-knit team of specialists who take time to understand your business, commercial drivers and regulations.
- → End-to-end support: From our first conversation to your successive moves, we can manage every detail you want us to. Legal negotiations, fit-out advice, project management, business rates, building consultancy, lease advisory and disposals. Even management and furniture procurement.
How it works
Strategic consultation to understand your business goals, operational needs and timing. Our trusted method carried out with hundreds of businesses is how we tailor our search for maximum value.
We will provide formal advice with all your best options. From your shortlist, we build a bespoke schedule of all possible spaces, both on and off market. Our team arranges and accompanies you and your stakeholders on viewings to help ask the right questions and provide immediate feedback.
Once you’ve found the right space, we negotiate every aspect on your behalf – powered by live data, market knowledge, historical benchmarks and decades of experience. Our goal is to secure terms that outperform the market.
From legal coordination to fit-out planning, we can orchestrate every moving part so you can focus on running your business.
We’ll make sure everything is in place, so you can move into your new office with minimal disruption.
