Lease Advisory
Lease Advisory is a cornerstone of the comprehensive strategic asset management service that Four & Co provide to both landlords and tenants.

Maximising rental income and lease term allows landlords to create value when selling an asset. Our lease advisory and investment agency experts work together across the entire ownership lifecycle.

When acting for tenants, we combine our deep technical expertise with a commercial agency led approach to secure the best terms possible.

Our Lease Advisory experts give tactical and strategic advice on lease renewals, lease re-gears (breaks removal negotiations and lease restructuring) and rent reviews as well as preparing reports for submission to Arbitrators, Independent Experts and Courts in the event of rent review / lease renewal disputes.

Landlord Agency

Four & Co strive to maximise value on behalf of commercial property owners in accordance with their asset management and investment objectives.

Rather than being basic leasing agents, we take a proactive and forensic, data-led approach and overlay this with our strong market network to optimise outcomes for our landlord clients.

This provides our clients with a deep understanding of the dynamics of their specific market and establishes the strongest position to create competitive tension between the occupiers bidding on a new lease basis.

Our leasing team works in a highly collaborative manner drawing on the collective experience of our occupier agency, lease advisory and investment teams to provide our investor clients with unparalleled, holistic advice.

Investment Agency

Our investment agency experts work in partnership with clients to either prepare assets to achieve optimal disposal returns or to maximise opportunities and performance from acquisitions.

We secure assets by proactively identifying sector mispricing, quantifying misunderstood risk, and uncovering overlooked potential. All assets are assessed by our lease advisory and tenant specialists as well as our investment agents to ensure our advice is thorough and strategic.  The most effective way to achieve the best returns on an asset is by getting the purchase price right at the start.

We are regarded as a trusted advisor by our clients, and pride ourselves on straightforward advice that is grounded in data as well as in depth knowledge of local markets across the UK market. To achieve peak results, we position clients’ disposals with pre-sale asset management and a strong sales narrative.

Alongside our specialism in buying and selling high street retail, shopping centres and supermarkets, we have expertise in alternative assets including drive thru’s, day nurseries, hotels, and petrol filling stations.

Occupier Agency

Back to top
Property portfolio expansion is critical to the growth strategy of many retailers and restauranteurs. Finding the best located and configured sites can mean the difference between success and failure in any given location for an occupier.

Four & Co specialise in site finding for occupiers throughout the UK in locations ranging from major regional shopping destinations to busy seaside tourist towns.

We are tenacious in our search for finding the best stores and committed to sourcing the best opportunities both on and off market for our retail and leisure clients.

In an ever-changing marketplace, extensive local knowledge of the UK property market is critical. Local market dynamics impact rents, lease terms and tenant demand. A clear understanding of these factors allows Four & Co to secure best lease terms. We pride ourselves as being regarded as our retailer’s partners and brand ambassadors. We face off to the market on their behalf and ensure that they are at the forefront of landlords’ business plans.
