Last month the UK commercial property market saw a 0.2% rise - the first positive growth since June 2007*. Is it still the strongest buyers' market for decades or has the window closed?

Capital is a scarce resource and your FD may be asking you to find some cash within the estate to invest in your business. On the other hand, you may see this as a great time to buy, gain control and make a decent return on the asset at a later date.

The decision is complex and it could be critical to your business. For practical and objective advice on how to align your operational property needs with the financing demands of your business get in touch with us. We can help.

Kind regards

To buy or lease?

- If you owned your building would it help achieve your company's corporate objectives? And how much value would it add?
- Are you aware of how the business downturn is affecting the lease/buy decisions of occupiers in your sector?
- Are you under pressure to release cash from the portfolio to re-invest in the business or pay down debt?
- Are you missing an opportunity to buy counter cyclical?
- Is your Landlord in financial difficulty? You could be sitting on an opportunity.
- If you lease property which is critical to your business would you be better off owning it?
- How would you build a robust business case to support a change of status from being a tenant to an owner occupier?
